[@tinapeters2900]

Thanks for this tutorial. It took me several tries to get it right, but I finally did. After completing 20 rows I can now identify if I've made a mistake each time I start a peak or valley. This keeps me from tearing out an entire row by addressing the issue sooner.

[@AmandaCrochets]

You’re very welcome! I’m glad you’re finding it easier to make the chevron. Definitely one of my favorites 😊

[@tamaramartin8588]

13:48 Thank you so much! It was especially helpful to me when you pointed out that my increase should always be in the second and then the first double crochet of the “V’s”, and then I’ll know I’m still on the right track. That prevented a lot of errors as I learned. 😊😊😊

[@AmandaCrochets]

I’m so glad that helped! I know chevron patterns can be tricky, so I really wanted to point this out, so others can see exactly where to put their stitches 🧶

[@supertatertot97]

Just finished this as my first blanket project! (Typically I do amigurumi) I’ve attempted blankets before but never finished them. I got this one finished in about 3 weeks and made it a 40x40ish square. I did 7 thicker sections with 6 rows and did a thinner section between each thick sections with 3 rows. And added 13 chains in the beginning. It’s lovely and I can’t wait to gift it at a baby shower in February with a matching amigurumi dinosaur!

[@AmandaCrochets]

That’s awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed making this blanket! I’m sure it’ll be a big hit at the baby shower 😊

[@cannedham3979]

I bought this pattern in your Etsy shop. Working with the pattern & tutorial I was able to recognize certain stitches to fix problems earlier & earlier. It is by far the easiest pattern I’ve tried for a Chevron afghan. The other patterns went into a box. Thank you for the easy to understand pattern and the tutorial to go along!!

[@AmandaCrochets]

I am so happy to hear that this chevron pattern was easy for you to understand. I tried to go slow and make it easy to follow along as I know chevrons can be tricky. I just made another chevron blanket (Fall Throw Blanket) that I think you will enjoy as well. That's an even easier ripple blanket! Enjoy and thanks for your support :) :)

[@janetmaxwell9313]

Your instructions and calming voice are very easy to follow. Just made my first ripple baby blanket in pink, linen, pink/brown variegated, off white, and green gremlin. It reminds me of succulents. Now I just need to find someone to give it to! Thanks !

Very good tutorial. This is the first time I'm doing a ripple. I do Irish knitting and crochet but this simple pattern was stumping me on the decreases. You made it easy to understand. I'm using brick red and gold and making a Winnie the Pooh color car seat cover.

[@AmandaCrochets]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you my tutorial helped you with the decreases. I'm sure your car seat cover will turn out adorable :)

[@empressnkzoo]

My advice. I used markers at every 12 stitches. I used the same color markers. On the last section, I use a different color marker. So I know where I am when I am working along. I also used a different color for the marker on the last plus 3. So i where to start the rows. I know it seems like alot to do. But it doesn't take long. And if there is a mis-count, I can count the sections. Instead of hundreds of stitches.

[@AmandaCrochets]

That’s an excellent idea to help beginners!

[@empressnkzoo]

@@AmandaCrochets I am doing crochet a few years. I have marked my stitches after I kept loosing stitches. But with this pattern the count is so important! I do the same for my corner to corner too. I'm glad this tip will help others.

This is so beautiful. I am making this blanket. It’s my first blanket. All cream. After many rows I went back and watch the tutorial again and I hadn’t been putting the two double crochets at the end of the row so my was wavy so I removed some rows. Is that why it was wider and wavy ? I’m an advanced beginner.

[@AmandaCrochets]

Thank you! Yes, chevrons can be tricky at first. It’s super important to make sure your stitches are in the proper places, otherwise your blanket will come out wavy. It’s possible you were adding extra stitches or maybe your tension was lose in some spots and tighter in others. This will even out over time. Keep at it! 😊

I really like this pattern but not a fan of the ch3 method , i prefer the alt turning chain to avoid gaps. So instead of ch3, I just do the alt in that first stitch and the 1st DC, so it still works and gives me my no gap edge!

[@AmandaCrochets]

[@juliapearce4380]

Amanda, I love your tutorials , but have a wish. When I watch all the tutorials on chevron or ripple , i would love for some one to mention how much space the chevrons take. If I measure my chain , I definitely can’t say that’s how wide my blanket will be. Hopefully you understand my meager explanation.

