Crochet Chevron Blanket

Crochet an easy Chevron Blanket! For this blanket I am using beautiful shades of Bernat Super Value in Royal Blue, Peacock Blue, Cool Blue, and White to create a look of waves. I will be adding my OCEAN FRIEND APPLIQUES to the blanket when it is finished.
As you can see, the chevron works like a zig-zag line that is made up of peaks (points) and valleys (dips). I am using 3 DC for the increase (peaks) and a SC Decrease over 3 stitches for the valleys (the dips). Then all you need to do is make a SC in the 4 stitches between each peak and valley. You will get the hang of it by the second row!
Feel free to make the blanket as small or large as you'd like!
You will work is multiples of 12 +2
The blanket I am working on has a starting chain of 110 (12 x9 = 108 +2 = 110) and is about 24 inches wide. This is a small blanket so feel free to go larger! Use a starting chain fo 122, 134, 158, 170, 182, 194, 206, etc.

Out of all the patterns I’ve tried today this is the only one I completely understand and it’s actually easy for me to follow along . Can’t wait to see how moly blanket comes out.

[@OneRareCrayon]

I see you made this question when on each round is it not exactly the same spot maybe 1 before 1 after due to adding stitches at end? Tried to get person who posted attention but no response. Thank You!

[@kayjs10]

This was the easiest chevron blanket tutorial I found. Thanks so much!

[@bella9596]

Please help me I don't know how to do the ends, I always come out with 1 less chain then I need

[@georgiabutka3770]

​@@bella9596 on her website repeat crafter me there's the written pattern it's called easy Chevron. it's a multiple of 12 plus 2 and she list different sizes. Always skip the first stitch of every row.

[@laurasaravo1412]

Absolutely! I don't know if it's because I've learned so much in this past year or two but I really like this lady!❤

[@juliabourque1825]

I learn visually and find that your hands are moving too fast for me, making it difficult to get a clear picture of what you are doing. I'm going to try this beautiful pattern as I want short peaks and valleys so I slowed the speed of the video down but because of the speed your hands are moving, it makes it blurry a bit. But I finally got it. Thanks for the tutorial. I appreciate it.

[@Tanacarroll]

Remember folks that you can always speed any video down that goes too fast for you. Touch the gear icon in the upper right hand corner of the video. It says playback speed. Click on that and slow it down ever how slow you may need it to be. 😊

[@lonnadoughten22]

I'm pretty sure she did. But thanks for the rest of us!

[@methatlovescats3602]

Why are you wrapping it 2 times

[@MaxnIrma]

I agree. I just watched the video to learn how to make the chevron Afghan and it is too fast to keep up with. Moving way too fast! Needs slowed down.

[@Tanacarroll]

@@MaxnIrmaYeah, her hands and fingers are all over the stitch. Weird.

[@larryngriffith1820]

Wow, this is SO pretty! I love the stitch pattern and the colors are beautiful. I'm going to try this. Thank you for sharing it!

[@cassandragraham4419]

Thanks for the tutorial. I have been crocheting for about 50-52 years and never made this stitch but I will now. Truly appreciated

[@pkhurley02]

I just started crocheting and have been trying to find a chevron/ripple pattern that isn’t too deep of a spike and this is absolutely perfect!!! Thanks for sharing your craft with us!

[@sammulder1277]

Thank you for this pattern. I have seen several but this is the best one. It’s very much like the pattern my mom taught me many many years ago which I forgot. Thanks again.

[@friemeltjefriemel1451]

Thank you for sharing. 7 min of your video was enough to finally master this stitch. 🙌🏻

[@traciperdue]

Thanks so much for actually making me understand doing this. Have a great day.❤

[@BobbieJoe6051]

I like your zigzag pattern. I've been watching other video's and they tell you to skip 2 spaces in the decrease. I'm going to try it the way you have shown. I also appreciate that you did several rows. The repetition has helped me to memorize the steps.

