V Stitch Crochet Stitch Tutorial - Easy 1 Row Repeat!

Hey everyone it's Deja with Knit and Crochet Rafter and today we are continuing our two row repeat series. This is the V stitch. I am using some worsted weight yarn and a J hook. I'm going to talk about at the end how you can change up the look of this so be sure to check that out when we get there but you can download Be sure to like and follow or subscribe the stitch pattern in the description. or whatever it's called if you like getting free patterns all the time. So let's get started. Okay so to begin our pattern we're going to do multiples of three. I have 18 chains here so whatever width you want to do just do a multiple of three and you'll be good to go. So we're going to begin by skipping our first two chains and that's kind of what we do throughout and we're going to work into the third chain and we're going to do a couple stitches. We're going to do a if I don't split my yarn we're going to do a single crochet We're going to do a chain one and I'm going to make it a little bit bigger than normal and I'll explain why in a bit. And then we're going to do another single crochet into that stitch. So it's a single crochet, chain one, single crochet. Then we're going to skip our next two chains. Like I said, we're going to be skipping a lot of chains and work into the third one and we're going to do the same thing. A single crochet, we're going to chain one a little big and then single crochet. Again, skip two, work into that third. We're going to continue this across, and I'll come back at the end of the row so you can see what we do in the last stitch. Spoiler alert, same thing. Okay, here's our last stitch. We're gonna do the same thing. We're gonna single crochet, chain one, and single crochet. So The next row is basically going to be the one that we repeat, so it's not really a two row repeat even though I call it that, it's really going to be just a one row. One thing to note, keep track of how many stitches you're making, so it's kind of like a group of three, so you can kind of see the little humps, you can do like three, six, nine, twelve, fifteen, eighteen. That's going to come in handy when you're working your rows because um sometimes you know it's kind of jumbled so it's a little difficult to see sometimes but we're going to do a chain one to start every single row after this and then we're going to work around our chain one so that's why i said make it a little bit bigger it's a little easier to see you can kind You can kind of pull your... Single crochets apart, you can also look because it's that middle of the three stitches, so it's right there. We're gonna do the same thing that we just did. We're gonna single crochet, chain one, single crochet. So we're gonna go all the way around the chain, single crochet, chain one, single crochet. And we're gonna go to our next one. So again, we're in this big hole here. We have a single crochet, a single crochet, and our chain one in the middle. Work a single crochet. Single crochet. So we're going to continue that across. Remember, pay attention to how many stitches you've done so that you're not adding anything or losing anything by the end of the row because it gets a little difficult at the end to go like, where am I supposed to work here? Am I not supposed to work here? So we kind of paying attention. So here's my last group of three. I'm working into that middle. This is a good stitch to really learn what your stitches look like because you have to work in that same spot every time, otherwise it's going to look a little funny when you're all done. So again, we're looking for that middle stitch. Here's one, two, three, so that two there, and I make that one very big. So I'm going to do a few more rows so you can see what this looks like as a bigger swatch. Okay, here I am at the very last stitch of my swatch that I'm going to do. Same kind of thing. And now you can really see how these line up. And it kind of gives you like the blueprint to follow because it's right in between those two V's of the single crochet below. So you can see how they stack up. So it's a very pretty stitch. I'm using a J with worsted and you can see that this is a pretty dense swatch. To make it more drapey always go up in hook size and that will help you to it will open it up more it'll be less stiff so whenever you have a swatch you know when you're just watching trying stuff out this is a very thick worsted so I would go 6.5 maybe even to the 8 if I wanted it really lacy kind of like but the bigger hook you go The more drape you're going to get. So that is the two, really one row V stitch. I hope you enjoyed it. Be sure to like and subscribe and follow all that good stuff to get notified when I release new free patterns.
