V-Stripe Stitch Crochet Pattern Photo Tutorial

This is not an official crochet stitch but a stitch pattern or stitch combination that I stitched together one evening. It creates a slight lace pattern look.

The V-Stripe Stitch uses the chain, and double crochet to create this pretty 2-row repeat stitch.

Projects that would look lovely with this crochet stitch include: market bags, swimming suit cover ups, light scarves, shawls, light weight blankets.