[@cindym5409]

I also learn visually and I loved this video. Perfect instructions!❤

[@delaa6723]

This pattern was very easy to follow with your teaching skills. Thank you for sharing your gift with me.

I can't wait to make this my mom made 2 for me years ago that are so worn now and I have been searching for a pattern similar to it. Yours is the first that I have found that is most like it. Thank you for telling us where you got your hook from in the video!

[@elaineprice7870]

I thank you for this tutorial on this pattern. My mom used to do this and I couldn't remember how to do it. Thank you. 😀

[@louisebenson4275]

I am just beginning this blanket for my granddaughter. So much fun with the creatures! I just created a nice octopus to add to it. I used your sc, ch1, slot on the tentacles to give them bumps. Thanks for the great videos.

[@Ms12pm]

Great tutorial. Th❤nk you!

[@Ash0887]

Thanks for sharing! I am sold on this exact pattern for my grandsons birthday blanket. I've started a 146 chain for the 4th time now. I went to your website also. I noticed that in the written description of this video and also on your website description for this pattern, they both say that you are using 3DC for the increase (peaks). Luckily for me I payed more attention to this video instead of the written description. I was, however, very confused at first..I think I finally got it and I'm on the 6th row. Pray for me to get it right all the way through. I don't want this to be the project that forces me to throw in the towel lol

[@carabingham3207]

This is lovely. I have seen many tutorials that use the double crotchet for the chevron stitch but I always find that a bit too gappy. So I will definitely try this one

[@ElTiano21]

Damn girl! You crochet super fast, it’s almost like the needle becomes invisible when you move it around to make a stitch.

[@52188972]

I tried making a small sample of this stich using 26 and 38 stiches but for the life of me, would always end up at the end of the row without enough stitches to complete the last dip/up

[@carolmorris1292]

Same!!

[@georgiabutka3770]

[@kats.4450]

Hi! I noticed your description has a typo. It says you're using 3 DC for the increases instead of 3 SC. I love your patterns, though! Please keep creating!! 🧶

[@erincostante8694]

Yes!! Caught that too. I dont think she reads comments tho

[@Mrs.J15]

How many rows did you end up doing? I’m thinking of changing the color pattern but I don’t want it to be off.

[@Orchid93090]

where is your hoook from ? i love that handle on it! am excited to make my own chevron blanket!!

[@lesleyrose4115]

Is it possible to increase the number of stitches between peaks and valleys? If so any tips about the calculation for that?

[@clsmith614]

I was wondering the same thing. Did you figure it out? TIA

I really like your patterns i just have 1 request.Can you please slow down a little.

[@moocow2oo426]

I finally got to the end of the first row and I think I messed up. I wanted to make a huge blanket like this but I'm not sure I get exactly where to put the stitches.

[@OneRareCrayon]

i have been same way when turning you got it 1 stitch early from marker due to 2 extra stitches at each end!

[@mollyhe74]

Hi, I am on my second row. This is the first time doing this stitch. I am working on the top of the chain should I be working into the chain? It looks like you are working into instead of top of.

If you want to make a blanket, how do you determine the amount of yarn needed? I want to make one for a king size bed and am very confused as to the weight of yarn I should use and the amount to purchase. Thank you

[@DerricksBabyGirl1985]

Do you have a way to make straight edges so that it will be square to add a border to it

[@Hutchinskp]

Can this be done with double Crochet, and how do you make sharper peaks and valleys

[@sarahbennett9653]

How would you add a border to this blanket? I made like a little too narrow and would like to add a boarder to make it a bit wider, but not sure how, and I can’t find a tutorial that works for this particular pattern

[@raejohnson9930]

I have started this pattern 5 times now and I have gone up a size in hooks but find it doesn’t want to sit flat - it is like a spring and wants to curl up. Does it get better once it gets bigger with more weight?

