V-Stitch

• (DC, CH 1, DC) in one stitch

• Turn after each row.

Multiples

• CH 3 (+7)

Base

• DC in 4th CH from hook
• CH 1, skip 1,
• Repeat *V-Stitch, skip 2*
• CH 1, DC in last 2 stitches

Pattern repeat

1

• CH 3 {represents DC}, DC, CH 1
• V-Stitch in V-Stitch
• CH 1, DC in last 2 stitches

Variations

There are many ways to create V-stitches; just have to adjust the beginning foundation chain accordingly…

No-Space V-Stitch

No CH-1 between the DCs – creates a denser piece. Has only 1 stitch on each end as border.

• CH up multiples of 6
• 2 DC in 4th CH from hook
• Repeat *Skip 1, (2 DC)* till 2 CH left
• Skip 1, DC in last CH
  PATTERN REPEAT
• CH 3,
• Repeat *(2 DC) between DC of V-stitch*
• DC in last stitch

HDC V-Stitch

Exactly like DC V-Stitch in a different stitch. Slightly less dense than the No-Space V-Stitch. Has 2 stitches on each side as border.

• CH up multiples of 3 (+6)
• HDC in 3rd CH from hook, CH 1, skip 1
• Repeat *(HDC, CH 1, HDC), Skip 2* till 4 CH left
• CH 1, HDC in last 2 CHs
  PATTERN REPEAT
• CH 2, HDC, CH 1,
• Repeat *(HDC, CH 1, HDC) in each v-stitch*
• CH 1, HDC in last 2 stitches

TRC V-Stitch

Exactly like DC V-Stitch in a different stitch. Hole-ly and lacey. Has 2 stitches on each side as border.

• CH up multiples of 3 (+8)
• TRC in 5th CH from hook, CH 1, skip 1
• Repeat *(TRC, CH 1, TRC), Skip 2* till 4 CH left
• CH 1, TRC in last 2 CHs
  PATTERN REPEAT
• CH 4, TRC, CH 1,
• Repeat *(TRC, CH 1, TRC) in each v-stitch*
• CH 1, TRC in last 2 stitches

Pattern can be replicated further for taller stitches, increase the number of chains after the multiples of 3 for foundation chain.
