Offset V-Stitch Crochet Stitch Photo Tutorial

While designing one of my projects, I wanted a light and lacy stitch for a lighter warmer weather option. I wanted an open stitch with a lot of drape for a flattering fit. I found the Offset V-Stitch and I love how it turned out!
I have always been a big fan of the V-stitch and have used it in many other projects. This V-stitch variation utilizes a unique stitch placement to create a completely different look.