[@AmandaCrochets]

I understand what you’re saying. When making chevrons, your initial chain will look a little smaller as you have to remember the peaks and valleys of the chevron stitch. It’s best to make a chain a little longer than normal to get the width you like. For this particular blanket, each chevron measured from one peak to the next is 4 inches wide. Hope that helps!

[@niinariikonen4806]

I started this a few days ago and I am making it in the colors of the rainbow! I started with red and am now continuing with orange, then I think I will do yellow-green-blue-violet-blue-green-yellow-orange-red and then do a white border all around it. I bought a pretty thin yarn and I am working with a 3.5 hook, so this is going to take a while :D One row is exactly 1cm tall and I accidentally made this 110cm wide, so I need to do a lot of rows since I want it to be longer than it is wide

[@AmandaCrochets]

That sounds like such a pretty blanket! I love the idea of adding a white border to really make the colors pop. There are so many possibilities out there for color options!

[@mirandliz]

having problem with this pattern the third row was 119 stitches i was following the 99 st gray blanket, is it suppose to increase stitches until the end i dont get even stitches at the end

[@AmandaCrochets]

To help keep your ends straight, you should use a stitch marker in the very first stitch (chain 3) and the very last stitch (dc). You should have 3 dcs in between your increase and decrease sections. However if your ends aren’t straight, it’s possible you’re adding stitches to the end of your blanket.

[@tobytriplett9328]

Thank you so much, it looks like a great pattern! I’m only on row 4 or so right now, but I have a pretty important question: if we’re increasing each row, won’t it be shaped like a cone in the end? At first, I only had 4 stitches from end to the first 2x dc into one st, but on row 4 I’ve got 8 stitches between the end and the first 2xdc. Help!

[@AmandaCrochets]

It seems like you’re increasing too many stitches. For each row you will be working the two decrease stitches on top of the decreases from the previous row. The same thing with the increases. They should stack on top of one another. You should only have 3 stitches in between your increases and decreases.

[@tobytriplett9328]

I had used a base 22 for some reason, rather than 24. After I fixed that, everything fell into place. I don’t know where I got 22! Lol

[@laurasscorpio4061]

Does ut make a difference on the turns if you chain 3 and turn OR turn and then chain 3? I fo bd it hard to see where my last stitch of the row is supposed to be and sometimes end up doing it I the chain 🙁

[@AmandaCrochets]

I don’t think it matters. I’ve seen it done both ways. I like to chain before I turn my work. You can put stitch markers in the very first and very last stitch of each row to help keep your ends straight and know where to insert your hook.

[@josieburton3251]

I still can't get the way you do the decrease and increase. I've made ripples before but totally diff for them. Too fast for me.

[@AmandaCrochets]

I’m sorry you’re not understanding the stitch. The best advice I can give is keep trying as chevrons can be difficult for many crocheters as there are many ways to make them. Another suggestion is to count your stitches so you don’t miss anything. Good luck!

[@sabrinamohabir8986]

Hi!!! I love your tutorial... working on a blanket now. But i have a question. After you've done the first row... can you not just do double crochet in every sritch after that? Just curious 🤔 👀

[@AmandaCrochets]

Hello! If you do not have the decrease sections and increase sections your pattern will not come out right.

[@marinagamus3688]

Thank You, I've attempted to crochet the blanket following your instructions and it jept turning too big, do i need to make increases in the beginning and the end of each row or did i miss when to stoo increasing, i am so frustrated, please advise. Tgank You in advance

[@AmandaCrochets]

For the beginning of each row you will have a chain 3 and 1 double crochet. For the end, you will have 2 double crochets. It seems like you might be adding too many stitches. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I’m going to have a go🤞🏻 can I ask, if I want to make the foundation chain longer, how can I do this? Because of all of the different stitches and skip a few etc, how would I carry it on? I’m autistic so feel free to explain it like I’m a child🙈😂

[@AmandaCrochets]

You’re welcome! So to change the sizing of the chain, you need to work in multiples of 12, so 12,24,36, etc. Once you have the length you want, add 3 chains to the very end to keep everything in balance. Hope that helps!

I have finished the first six rows and notice the blanket so far does not lay quite flat. It has a slight ripple. Do you think this could be from the starting chain stitches being somewhat tighter than the following rows? Or something else? This is such a good tutorial - thank you!

