In this free step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the lacy mixed cluster V stitch. The lacy mixed cluster V 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, and other summer crochet projects.

For this crochet stitch you should know how to make single crochet, double crochet, and half double crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a double crochet two together stitch.
Materials and tools
Yarn: For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn DIAMOND mercerized cotton 8/4, 50 g = 165 m, color: 706 (sea green). However, you can use your favorite yarn depending on the crochet project.
Hook: I use a 2.0 mm hook. If you are using a different yarn, choose the hook size that is recommended on your yarn label.
