I see chevrons everywhere.

And I mean I can't go to the grocery store without seeing a chevron pattern somewhere, somehow.

When you can't beat em, join em - right?

Well I'm not one to slap a chevron on just anything - it has to be just so.

Enter the crochet chevron stitch!

This stitch is not complicated. At all. Seriously, if you can make a single crochet, you can chevron. its' that simple!

So without further ado, let's learn this fun stitch



PATTERN:

Slip knot
Ch a multiple of 17  and add 16 to it (I did 33)
Sc decrease in first and second st from hook, Sc in next 5 sts, *3 Sc in next st, Sc in next 7 sts, skip 2 sts, Sc in next 7 sts*, 3 Sc in next st, Sc in next 5 sts, Sc decrease, Ch 1, turn

Notes:
Each "3 Sc in same st" is a peak in the chevron pattern
Each "skip 2 sts"is a valley in the chevron pattern


If you'd like to make a bigger project (say, a blanket):
Repeat from * to * as many times as you like - this will create more peaks and valleys and a longer sample. Remember to allot for this in your foundation Ch

Example: For a lap size blanket you may want to repeat from * to * 4 times. So for your foundation Ch you need to Ch 17x4 = 68+16 = 84



I hope you all love this stitch and make some beautiful things!
