For a practice swatch, try making a chain of 18. This will allow you to see what the V-stitch looks like, and if you like it you can continue working it and create a V-stitch scarf. If you want to crochet a square of V-stitches, crochet a chain of 4 and connect the ends with a slipstitch. Then, crochet into the center of the circle to work the V-stitch in rounds rather than in rows. [4] X Research source
If you’re working V-stitches in the round, insert the hook into the center of the chain of 4 circle that you made when you work each double crochet stitch. Crochet 1 chain between each double crochet stitch and make a chain of 3 after each V. [6] X Research source
If you’re working in the round, crochet a total of 4 V-stitches into the center of the chain of 4 circle. Don’t crochet into the chains. [11] X Research source
Start every new row this way. The chain of 3 provides slack for turning your work without puckering the edge.
If you’re working in the round, the concept is the same. Crochet in between the V-stitch space from the previous round. [16] X Research source
If you’re working in the round, crochet 1 V-stitch into each of the chain 3 spaces you made in the previous round and then crochet a new chain of 3 after each of those V-stitches. [19] X Research source
If you’re working in the round, keep working into the V-stitch spaces and the new chain 3 spaces you created on the previous round. When you’re happy with the size of your square, you can add a border in single or half double crochet if desired. Simply single or half double crochet into all of the stitches on the edge of the square.
