Instructions:
- Foundation Row:
Start by making a slip knot and chain (Ch) 200. This is the length of your blanket.
Adjust the number of chains to increase or decrease the size. - Row 1:
In the 4th chain from the hook, make 3 double crochets (dc).
*Skip 2 chains, in the next chain make 3 dc; repeat from * until you reach the end of the row.
Turn your work. - Row 2:
Ch 3 (counts as first dc), then in the first stitch, make 2 dc.
*Skip the next 2 clusters of 3 dc, in the next cluster make 3 dc; repeat from * until the end of the row.
You'll finish this row with a total of 3 dc in the last cluster. Turn your work. - Row 3:
Ch 3, then in the first spot, make 2 dc.
*Skip 2 clusters, in the next cluster make 3 dc; repeat from * until the end. Turn your work. - Repeat Rows:
Continue repeating Row 2 and Row 3 until your blanket reaches your desired length. Aim for about 60 inches long for a standard throw. - Finishing:
When your blanket is the desired length, fasten off the yarn and weave in any ends using a tapestry needle.
For a polished look, consider gently blocking the blanket: lay it flat and pin it into shape to even out the stitches.
Your colorful chevron blanket is now complete! This blanket not only serves a practical purpose but also adds a pop of color to your living space. Enjoy cozying up under your new handmade creation!