[@AmandaCrochets]

Yes, it’s possible that your tension is a little tighter. For the starting chain, you can always go up a hook size to make it a little more loose. Hopefully that does the trick 😉

Love this pattern but how is the best way to finish it? And then do you just tuck in the strings at the end?

[@AmandaCrochets]

To finish the blanket, you will weave in your ends with a tapestry needle. I usually go back and forth a few times to really secure it. Then I cut off the the yarn and you’re good to go.

My first row was perfect then did 3ch turned dc in first one with ch. then dc in next 3, dc2tog 4 together, dc in next 3, 2x dc in next 2, dc in next 3 all the way to the end. But after my last dc2tog I’ve only got 2 stitches left to go into not 4. No idea when I’ve gone wrong Where you say the first increase should be in the 2nd part of the first one below mine was that all the way along so can’t make sense of it

[@AmandaCrochets]

For chevrons, basically you will mimic whatever you did in the first row. It's possible you missed a stitch in between somewhere on your second row. When you're doing your increase stitches, the increases should be in the two inner double crochets of the increase from the previous row. I hope that makes sense! Chevrons can be very tricky, so just be patient and remember to count those stitches.

[@magdalenarodriguez7565]

Help! I changed 99 but end up with two extra changes. Thx

[@AmandaCrochets]

It’s possible you skipped some stitches. I would make sure you have 3 double crochets in between your increases and decreases.

[@annmariemoore225]

At the end of every row should I end with 3 dc in the 3 stitches and then the 2 dc in the last stitch of each row and then turn? If I don't have that I have screwed something up?

[@AmandaCrochets]

At the end of each row, you will have 4 stitches left (after your decrease stitch). You will work 1dc in each of the 3 stitches and work 2dcs in the final stitch. Then you will chain 3 (counts as a dc) and will make 1dc in the very first stitch of the row. Hope that helps!

@@AmandaCrochets Thank you for the tutorial, I have gotten it figured out! It is working very well, I love the stitch!!!

[@AmandaCrochets]

@@annmariemoore225 oh I'm so happy it's working out for you! Happy crocheting!

[@lindaevans9682]

can I make throw blanket instead of baby blanket?

[@AmandaCrochets]

Yes, of course!

[@jackiekelly7002]

Is it ALWAYS 2 dbl at the end of a row in the chain 3?

[@AmandaCrochets]

The chain 3 counts as your first dbl crochet, so you will only make 1 dbl crochet.

[@joannebachynski5431]

Hi Amanda I am re learning how to crochet. I love your videos. I am wondering how many repeats of the pattern did you get to the end of the row? So that I can understand the pattern better as I am trying to write the pattern out to help me understand the process better. Thank you for your help. Joanne Bachynski

[@AmandaCrochets]

Hi Joanne, for my blanket I did 12x8=96 and added 3 more chains for a total of 99.

[@rachelkirchmeyer5815]

I'm am really enjoying making this blanket, but the whole thing is turning into a ring not straight waves. What am I doing wrong?

[@AmandaCrochets]

It’s possible you’re either skipping stitches or adding too many stitches to your blanket. I suggest starting off with a small swatch first to practice before committing to a bigger project. Hope that helps!

[@andysjr91]

I ended with the 2 decreases on row 1 instead of the 3 double crochet. For the last chain should I still increase? I'm using light 3 yarn and chained 123

[@AmandaCrochets]

It looks like you might have missed a stitch or two along the way. I would start over to make sure you get the count correct. Otherwise your blanket will be out of balance.

[@thegirlinyellowveil]

Loved your tutorial and I’m starting it tomorrow but I have a quick question how do you end the last row to make it look square ??

[@AmandaCrochets]

I have a separate video on how to straighten the edges. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naOtfYlsrdqYnZo

[@marikoishida9729]

I love this pattern and very easy to understand...thank you very much... am going to make one with a much thinner yarn will I need to increase the 3 double crochet in each stitch to maybe 6 or 9 before the increase and decrease...or should I just follow yours with 3.

[@AmandaCrochets]

That sounds great! The pattern repeat is 12+3. This means you will multiple any number by 12 to get your width. Once satisfied, you will add 3 chains to the very end to keep things in balance. As long as you follow this, you can use any weight yarn you'd like!
