Crochet Double V Stitch

Swatch of the crochet double v stitch

The crochet Double V Stitch is a simple, slightly open pattern made from pairs of double crochet stitches arranged into bold V-shaped groups. Instead of the usual two stitches that form a traditional V-stitch, this version doubles them up, creating fuller clusters with a much more defined appearance.

Small spaces between the groups keep the fabric light and flexible while allowing those chunky V shapes to stand out. Once the foundation row is complete, the same easy row is repeated throughout, making this a very easy stitch pattern to memorise.

About the Crochet Double V Stitch

The Double V Stitch can be thought of as a fuller variation of the classic crochet V stitch. Each main section contains four double crochet, worked as two double crochets into each of two consecutive stitches.

Two stitches are then skipped before beginning the next group. This combination creates distinct clusters separated by small open spaces rather than a completely solid fabric.

One of the nicest features of this stitch is its simplicity. After the first row establishes the pattern, every following row is worked the same way.

How to Crochet the Double V Stitch

Begin with a foundation ch in multiples of 4.

Row 1:

Row 2:

Ch 3, *sk the next 2 sts, 2dc in each of the next 2 sts, rep from * across until 2 sts remain, sk 1, dc in the 3rd ch of turning ch. Turn.

Rep row 2 for the stitch pattern.

What Does the Crochet Double V Stitch Look Like?

The finished fabric has clearly defined groups of double crochet stitches that resemble broad V shapes. Because four double crochets are used in each cluster, the pattern looks fuller and bolder than a standard V stitch.

The skipped stitches create little opening between the groups giving the fabric some breathing room without turning it into a very lacy stitch.

Is the Double V Stitch Beginner Friendly?

Yes. If you’re okay with making chains and double crochet stitches, the Double V Stitch is quite approachable.

The repeat is only four stitches wide and there are no complicated stitch combinations to learn. The main thing is to watch your stitch placement.
