I dream of chevron

chevron crochet blanket


Don't you love the chevron pattern? It's simple, bold, classic.

{ 1 } - { 2 } - { 3 } - { 4 } - { 5 } - { 6 } - { 7 } - { 8 }

This pattern has recently inspired tons of projects that I want to make. At this point it's a challenge to design something that isn't zigzag. The first project that I couldn't wait to start is a crochet chevron blanket.

When starting a new project google is always the first place I go. Naturally. I began by looking at all the different crochet chevron blankets out there -trust, theres a ton- so I could get an idea of where to start. I knew it would be black and tan... because I already had a ton of black and tan yarn. It was just a happy coincidence that the two colors go lovely together.

I decided to create my own pattern. I chose to do it in single crochet and a small hook to create a very defined pattern and a dense piece of fabric. Plus I wanted the points of the chevron to be... well, pointy.

I'm falling more and more in love with this blanket with every stitch.
