Rich Kids Chevron Blanket
You will 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 also be divine. A video walk-through is embedded at the bottom of the page and available to help you with the details of how to work the crochet border pattern.
Here is a closeup of my Lovey Shells and Chevrons crochet pattern which shows just how it looks in solid. I love it!
