You will need this crochet blanket pattern because once you try it, you’ll want to make this time and time again. Not only is the chevron visually appealing, but this texture is to die for and I am already planning a king size throw with it. With this texture, a neutral, solid color throw would be divine. Take a look for yourself!

Crochet blanket pattern – Chevron Flare

I’m seriously falling in love with chevron again, but the texture in my Chevron Flare blanket is what is really doing it. If you don’t know how to do ribbing, this is the perfect time to learn. If you do know how to do ribbing, you will not be more pleased with the effect! Note that this is a FREE crochet pattern complete with a sizing guide for Baby blanket (30” L x 24” W) up to King (76” W x 80” L), yarn amount suggestions.

Here is a closeup of my Lovey Shells and Chevrons which shows just how it looks in solid. I love it!

That was my first time falling in love with the texture and yarn! So, without further adieu, here is all the info you need for this pattern complete with links to purchase the yarn. The colors available are rich and plentiful.

Yarn – Red Heart Baby Hugs, light weight (#3) – 2 skeins (636 yds) make a baby blanket (approx 720 sq in.)

• Peachie, 318 yds
• Sprout, 318 yds

Yarn Note: The amounts I give are a guestimation from my personal experience. I was able to make 2 swatches from the amount of yarn above, plus the blanket. Use your judgement when ordering yarn. I typically order an extra skein of each color just in case I want to make it larger or add a border for fun.

Half double crochets at the beginning and ends of rows are worked under both loops while half double crochets within the chevron are worked in the 3rd loop only. (Video below.) Turning chain does not count as a stitch. Chevron multiples are 12+2. Pattern below gives chain start, ripple repeats, and row amounts for a Baby Blanket. Start chain numbers, ripple repeats, and row amounts for larger sizes are available in the stitch guide above.