Can I use aranweight yarn for this? Woukd the chain amount still be the same? Xx

Im doing it but its not as neat as yours . Ive started with 12 chains plus 2 . Does that mean each 12 chains you add two or just add 2 at the end ?

[@dianeboit4319]

n the beginning 110 ... what size Afghan is this going to be? Also you're working in multiples of 12 + 2... why is there 2?

[@mjmartinez07mm]

I was just wondering if you could make a slower video of this same pattern

[@lindasyarnbarn5176]

Crochet Crowd has an awesome video.

[@clsmith614]

you can always slow down the playback speed on any video. Just go into the settings on the video and adjust to your liking, always remember to reset it back to normal playback speed when done or all your videos will play at that speed and you'll wonder what's wrong lol

[@lisahill6817]

Yes she is going way too fast for someone to follow her, especially if someone is just beginning to crochet.

[@rebeccalong7285]

Does the back of this blanket look different from the front? I swear I followed exactly but have bumps where the colors intersect

[@clsmith614]

Were you able to get this figured out? I am getting ready to start making one as soon as my yarn haul arrives. Can't wait either.

[@emily.d.robles]

Will this same pattern work if I do it in double crochets? Has anyone tried it with doubles?

[@carmendriggs1965]

Why are my peaks not lining up? Should the 3sc be in the middle sc of the previous row?

[@georgiabutka3770]

yes! And always skip the first stitch of every row then in the second stitch put **2 single crochet, *single crochet in next 4 stitches, single crochet decrease over next 3 stitches, single crochet in next 4 stitches, 3 single crochet in next Stitch repeat from* across in last stitch put 3 single crochet chain 1 then turn. Repeat from ** hope this helps!

[@rebeccagolfs]

You are so sweet and adorable. Thanks 😊

[@astro17165]

How would you change the multiple if you wanted bigger chevrons ?

[@chickenalpaca0332]

Do you mean bigger peaks and valleys? I haven't tried it myself but I'd imagine you just multiply 12 by how much bigger you want them and multiply the number of sc by the same number. So like if you wanted them twice as big you'd make the starting chain in multiples of 24 + 2 and you'd do 8 sc in between the increase and decreases

[@astro17165]

More stitches between I’m been messing with the count and it seems to work is you just count it out as number of stitches between and the 1 or 3 chains so say you wanted a chevron with 8 up to peak and 8 to the valley. You would chain 20 for one peak and valley set

[@bertheibrider6091]

[@kellyj9111]

Update: it’s now 3:30 am and I have attempted this pattern 5 times, unraveled, and have followed the instructions to a T, WITH her, and it’s not working at all. I do not remember my grandmother or mother having this much trouble on a chevron pattern, and I definitely don’t remember having to count each stitch. Every time I try this pattern, it’s perfect in the center, but ends up uneven on one or both sides. This is NO fun, and I’m done with this pattern. Never again. 😡 Everyone who actually has this work out like it’s supposed to must be a witch or a unicorn or something. I don’t have the magic and it p*sses me off to no end. I’m not a beginner at all, and have literally spent all of today trying to make this design. I haven’t been able to find a pattern or tutorial that doesn’t make me want to pull my hair out, and I am beyond frustrated that I have wasted an entire day and literally have nothing to show for it, because I unraveled everything. Thank you for this video-it’s not too fast for me and you don’t spend 10 mins talking about the yarn. Lol The only thing I would change is to not match the hook to the yarn color. It was a bit hard for me to differentiate without contrasting colors. Other than that, I feel I may be able to accomplish making something with the help of this video. If not, may heaven hear me, that I’ll never do this pattern again. Today was miserable. Lol

[@jackierodriguez7457]

My projects always curl up😔 before I start this and end up wasting time and yarn bc it curls up, how can I stop it from curling?

[@clsmith614]

did you figure things out? you may need to keep notice of your tension or if your counting is right and your tension is equal across all stitches then you can safely block your blanket after you're finished and that may be what's needed to relax the blanket overall.
