How to Crochet the Flying V-Stitch

Have you ever felt so inspired by something? That’s how I feel about nature. It is one of my biggest inspirations! Read more to find out my inspiration for this stitch, and of course learn how to crochet the flying v-stitch!

When you hear “Flying V-Stitch” what does it make you think of? I hope it brings to mind the only v’s that fly—birds! That’s right, this stitch was inspired by the beautiful v formation that migrating birds fly in!

We will use regular v-stitches, along with some front post stitches to create the neat V effect you see in this stitch. 🙂

If you want an easily printable version of this pattern, there is another option, and it comes with more stitch patterns! The PDF version of this stitch pattern includes all the others in September—it can be found HERE. This PDF is inexpensive and ad-free.

Also, in case you haven’t heard…this stitch is apart of the Desert Blossom Stitch Along, which is running throughout all of 2019! We are more than halfway through the year, but you can still jump in now if you’d like to!
