In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the striped V stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes photo instructions and a video tutorial (see below). For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a double crochet. The striped V stitch is a repeat of two rows. It is very easy to make and it is suitable for crochet beginners. The fabric turns out light and it has a nice texture.
For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: dusty tulip, and a 2.0 mm hook.
