The Xs and Vs Section combines two of my favorite stitch combinations, the crossed double crochet (also known as the x-stitch) and the v-stitch. Includes video tutorials.

This pattern is part of the Sectional Blanket Crochet Along, a mystery crochet along for a throw blanket crocheted in 7″ x 9″ (18 cm x 23 cm) sections, the size preferred by our charity partner, Warm Up America. New clues will be released on Fridays through December 16, 2022. Get more information on the Crochet Along and enter for your chance to win prizes here. Ravelry members can join us here to chat.
