The double v stitch is an easy stitch to learn because it is just double crochet stitches arranged in a particular order and placement.
So, this is a great stitch for beginners to use once you have learned the double crochet stitch.
The double v works up pretty quickly since it is tall and spaced out a bit. So this is a great one to add to projects to give it a little variety.
