Crochet Video Tutorial: Learn how to Crochet the V stitch (aka Rope st)

New Crochet Stitch Pattern....Rope (the V-st) 

This beginner level crochet stitch is called the Rope stitch. I guess you could call it a V-stitch. It drapes nicely. You can turn this stitch pattern into anything. You could make a blanket because of how thick the pattern is or use it for a scarf/neckwarmer/bolero.  Using a soft yarn would help a lot. I used Michaels "Loop and Threads" yarn. Gold color.
