The Waffle V Stitch is so easy and a wonderful one row repeat. It is full of texture and results in a nice and relatively stretchy fabric.
The design is the same on both sides which would make it a great stitch choice for those reversible. One thing to note is that, although other waffle stitches tend to create solid and dense fabrics, the Waffle V Stitch is not one of those stitches. The fabric does have lots of structure and stability, however is quite open and airy.

Notes:
This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial. You may work the stitch in one colour or many. I will be working the design in a solid colour.
To begin, make a slip knot and then chain your desired number of chains. For this stitch pattern you will need a multiple of five stitches for your foundation chain (multiples of 5).
For example, ch 25.
Row One:
Work 2 dc in the 6th ch from hook, ch 1, 2 dc in next ch, * skip the next 3 ch, 2 dc in next ch, ch 1, 2 dc in next ch; rep from * across until 3 ch remain, 1 dc in last ch, ch 3 (counts as a dc), turn.
Row Two:
Skip the next dc, * fpdc around next dc, v-st in the next ch-1 sp, fpdc around next dc, skip the next 2 dc; rep from * across, ending with skip the next dc, dc in the top of the turning ch. Ch 3 (Counts as a dc), turn.
Row Three:
Skip next dc, * fpdc around next dc, v-st in next ch-1 sp, fpdc around next dc, skip the next 2 dc; rep from * across, ending with skip next dc, dc in the top of your turning ch. Ch 3 (Counts as a dc), turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern simply repeat row three until you have reached the desired size. Fasten off and weave in your ends.
