Weekly Crochet Square: Squares 14 & 15

Yes... that's right... 14 and 15.
I admit it... I slacked.
I am working on catching up, though! I should be all caught up by next Friday. Yay!
Square 14 is a simple stitch with a slightly lacy effect. It is called a V-stitch, and it is made up of double crochets and a chain.
Square 15 is one that I think is really pretty. It it is a version of a cable stitch, made up of double crochet stitches with alternating rows of single crochet stitches.

V-Stitch Square
What You Need:
Size J crochet hook
worsted weight yarn (I used Red Heart in Lavender)

Special Stitch:
V-Stitch- a V-stitch is simply completed by working a double crochet, chain 1, double crochet (dc,ch 1, dc), all in the same stitch.

What You Do:
Chain 27
Row 1: V-stitch in the 5th ch from hook, [skip 1 stitch, v-stitch in the next stitch] repeat across. Work a dc in the last stitch. Turn.
Row 2: Ch 4, [v-stitch in the ch 1 space of the next v-st of the previous row, ch 1] repeat across. Work a dc in the third ch of the turning ch. Turn.
Rows 3-13: Repeat row 4.

Cable Stitch Square:
What You Need:
Size J crochet hook
worsted weight yarn (I used Red Heart in Lavender)

Special Stitch:
Cable Stitch- Skip one stitch, work a dc in each of the next three stitches, then go back to the skipped stitch and yarn over, insert hook from front  to back, loosely draw through a loop and bring it up to the top where the third dc is made, then complete the dc.

Chain 31
Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook, and in each across. Turn.
Row 2: Ch 3, [skip 1 sc, dc in each of the next 3 sc, dc in the skipped sc to complete the cable stitch] repeat across, dc in the last st. Turn.
