V Stitch Definition
Work 1 dc st, 1 ch st, and 1 more dc st. In row 1, all 3 of these sts will be worked in the same chain. In rows 2 and up, they will all be worked in the same space.
Note that there are quite a few variations of the V stitch, so you might encounter other patterns that define a V stitch differently.
Stitch Instructions - Solid Versions:
Use these instructions for crocheting pieces similar to versions A, B or C pictured above.
The starting chain is a multiple of 4 + 9. Crochet your starting chain.
Row 1: DC in 4th ch from hook, (ch 1, skip next 3 chs, V-st in 4th ch from hook.) Repeat sequence in parentheses all the way across the row. When you get to the end of the row, work a dc in each of the last 2 chs.
Row 2: Ch 1, turn.
Sc in each of the first 2 dc sts. (Sc in ch-1 space, sc in next V-st, ch 3, sc in same V-st.) Repeat sequence in parentheses all the way across the row. When you get to the end of the row, sc in the last ch-1 space, then work 1 sc in each of the last 2 sts.
Row 3: Ch 3, turn.
Skip the first sc; the turning chain counts as the first dc. Dc in next sc. (Ch 1, V-st in next ch-3 space.) Repeat sequence in parentheses all the way across the row. When you get to the end of the row, ch 1, then work 1 dc in each of the last 2 sts.
Row 4: Repeat row 2.
Row 5: Repeat row 3.
Continue repeating rows 2 and 3 as many times as desired.
