In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the picot and large V stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a single crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a treble crochet. The picot and large V stitch is a repeat of four rows. It is a very nice multicolor crochet stitch.
For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: dusty tulip and dusty pink, and a 2.0 mm hook.
