Letter V
A bold capital V built from filet blocks and scaled up for clarity, the building block of any monogram or custom word. Stitch it as a single initial or spell out Violet, Victor, or Vera across a project. Open it in the editor to adjust the letter spacing, add a surrounding frame, or set it over two rows, then export a PNG or print the chart sized to your gauge.

Perfect for
Skill level: easy
Comfortable for an advancing beginner. The shaping asks for a little attention, but the chart stays clear and easy to recover from if you lose your place.
Yarn and hook
Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine Letter V panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. Traditional filet is a single colour, which keeps the block-and-mesh contrast readable, but you can always work the background in a second shade.
Project ideas
Reach for the Letter V when you want a wedding keepsake. It looks at home on a personalised wall hanging and a name blanket alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a couple, the Letter V suits a milestone beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 4.5-by-5.5-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
