Many vintage and contemporary crochet patterns make use of V stitches. There are bunches of different ways you could vary a V stitch to get different results. This introductory video shows you one possible way of approaching the V stitch.

In the video, Yvonne first demonstrates what a basic v stitch looks like. Then she incorporates basic vs into a stitch pattern that alternates with double crochet stitches.

Yvonne gives you a lesson in crocheting shells. The shell stitch pattern is beautiful when worked as a solid color, and it's also really eye-catching when each row is worked in alternating colors. Not only that, you can combine the shell stitch with other stitch patterns such as clusters.

Yvonne shows you how to crochet a cluster stitch. Crocheters often combine cluster stitches with shells or other stitches; there are many ways to use them.

Lucille demonstrates this complex, heavily textured crochet stitch that resembles crocodile scales. You'd better put on your "thinking caps" for this one, folks; it isn't the easiest stitch to wrap your head around, but the results sure are interesting.

If you haven't learned how to switch colors yet, it's time to unleash some color into your crochet world! Yvonne shows you exactly how to do it.

In almost every crochet pattern I write, I finish by instructing you to "weave in your ends." If you have no idea what that means, this video will explain it to you.

Even if you're an experienced crocheter, you may learn something by watching the video. For example, Yvonne's supply list for this task includes a needle threader; does yours? (Mine doesn't, but maybe it should.) Pretty clever, don't you think?

Yvonne shares insights on the topic of how to read a crochet pattern.
