How to Crochet the Half Double V Stitch

The half double v stitch is a lovely stitch that works up quickly and easily.

It is similar to the spider stitch, but is a little more dense and the stitch pattern is easier to see.

The half double v is worked in half double stitches, of course! Plus, we throw in some chains to give us the little repeating clusters.

This one will give a little more drape than a regular half double fabric and the stitch definition give it some texture and flair.

So, let’s get started learning how to crochet the half double v stitch.

Techniques and Abbreviations Used:

Work in multiples of 2 and add 2 for the foundation chain.

Row 2: Ch 2, skip next two sts and work 1 hdv in first ch space and each ch space across to end, 1 hdc in turning ch, turn.
