In this free step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the offset V stitch. This stitch is a lacy crochet stitch. The fabric turns out light and breathable. It is also a reversible crochet stitch that looks the same on both sides. The offset V stitch works great for shawls and wraps, lightweight scarves, lacy crochet summer tops and tanks, lightweight blankets and other summer crochet projects.
This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. The offset V stitch is a repeat of one row. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make double crochet. It is very easy to make and suitable for crochet beginners.
