ch = chain dc = double crochet ea = each rep = repeat sl st = slip stitch st = stitch sk = skip
The V-stitch: To complete each V-stitch, work 1 dc st, 1 ch st, and 1 more dc st in the same chain or space. Crochet a foundation chain. Row 1: dc in 4th ch from hook. The last 3 chs count as the 1st dc in the row. Ch 1, skip next ch, [dc in next ch, ch 1, dc in same ch. Skip next 2 chs.] Rep the sequence in brackets across the row. At the end of the row, ch 1, skip 2 chs, then work 1 dc in ea of the next 2 ch sts. ch 3, turn. Row 2: the turning chain counts as the first dc in the row. Dc in next dc. Ch 1, work 1 v st in ea v st across the row. Ch 1, skip next ch, work 1 dc in ea of the last 2 dc sts. Rep row 2 until the piece reaches the desired length. Secure the last stitch and weave in the ends. Updated by Mollie Johanson. Yarn over and work a double crochet into the fourth chain stitch from the hook. Chain 1. Chain 1. This is the first half of the V-Stitch and the chain that separates it at the top. Skip the next two chain stitches. Double crochet. Chain 1. Double crochet in the same chain stitch, completing the V-stitch. When you get to the end of the row, work a chain stitch, then work one double crochet stitch into each of the last two stitches. This matches the edge at the beginning of the row. Turn the work over to crochet the second row, working back across the first row. Chain 1. Each new V-stitch should work into the middle of the V-stitch in the row below. You should place your hook in the space between the V, rather than into the chain stitch. Work another double crochet to complete the V-stitch. Follow the pattern until the piece is as long as you want it to be.
