Easy Crochet Chevron Baby Blanket

Easy Chevron Baby Blanket

Pattern Notes

I chose to carry up the yarn when changing colors instead of breaking the yarn and weaving in all those ends. Choose which method works best for you.

Final Measurements

34" x 41"

Gauge

Gauge isn't super important with this blanket, but each chevron peak = 5 inches across and 3 inches from top of peak to base line (if a straight line had been drawn from tip to tip).

-Size I/5.5 mm Crochet Hook

Instructions

Starting With Color A, Ch 178. (or multiple of 22 + 2 for different sizes)

Row 1:  Skip 2 ch, work 2 dc in next ch, *1 dc in next 7 ch, dc3tog x 2, 1 dc in next 7 ch, 3 dc in next ch x 2. Repeat from * 6 more times. 1 dc in next 7 ch, dc3tog x 2, 1 dc in next 7 ch, 3 dc in next ch, ch 2, turn.

Row 2:  2 dc in 1st st, *1 dc in next 7 sts, dc3tog x 2, 1 dc in next 7 sts, 3 dc in next st x 2. Repeat from * 6 more times. 1 dc in next 7 sts, dc3tog x 2, 1 dc in next 7 sts, 3 dc in top of turning chain, ch 2, turn.

Attach Color B

Repeat Row 2 until blanket is desired length alternating colors every 2 rows. If you are using 3 colors like I did, after the 6th Color B stripe, attach Color C and continue alternating every 2 rows.

Bind off and weave in ends. If you are doing the border, you don't have to break the Color B yarn if you are okay with starting where it's located.

Border

Sc around entire blanket (using Color B). In the peaks and valleys, do the increases (3sc) and decreases (sc2tog). In the corners, do 2 sc sts. After going all the way around, join to 1st sc with a sl st, bind off and weave in end.
