This beginner-friendly Crochet Letter V pattern uses a small set of basic stitches to create a flat letter appliqué. The instructions are written in US crochet terms, and a step-by-step video is available for visual guidance. With yellow cotton yarn, a 2.0 mm hook, and a few simple tools, you can make a decorative letter for crafts, gifts, or other projects.
The finished V can be used on its own or combined with crocheted letters to spell a name or short word. Try choosing a yarn color that suits your project, and keep your stitch tension consistent so the two sections of the letter look balanced.

Stitches and Abbreviations
- ch: chain stitch

Step-by-Step Crochet Letter V Pattern
Step 1: Make the first section
Start with 19 ch. Beginning in the second stitch from the hook, work 18 sc. Turn, make 1 ch, then work 1 ss and 17 sc. Turn again, make 1 ch, work 14 sc, sk 1, and finish with 1 ss.
Count your stitches as you go, especially after each turn. If you lose your place, pause and check the stitch sequence before continuing to the next part.
Step 2: Add the second section
Work 15 ch. Starting in the second stitch from the hook, work 15 sc, then 1 ss. Turn and work 15 sc. Turn once more, make 1 ch, and work 17 sc.
As you finish this section, check that the two arms of the V sit neatly together. Gentle handling helps keep the flat appliqué in shape while you prepare to weave in any loose ends.
Finishing and Color Ideas
The crochet letter V is now complete. Use the darning needle to secure and weave in the yarn ends. You can make the letter in another solid color or use multicolored yarn to coordinate it with a decoration or craft project. For a collection of letters, using the same yarn and hook for each one can help create a more consistent look.
