In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the block and puff V stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a double crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a puff stitch. The block and puff V stitch is a repeat of two rows. The fabric turns out light and it has a beautiful texture.
For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn Diamond mercerized cotton 8/4, 50 g = 165 m, color: sea green 706, and a 2.0 mm hook.
