In this free step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the striped V stitch. This stitch is a lacy crochet stitch. The fabric turns out light and breathable. It works great for shawls and wraps, lightweight scarves, lacy crochet summer tops and tanks, light blankets and other summer crochet projects.
This crochet stitch tutorial includes photo instructions and a video tutorial (see below). The striped V stitch is a repeat of two rows. For this crochet stitch you should know how to make double crochet. It is very easy to make and suitable for crochet beginners.
Materials and tools
Yarn: For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: dusty tulip. However, you can use your favorite yarn depending on the crochet project.
Hook: I use a 2.0 mm hook. If you are using a different yarn, choose the hook size that is recommended on your yarn label.
