Step-by-Step Instructions

Foundation

1. Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 171. This number can be adjusted to a multiple of 14 plus 3 for your desired width.

Row 1

1. In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
2. Continue with 5 more double crochets in the next 5 chains.
3. In the next chain, make 3 double crochets (this creates the peak of the chevron).
4. Make 6 double crochets in the next 6 chains.
5. Now, *skip 2 chains, dc in the next 6 chains, 3 dc in the next chain (peak), dc in the next 6 chains; repeat from * across the row.
6. Once you reach the end, turn your work.

Row 2

1. Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
2. Make a dc in the first dc of the previous row.
3. Continue with 5 more double crochets in the next 5 double crochets.
4. In the next dc, make 3 double crochets (peak).
5. Make 6 double crochets in the next 6 double crochets.
6. Now, *skip 2 double crochets, dc in the next 6 double crochets, 3 dc in the next dc (peak), dc in the next 6 double crochets; repeat from * across the row.
7. Once you reach the end, turn your work.

Repeating Rows

1. Continue repeating Row 2, alternating colors every 4 rows. For example, use Color A for the first 4 rows, then switch to Color B for the next 4 rows, and finally Color C for the next 4 rows.
2. Keep crocheting until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length.

Finishing

1. Once you have reached the desired length, finish off your work by cutting the yarn, leaving a long tail for weaving in.
2. Weave in all ends using a yarn needle to ensure a neat finish.
3. For an elegant touch, you can add a simple single crochet border around the edges of the blanket using Color A (soft cream).
