How to Crochet the Mesh & V-Stitch

The Mesh & V-Stitch alternates between two different rows, creating a playful result to your crochet projects. It’s a joy to crochet and wonderfully easy to master. You could use this stitch very well to make a scarf, a decorative table runner, or even a market tote.

In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through three rows. You can keep repeating rows 2 and 3 to continue your work. To start the Net & V stitch, chain a multiple of 2 plus 1 extra chain (an odd number of chains).
