Crochet V Stitch Tutorial – an easy beginner guide

I don’t know about you but I love learning new crochet stitches and so I’m hoping this crochet V stitch tutorial helps you to try something new or refresh your memory if it’s been a while.

I asked my subscribers whether they find it easier to learn to crochet from video tutorials or just photos and was overwhelmed with the response! It turns out you all really like videos (but some of you also like photos so don’t worry, I’ll keep going with those too).

So I’ve put together a little video teaching you how to crochet the V stitch to accompany my free crochet V stitch blanket pattern that is so simple and fun to make.

If, like me, you love making blankets but you’re a beginner and not sure where to start then I have 6 easy crochet blanket patterns for beginners that you might enjoy. It talks all about yarn choices, hooks and much more to set you in the right direction.

What else can you use the crochet V stitch tutorial to make?

This is such a great crochet stitch to learn and is perfect for so many projects – blankets, scarves, garments, bags, just about anything you like really.

Depending on the yarn you choose, the fabric will fell fairly open and lacy so it lends itself really well to garments especially but I could see some lovely homeware patterns using it and definitely accessories of all shapes and sizes.

If you’d like to create a slightly denser fabric with it then just go down a hook size or two and that might help. You’ll still have the same ‘open’ feel to the stitch but it will just be a bit firmer.

Materials:

Your choice of yarn, in the video I’ve used Rico Creative Cotton Aran 

A 5mm/H crochet hook (my favourite for cotton yarn is a wooden streamline crochet hook from Furls)
