***appr. 2100 – 2200 yards of yarn
Ch 146
R1 – in the 2nd ch from the hook place 2 SC into the same space. *SC in each of the next 7 sts. Skip 1. SC in the next 7 sts. Place 3 SC in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * ending with 2 SC in the last stitch. CH 1. Turn.
R2 – Place 2 sc in the same space as the CH 1. *SC in each of the next 7 sts. Skip 2. SC in the next 7 sts. Place 3 SC in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * ending with 2 SC in the last stitch. CH 1. Turn.

****if you’re wanting to do a stripe, simply take the number of rows you need to complete the size and divide it by the number of colors you would like to use. For ex. If you want to use 4 colors. Take 108 and divide by 4 for a total of 27. You would then complete 27 rows per color in order to have even stripes.

I would like to get the pattern for the different sizes. How can I purchase? Thank you!
How many stitches needed to. And this wider? What is the number of stitches and multiplayer for wider blanket Thanks me Debbie
16 + 2 is the multiple for this particular blanket
Was just wondering for a later project
What size does this come out to be
Throw/Twin size blanket (39”x74”)
Wondering if u can double crochet it instead of single crochet please let me know
hi becky!
yes, you can totally change those stitches out. Just be aware, your measurements will be slightly different.
Thank you so much for this Chevron pattern! I’ve always loved and done the ripple stitch and well one day it just left my memory. Could be age, could be the brain surgeries but whatever my situation I stuck with it and found you and I’m so grateful. It’s your pattern and YouTube video that click and make sense to me.
I was wondering if you did a border on best beginner chevron blanket?
Hi! I didn’t include a border for this blanket. Were you wanting to add one?
I’m sorry if I missed it but how many skeins of yarn (or yards) are needed to complete the free throw pattern?
appr. 2200 yards will be required to complete the free pattern size.
Was wanting to on a later project
Instead of sc can I dc (US) terms for this pattern?
hello Gayle!
absolutely! your measurements might be slightly different but not too bad.
To make this throw, using your stripe design and using 4 colors like you did, are you saying that it will be 39” by 74” and how much skeins of yarn each will I need? I know you said I would need approximately need 2100-2200 yards of yarn but I don’t know how many skeins of yarn I would need each? So would you kindly tell me? I am a beginner and I’m so excited to make this for my daughter and her husband. He’s in the Military. This will be my second project besides learning how to make washcloths with the Sugar and Cream cotton yarn which was very difficult to make with the yarn which was not very forgiving.
Thank you,
Sandra
This sounds like an exciting project you will be beginning for your daughter! If you are wanting to mimic stripes, you will need about one skein of the recommended yarn per stripe.

Nice!!!
how do you work in the strands of yarn on the edge where you changed colors?
how do you weave in the ends on the chevron blanket? thank you
If I want a wider blanket, would I do 16 and then 16 and 2 and again 16 and 16 and 2 until my desired width?
When you’re trying to figure out how many rows you need for your stripes where are you getting the 108 at to divide by how many colors you are using?
You make it look easy. I want to do this for a baby blanket about a 36×36 or 36×40″ blanket.
Hi, I’m new to this and only made one other project. Do you continuously do the chevrons or do you stitch the 2 to make the width? I’m a little bit confused!
I’m confused, are there 222 rows or 108 (like when you describe the color change)?
How many skeins in each color?
Where did you come up with 108 to see how many rows of each color? I am using 3 different colors.
How do you work 2 SC into the same space as the CH1? That’s the only thing I’m having trouble with
I’ve tried doing the 2 SC into the first stitch in the row, but now the edges are going out diagonally
Can you tell me how many chains I need for a king size blanket? I dont need the whole pdf pattern just the chains
Hello could you tell me what is the names of the colors you are useing they are so pretty together …I like to make my son one His bed size is single how many chins do I need to start off with..I copy my grandmas blankets she made for is will way to big for his small bed lol…thank you for showing us…
To make a wider blanket is it 16+2 16+2 16+2 and so on till desired width or 16+16+16 and add 2 at end? Also would this pattern be the same no matter what size? First time trying the chevron blanket pattern and I’m confused.
I would like to try and make this throw. I am a beginner and was wondering how many rows if I used two different colours. Thank you
New at this, do you add 2st every 16?or do you add at end of row,say like146?I want big throw,I’m doing something wrong, help
Finally a pattern that doesn’t have the Dc2tog on the end of the row! I want to do this in DC. I am assuming at the beginning of the row you would chain 3 instead of 1. Thanks !
I’m new at this. I don’t understand how many rows I need of each color like u did. I want to use 3 colors and white like you did. Thanks for the pattern. Your colors are pretty.
I am a beginner….My ends are not staying even. I am counting as I go what am I doing wrong.
In your video you say ch1 in the pattern it do not ch1 what should I do
If you are making the blanket in 2 colors, and it a total of 224 rows, how many rows for each color?
I’m about to start this project but am a little confused about the stripes of different colors. I’m wanting to do 4 colors but I’d like to have those 4 repeat about 3 times each. So for the throw size blanket how many rows of each color would I do at a time before switching?
For the first row when you skip a chain, it says skip 1 chain
on the second row it says skip two chains.
This did not work for me
Please explain
Your video and written directions counterdict each other. Your video says to skip 2 stitches but does not say that in directions for row one. I’m new at crocheting so maybe I’m just not understanding.

Looks like a Ripple Afghan, is there a difference?
Can you use this pattern to make the cheverons wider if you still maintain the multiple of 16 plus two
If you only wanted to use two colors and one color less rows how would you do it on this pattern.
I love this blanket and have never made a Chevron one before! I am going to make it for my sister in law that is expecting her first baby. Do you have easy instructions on completing a border?
As a beginner, I love your patterns. Thanks for sharing.
One Question: If it reads skip 2, do I chain two in that space. (Re: Chevron Pattern) Elaine
Do you have directions for a border?
Where did you get 108 from?
What does 222:repeat riw 2 mean?
How many rows does it take to complete the throw/ twin afghan? I am using three colors and want to figure out my rows. Thanks!!
When doing the Ripple Pattern,I never noticed till recently.But do the valley and peaks suppose to match on both ends. Thank you
