<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The V stitch is such a fun and easy thing to crochet, I use it often.  I received a few questions about working the V stitch, so I figured a tutorial was in order.  If you’re more of a visual person (I totally am too), this will be most helpful.  To demonstrate the V stitch, we’ll work the first few rows of the Pavement Infinity Scarf<\/a>.  Be sure to check at the bottom of this post for more patterns using the V stitch too.<\/span><\/p>\n

To begin, I used the same yarn and hook as the Pavement Infinity Scarf.  However, you can use any yarn you like to practice yours.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Begin by making a slip knot,<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Then chain 19,<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

In the 4th chain from the hook, work one double crochet, chain 1, then one double crochet all in that same chain, this will make the first “V”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Now skip two chains, and in that next chain, do the same thing, dc, ch 1, dc all in that same chain.  Now we have two Vs.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Keep repeating this sequence until you reach the end.  You have now completed the foundation row.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Now you’ll want to turn and chain 3.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

On to row 1…now, see where my hook is pointing?  Right in the middle of that V?  This is where we will put our first V of row 1.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

So in that first V, work dc, ch 1, dc, all in that same space.  (Note: be sure you are working in the spaces and not the stitches (loops).  For  a more detailed explanation, click here<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Do the same thing in the next V,<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

And continue until you reach the last V,<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Before you go on on to the next row, work one double crochet in the turning chain space from the previous row.  (Note: be sure not to make a V in this space, just one dc, if you were to make a V, you would be increasing every row and ultimately end up with a triangle-like shape)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Now we’re ready for the next row…<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The next row and all rows after it will be exactly like row 1 from the pattern.  Just keep repeating the previous row for as long as you would like your piece to be.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, turn and chain 3 again,<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

and now work the row as before…keep going until your piece is exactly the length you’d like it to be.  Be sure to check below for more V-stitch patterns!<\/span><\/p>\n
