Chevron crochet patterns are my favorite baby blankets. They're easy to memorize and can be customized in any colors imaginable. Matching a baby's room or throwing together a funky pattern is just what I love to do when I'm making a gift for a friend.
Recently, I made this rainbow ripple blanket. I love the way it turned out and wanted to share just how I made it with you!
Materials:
- Hobby Lobby "I Love This Yarn!" in Pink and White
- Vanna's Choice in Bluebell (this is Vanna's Choice Baby) and Lime
- Impeccable Loops and Threads in Butterscotch and Cherry.
- I crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry Needle for weaving ends
Pattern Notes:
- Finished blanket is approximately 27" wide and 30" long.
- This pattern is worked through both loops
- You will be working into the chain at the end of each row
- Gauge is not important for this project
- dc2tog is the same thing as a double crochet decrease
Pattern:
Ch 100.
Row 1: Dc in the third chain from the hook. Dc in the next 4 stitches. Dc2tog twice (so across the next 4 stitches). Dc in the next 4 stitches. *Work 2 dc into the next 2 stitches. Dc in the next 4 stitches. Dc2tog twice. Dc in the next 4 stitches.* End with two dc in the last chain. Ch 2, turn.
Row 2: (wording has been changed for clarity, but the pattern is the exact same) dc in the first st (your ch 2 and your first dc are worked in the same stitch) and in the next 4 stitches. dc2tog twice. dc in the next 4 stitches. *work 2 dc into the next 2 stitches. dc in the next 4 stitches. dc2tog twice. dc in the next 4 stitches.* End with 2 dc in the last stitch. Ch 2, turn.
At the end of every two rows, you will cut your yarn and join a new color yarn. You will continue repeating row two until you have 56 rows (or really, you could keep going as long as you wanted).
I did a repeating stripe pattern for this blanket. It's two rows of each color in the following order:
Bluebell, White, Lime, Cherry, Pink, White, Butterscotch

I love this! The colors are fantastic and the pattern is simple.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great! The colors are so cheerful.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of the chevron pattern as well! Your color choices are lovely.

This is such a beautiful pattern! I'm working on it right now and I'm a tiny bit confused though. I am wondering if the first * should go back a sentence or if there needs to be something that says to DC in the next four stitches before you repeat. I'm fairly new to crocheting, so I could be completely up in the night. But it seems like there needs to be 4 DCs between the peak and valley (and the valley and peak) Thanks so much for your help!
ReplyDeleteAgain, a beautiful work of art. I always love your color choices and the cheerfulness that shines through your designs. :)
ReplyDeleteHelp! I'm making this blanket but with every row I make, my dc2tog and 2 stitches with 2 doubles keeps moving over a stitch with each row I make. I've started over 3 times and have counted my stitches over and over. I'm wanting to make this for this Saturday.
ReplyDeleteDenise, are you putting your first stitch on row 2 into the same stitch as the chain you just made? If you're going into the next one instead that will have the effect that you're getting x
ReplyDeleteLearning to patterns too, and I have a question on Row 1 you have in parenthesis (so across the next 4 stitches). does that mean Dc2tog twice only or do I dc2tog in the next four stitches, thank you, I am really confused, reading patterns are hard for me.
ReplyDeleteI am totally confused with the 1st row ... you have Dc in the third chain from the hook, Dc in the next 4 st. Dc 2tog twice (so across the next 4 stitches) Dc in the next four sts. ....
ReplyDeletePlz help me ...
When i start the 2nd color do I do DC in third chain from hook or start w DC in first stitch then 4 DC?
ReplyDeleteI am so disappointed...when I print this beautiful pattern the right hand side is covered with advertising so I cannot read the complete pattern.
ReplyDeleteI'm working this pattern and I'm about four rows in and it seems like the blanket wants to go into a circle
ReplyDeleteI love the rainbow baby blanket and I've begun to crochet it. But I'm stuck on the following direction. You say... (so across the next 4 stitches) ...I'm not sure what you mean by that. Can you explain a little further? Thanks so much. Kate
ReplyDeleteThese are very easy, the colors are beautiful, and best of all , can be crocheted in one day.
