Then, single crochet in each chain going across, starting with the second chain from the hook. When you reach the end, chain 2 and turn. This will give us a solid foundation to work our V-Stitches in.
See how both dc are inside the same stitch?
Now, to continue across, skip 2 sc, then repeat our “V,” skip 2 sc, and repeat again. You don’t need to chain between V-Stitches, just go from one right into the next one. So you’ll be doing this:
dc, ch 1, dc, skip 2 sc, dc, ch 1, dc, and so on
When you get to the end, skip 1 sc and do a dc in the chain 2 spot.
As you keep going, your piece will get longer and longer, like this, and will have that open, lacy look! What do you think?
I’d love to hear how it goes for you if you try this stitch! And I still want to see pictures of your coffee cozies too! Tag me on FB, Instagram, or Twitter when you share your photos, or email them to me at dancers4life{at}gmail{dot}com!

I love the look of v-stitches. I have a fun bag I crocheted that uses v-stitches for most of the body. It gives such a lacy, open look.
