In this step-by-step crochet tutorial I show how to make the interlocking double V crochet stitch. For this stitch you should know how to make a single crochet and a double crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a double crochet working two rows below. The interlocking double V crochet stitch is a repeat of two rows. To get the same color effect as in this example, you will need two colors. The color pattern for the interlocking double V stitch gives a ripple effect and it looks very interesting. This stitch is reversible and looks the same on both sides.
For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, colors: dusty pink and eucalyptus, and a 2.0 mm hook.
