Delta Lace and the Inverted V-stitch

Delta Lace is a lovely open mesh crochet design worked in V-stitches. 

I have three patterns now featuring this design element including my newest one for my Delta Lace Easter Egg!

I figure it was about time to make a photo tutorial for my method of forming the stitch!

There are several different variations, and I'm sure most form them 'right side up' like Hardy does at Haas Design. 

But for the patterns I have designed using this lace style, I build my V-stitches 'upside down'! 

The inverted V-st is a tr2tog, but with empty stitches in between forming an upside down V. It is formed by beginning a tr in the indicated stitch or space and working only until 2 loops remain on hook, skipping the desired number of stitches, and forming another tr, finishing off first tr also with the last yarn over.
Here are the full steps, and please see the photos below: 

Yo twice, insert hook in st or sp indicated in pattern, yo, draw up a loop, (yo, draw through 2 lps on hook) twice leaving 2 loops remaining on hook. Yo twice, skip number of sts inside as indicated in pattern, insert hook in next st, yo, draw up a loop, (yo, draw through 2 lps on hook) twice, yo and draw through remaining lps.
