V-st
V-stitch |
 |
A V-Stitch is actually a group of stitches
that looks like a "V" (an open triangle)
(dc, ch 1, dc) is a common example
Please see the tutorial in Special Stitches for more
information. |
X-st
X-stitch |
 |
To work the X-stitch, you skip a stitch, double crochet
in the next stitch, then, crossing in front of the stitch you just made,
work a double crochet.
Another option is to go behind the stitch made, to work a
back x-stitch.
Please see the tutorial in Special
Stitches for more information. |
x times (multiple)
method of figuring number of chains for foundation chain |
ex. multiple of 3 + 1
(3 x 8) = 24 + 1 = 25
You would make 25 chains |
multiply the multiple by another number to get
the number of stitches you need to make on your foundation chain |

Y-st
Y-stitch |
|
I just found this stitch and thought it was cute. The way
it is made is that you work a treble (triple crochet), ch 1, and work a
double crochet around the post of the treble, creating the Y shape. On
succeeding rows, you can make your Y's in the ch-1 from this row if desired. |

a wooden "tree" to hold many skeins of yarn
Here are
instructions I found on how to build your own yarn tree. Mine was made

yarn should sit behind hook, bring yarn over
hook (from back to top) |
|
yo-yos |

make a ring (use either adjustable ring OR
chain 4 or 5 and join with a slip stitch),
ch 2 or 3, work 15 more dcs in center of your ring, join with a slip stitch
and weave in ends. |
