Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn in peach and red
• Hook: Size Q (15 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 4 rows = 4 inches in chevron pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Chain 72: Begin by making a slip knot with your peach yarn. Chain 72 stitches. This will be the foundation of your blanket.
2. Row 1:
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
   • Continue to make 3 more dc in the next 3 chains.
   • In the next chain, make 3 dc (this creates the peak of the chevron).
   • Now, *dc in the next 5 chains, skip 2 chains, and then dc in the next 5 chains, followed by 3 dc in the next chain; repeat from * across the row.
   • End the row with dc in the last 4 chains. Turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • Dc in the first dc of the previous row.
   • Dc in the next 3 dc.
   • Make 3 dc in the next dc (the peak).
   • Now, *dc in the next 5 dc, skip 2 dc, and dc in the next 5 dc, followed by 3 dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row.
   • End with dc in the last 4 dc. Turn your work.
4. Repeat Row 2: Continue to repeat Row 2, alternating colors every 4 rows to create the beautiful chevron pattern. This means you will work 4 rows in peach, then switch to red for the next 4 rows, and so on.
5. Continue until the blanket measures approximately 60 inches: Keep crocheting until your blanket reaches your desired length. This will typically take around 40-50 rows, depending on your tension.
6. Fasten off: Once you reach the desired length, cut your yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure it.
7. Weave in ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends from your starting and ending yarn. This will give your blanket a clean finish.
