This easy crochet stitch makes a lovely blanket or wrap, or even a cardigan or other garment. It’s super easy to crochet and to memorize, making it perfect for traveling. Learn how to crochet this versatile crochet stitch pattern with a written pattern, row by row photos, step by step video tutorial, and a crochet chart or stitch diagram. Grab your hook and get creating!

For this tutorial I’ve changed color every row. When I used this stitch in Section 13 of the Suzie’s Stiped Sampler Blanket CAL, I changed colors every row as well.

Alternating V Stitch Written Instructions with Photos

The Alternating V Stitch is worked over a multiple of 3 plus 1 stitches. For the video and chart in this tutorial I started with a base of 25 single crochet. The stitch pattern begins with row 2. I’ve also included a finishing row to end your swatch with a row of single crochet. The first and last rows of single crochet are simply to neaten up the top and bottom of your swatch if you want to keep it for future reference. I like to staple mine to an index card with the name of the pattern on it.
