In this step-by-step crochet tutorial I show how to make the half double crochet V stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. The half double crochet V stitch consists of a half double crochet, a chain and the second half double crochet made in the same stitch. The pattern is a repeat of one row. This stitch is reversible and looks the same on both sides. It is very easy to make and it is suitable for crochet beginners.
For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn Diamond mercerized cotton 8/4, 50 g = 165 m, color: 603 (light blue), and a 2.0 mm hook.
