In this free step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the double V and diamond stitch. This stitch is a lacy crochet stitch. The fabric turns out light and breathable. It works great for shawls and wraps, lightweight scarves, lacy crochet summer tops and tanks, lightweight ponchos and other summer crochet projects. This stitch can also be used in decorative crochet projects for the home.
This crochet stitch tutorial includes photo instructions and a video tutorial (see below). The double V and diamond stitch is a repeat of two rows. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make single crochet and double crochet. It is easy to make and suitable for crochet beginners.
