Inverted Y Stitch - Beginner Tutorial

Inverted Y Stitch

Pattern Print    Video

Hey there, crochet adventurers! Ready to flip your stitches upside down? Let's dive into the world of the Inverted Y Stitch – a fun twist on the classic Y stitch that'll add some topsy-turvy texture to your projects!

The Inverted Y Stitch, sometimes called the Upside-Down Y or Reverse Y, is like the rebellious cousin of the regular Y stitch. Instead of branching upwards, this stitch splits downwards, creating a unique, inverted Y shape in your work. While it doesn't have a standard abbreviation, you might see it referred to as "Inv-Y" or "Rev-Y" in some patterns.

So, why should you give this upside-down wonder a try? Well, it's all about adding unexpected depth and interest to your crochet. The Inverted Y Stitch creates a fascinating, almost sculptural texture that can transform a plain project into a conversation piece. It's perfect for adding a modern twist to traditional items like scarves, blankets, or even statement wall hangings.

Stick around for our video tutorial and step-by-step guide. We'll show you how to turn your crochet world upside down with this cool, quirky stitch. Get ready to invert your expectations and create some truly eye-catching fabric!

Materials Needed

  • Yarn: The recommended is 5 mm yarn. The reason why we chose this thick yarn is to make teaching easier. For beginners practicing, thicker yarn is also recommended.
  • Hook: To match 5 mm yarn, a 6 mm hook is the best pairing.

 

Preparation

Step 1

Step 1. Begin by crocheting a row of single crochets.

Step 2

Step 2. Chain 5. This is where our Inverted Y stitch demonstration begins.

 

How to Inverted Y Stitch – Step by Step for Beginners

Step 1

Step 1. Yarn over twice, then insert your hook into the third stitch.

Step 2

Step 2. Yarn over and pull through the stitch.

Step 3

Step 3. Yarn over again and pull through the first two loops. You now have 3 loops on your hook.

Step 4

Step 4. Yarn over once more, skip one stitch, and insert your hook into the next stitch.

Step 5

Step 5. Yarn over and pull through. You now have 5 loops on your hook.

Step 6

Step 6. Yarn over and pull through two loops.

Step 7

Step 7. Yarn over and pull through two loops again. Step 8

step 8

Step 8. Continue yarning over and pulling through two loops until you have only one loop left on your hook.

You've completed one Inverted Y stitch!
