Fun Crochet Sweater Pullover pattern (FREE!) featuring the unique Single Crochet V Stitch. Yep! A crochet V stitch using SINGLE CROCHETS! How cool is that??
Single Crochet V Stitch
I’m willing to bet you didn’t know there was a crochet V stitch that used single crochets instead of double crochets. Let me know in a comment below if this stitch is new to you or if you’ve used it before (and in what type of project).
I don’t know why the single crochet V stitch isn’t used very often. It results in a gorgeous, super textured stitch that can be used in so many projects from wearables to home decor.
This was the first time I used the sc V stitch and I’m looking forward to using it a lot more! It is so easy, yet so interesting.
