About this Stitch

The V-Stitch is a simple yet striking crochet stitch that creates a delicate, open texture resembling little “V” shapes. It’s made by working two treble crochets (US double crochets) into the same stitch or space, separated by a chain. It’s perfect for adding lightness and interest to your work.
