I’m not quite finished with this Chevron Blanket but I wanted to go ahead and put a quick tutorial on how to crochet in a chevron pattern! It’s actually much easier than you think. Let me show you a simple technique that will have you crocheting chevrons all year round! So many color combination possibilities and you can coordinate the design with so many holidays and seasons.
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.
Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn (1-2 skeins of each depending on how big your blanket is – I’m using one skien of each)
Royal Blue
Cool Blue
Peacock Blue
White
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
Crochet Chevron Pattern:
Chain 110 (or use your multiple of 12 + 2 for a longer chain)
2 SC in second chain from hook, SC in next 4, now you are going to make a 3 SC Decrease (SC three stitches together), *SC in next 4, 3 SC in next, SC in next 4, 3 SC Decrease, repeat from * until the end of the chain making 3 SC in the last stitch, chain 1, turn.
Row 2: 2 SC in second stitch, SC in next 4, 3 SC Decrease, SC in next 4, 3 SC in next, repeat until end, make 3 SC in last stitch, chain 1, turn
Repeat row 2 for as long as you’d like! I am make six rows of each color as I go. You can switch color anytime or do as I’m doing!
My plan is to add tassels to the ends of the chevron “v” for an extra touch!
Here is a video on how to crochet a Chevron Blanket! Let me help you work through the first few rows!
Stay tuned for the reveal of the finished blanket!

Great tutorial, you make it look so easy. Is the yarn you are using acrylic? I’m not a fan of acrylic and was wondering if a natural fiber would work as well for this blanket. Do you have any suggestions?
I’m recalling enjoying your blog and your tutorials. I watch/read everything, even things that I would not make but love. All your tutorial are very easy to follow. Thanks so much for sharing.
I make my afghans for my grandchildren in acrylic so that they will be easily washed and dried in the machines. I am sure that the pattern would work in a natural fiber too.
Your blog design was awesome. I am very much impressed with design of your blog
Thanks for this. It may be a good way to use some of your stash too.

Hi love the tutorial. Can I use half double crochet with this pattern? Thank you
I’ve made this pattern using HDC and it comes out so cute! The hills and valleys end up more rounded than pointy, so it’s kind of a wavy look. I love how it turned out!
Thanks. I’ve been messing with all kinds of chevrons. This pattern is nice.
I’m doing a twin in solid blue then crocheting baby shark applicade.

Hello I am from Cape Town South Africa. I came across your website. I am so excited and impressed. Busy with the 2 row blanket pattern. Thank you for your time to share simple easy patterns for beginners like me. Wish I could make a beanie for myself with this ripple pattern.
Hallo
Haben Sie auch eine Häkelanleitung für einen Rock mit Zickzack-Muster? Würde ich gerne mal probieren
Danke für die Rückmeldung
So it would be nice to know which starting chain # goes for what sizes. I want to do a standard throw about 50 x 60 throw. I know it will vary some, but???
That’s my question as well.
I have been working on a blanket using this pattern, and it seems to be a little rumpled at the decrease… will that block out?
how do you do the fringes
I’m wondering what the sizes are of these blankets?
I am not getting the decrease part of the chevron pattern right.
Was a little hard to see where u were crochet,was off centered some.On the decrease was all stitched in one stitched or 3? Couldn’t see
Very cute, these would work really well after a hard fitness session or a workout, since the colors resemble health & fitness somehow IMO
You say multiples of 12 + 2.
What’s the 2 for?
Does each multiple of 12 need 2 more stitches added… OR
Is that Plus 2 added once… to the beginning of each Row… OR at the ending each row???.
Also, like the other ladies asked… you gave Chains for doing bigger Afghans…. but you didn’t mention what the width will be inches… or how many more multiples will be in each longer row.
I’m new at crocheting and easily confused…
I and my friends usually play Traffic Jam 3D at my home after School. This is a fun and exciting racing game.
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 geometry lite how moly blanket comes out.
How do I FINISH( after last stitch on last row) afghan?
How do you end the afghan?
