In this free step-by-step crochet tutorial I show how to make the twin V crochet stitch working in rows and working in rounds. This stitch is a lacy crochet stitch. The fabric turns out light and breathable. When worked in rows, it is also a reversible crochet stitch that looks the same on both sides. The twin V stitch works great for shawls and wraps, lightweight scarves, lacy crochet summer tops and tanks, market bags and other summer crochet projects.
This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. The twin stitch is a repeat of one row. For this stitch you should know how to make double crochet. It is a very easy stitch to make and suitable for beginners.
The twin V crochet stitch looks slightly different depending on whether you work in rows or in rounds. When working in rounds, every row looks exactly the same; therefore, the fabric looks a bit more even. Even though this stitch has a simple look, it is still very beautiful.
Materials and tools
Yarn: For this tutorial I use Järbo 8/4 100% Cotton Mercerized & Gassed 50 g, colors: 32032 (frosty green). 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.
