• Hook: 5.5mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 double crochets (dc) and 6 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed steps to create your Cozy Chevron Blanket:

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain that is a multiple of 14 plus 2. For example, if you want your blanket to be 42 inches wide, you would chain 98 (which is 14 x 7 + 2).
2. Row 1:
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, make 1 double crochet (dc).
   • Dc in the next 5 chains.
   • Make 3 dc in the next chain (this creates the peak of the chevron).
   • Dc in the next 6 chains.
   • Skip the next 2 chains.
   • Repeat from * to the last 7 chains.
   • In the last 7 chains, dc in the next 6 chains and make 2 dc in the last chain.
   • Turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • Dc in the first stitch.
   • Dc in the next 5 stitches.
   • Make 3 dc in the next stitch (this continues the peak of the chevron).
   • Dc in the next 6 stitches.
   • Skip the next 2 stitches.
   • Repeat from * to the last 7 stitches.
   • In the last 7 stitches, dc in the next 6 stitches and make 2 dc in the top of the turning chain.
   • Turn your work.
4. Continue Crocheting: Repeat Row 2 until your blanket reaches the desired length. This will create the beautiful chevron pattern with alternating stripes of your chosen colors.
5. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, finish off your work by cutting the yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

Your Cozy Chevron Blanket is now complete! Enjoy the warmth and style it brings to your home.
