What Is the V Stitch in Crochet?
The V stitch is a classic crochet technique that creates a soft, open texture using double crochet stitches. It’s made by working two double crochets into the same stitch or space, skipping a stitch, and repeating across the row. The result is a beautiful “V” shape that adds interest and drape without being too airy — perfect for blankets.

Let’s Talk Yarn: Why Hue + Me Is a Great Choice
For this blanket, I used Hue + Me by Lion Brand, a bulky weight (#5) yarn that’s ideal for blankets and home décor. It’s soft, warm, and has just the right amount of bounce. With a stunning, modern color palette designed by Alexandra Tavel of Two of Wands, Hue + Me makes it easy to choose a look that fits your style.

That means no flipping back to the pattern or trying to remember what comes next. Just grab your yarn, put on your favorite show, and enjoy some relaxing, mindful stitching.
