A Cozy Striped Chevron Crochet Blanket
My latest free crochet pattern is a striped crochet chevron blanket. It’s cozy, soft, and super simple to make!
All you need to know for this pattern is how to make a chain and double crochet. So if you love making chevron blankets and love working with chunky yarns, I think you’re going to enjoy this pattern.
It was so relaxing and fun to make! It’s one of those crochet projects that you can pick up and put down numerous times and still know what to do afterwards. Plus, the stripes keep it fun.
I thoroughly enjoyed this pattern, and plan on making a lot more in all different types of colors. Here are some other color combinations that I think would look so good together:
- Salt, Shadow, Werewolf.
- Bellini, Rose Water, Salt
- Cement, Bellini, Toast.
- Rose Water, Love Song, Salt.
- Desert, Love Song, Salt.
- Whisper, Fatigues, Terra
What are your favorite color combinations? Anyhow, let’s get into some of the details on how to crochet this pattern.
How to Crochet a Chunky Chevron Blanket
For this crochet chevron blanket pattern, you will be using only chains and cluster stitches. The cluster stitches are made up of 3 double crochet stitches.
You’ll start by first working your foundation row (row 1) of cluster stitches, and then you’ll work your second row of cluster stitches. In the pattern, I note when you’ve created a valley and when you’ve created a peak. I thought it would be best to mention it because I find it makes it easier to understand when making a chevron-style blanket.
If the pattern looks a little difficult, I promise you it’s not, I just included some extra wordage to make it as easy as possible to follow. So once you’ve completed your second row, then all you have to do is just repeat row 2.
That’s it! So now let’s talk real quick about how to change the size and the type of yarn I used for this crochet chevron blanket pattern.
How to Change the Size of Your Chevron Crochet Blanket
So you can easily change the size of this blanket to make it smaller or bigger by following the multiple, which is 25 + 3. Thus, to change the width of the blanket, add or take away multiples of 25. To change the length of the blanket, simply add or take away rows.
Just remember that if you’re going to make it bigger you have enough yarn to work with.
Alright, so here is the yarn I used for this free crochet blanket pattern.
The Yarn You’ll Use for This Crochet Blanket
I used Lion Brand Re-Spun yarn for this crochet chevron blanket. Lion Brand Re-spun yarn is made from 100% recycled polyester. It’s a super bulky-weight yarn that’s really soft and easy to work with.
I absolutely love working with this yarn and have made two other blankets with this yarn (the Honeycomb Throw and this easy Chunky Blanket). So as you can see, I’m a huge fan!
But if you can’t get a hold of this yarn or want to work with a different fiber, you can always go to the website yarnsub.com and get some substitutions ideas for this yarn.
