Chaos Crochet Challenge- Picot and Large V Stitch

BySusan Myers on crochet

Welcome to the Chaos Challenge Crochet Along—where the spinning wheel is in charge and anything can happen!

What is a Chaos Blanket? Instead of carefully planning every row, we’ll let chance choose the yarn color, crochet stitch, and number of rows. No overthinking, no second-guessing—just spin the wheel and see where it takes us!

I’m creating my own Chaos Blanket using a special set of rules, and you’re invited to join the fun. Grab your yarn and crochet hook—it’s time to embrace the chaos and create something completely unique!

Are you brave enough to let the wheel decide?

Want to join along?  Gather your supplies and join me on Mondays and Thursdays beginning September 21, 2026.  I will be posting instructions and links to instructional videos for each stitch as we choose them.  Sound like fun? I will be posting each round here on my website, in my Facebook Group, Facebook Page, and on Instagram!  Follow my social media or come back here each week and join in on the fun!

Round Six

I began round one with a spin of the wheel to choose which of the 50 stitches would be used for round six.  You can download the free Crochet Stitch list HERE. Chaos Crochet Stitches. I used the Free Spinning Wheel Random Number Generator that I found here to choose which stitch.

The spinning wheel chose number 43.  The stitch I will be using for this round is called the Picot and Large V Stitch! This stitch looks best with 2 colors, so I closed my eyes and chose the colors from my bowl of yarn colors…It is now decided!  Round six will be in Glacier and Clover, the stitch will be the Picot and Large V Stitch and I rolled dice for the number of rows and it will be 10 rows!  Let’s get started!

Adjustment Row

Before we begin round six, we need to make an adjustment row from the previous Chevron round.  I used the Clover yarn to create a row of single crochets, half double crochets and double crochets along the chevron edge to create and even border to begin round six.  Do sc in the peaks, dc in the valleys and half double crochets in between.  Also be sure to count your stitches during this row to be sure that you still have your original amount of stitches.

Picot and Large V Stitch

The Picot and Large V Stitch is a beautiful textured look that works great with two colors.  I needed to lower my crochet hook size in this round to avoid a wavy blanket.  If you need to go a crochet hook size lower depending upon your tension, then do that.  We are trying to keep the edges as even as we can and sometimes it helps to raise or lower the size of your hook depending upon the stitch. 

Step-by-Step Instructions for the Picot and Large V Stitch
If you prefer video, I was able to find videos for each of the stitches used in this pattern:

Row 3: Work 1 sc in the first stitch and 1 sc in the second stitch. *Chain 3. Work 1 sc in each of the next 3 stitches. Repeat from *across until you reach last two stitches.  Chain 3 and then sc in each of the last 2 stitches.  Change yarn color.  Chain 4 and turn.
Row 4: Work 1 treble crochet (tc) in the first stitch. *Skip the next single crochet, the chain three, and the next single crochet and make a treble crochet in the next stitch. (in the valley between the picots). Chain 1.  Work another tc into the same stitch.  Repeat from *across. At end of the row, make 2 tc in the last stitch. Chain 1 and turn.
Row 5: Work a sc into each of the first 3 stitches. *Work a sc into the chain 1 space. Work a sc into each of the next 2 stitches. Repeat from *across. Change color, Chain 2 and turn.
Rows 6-10: Repeat rows 1-5.
(Adjustment Row) We will make an adjustment row in the next round using the color of the next round.  (Stay tuned)!

Picot and Large V Stitch

I enjoyed creating the Picot and Large V Stitch.  It looks great with the two color option.  The only issue I had was that it works up loosely and I had to go down a size in crochet hook so that my blanket would not be wavy.

Be sure to come back on Monday, October 12 for Round 7!
