    Easy to Follow, Quick Crochet for Classic Chevron

    I had no issues with this pattern at all, it is a quick crochet and easy to follow. The only thing I would have done differently is I would only do a chain 2 at the peaks instead of a chain 3. The holes seem a wee too big with a chain 3. Otherwise, well written, easy to follow. Perfect for just repeating over and over. The recipient loves it!

    Easy reapeat

    I found this a week and a half ago and was a little intimidated due to the 2 star review but I didn't have any problems with it. I did mess up the first row several times but once I got that down the rest was quick and easy to get the hang of. I was able to stitch along quite quickly with easily identifiable landmarks so I could make sure I was still on the right stitch when I got distracted. Yarn is 2 1/4 balls of Caron Anniversary Cakes super bulky size 6 in Black Forest Hook size was 8mm or L/11 I kept the suggested starting chain of 203 Pictures are on a full sized bed

    Easy pattern at first but started getting smaller

    The pattern was easy to follow at first but about 15 rows in, I realized that the rows were getting smaller. At the start I thought I was just miscounting some stitches so it didn't add up to 8 double crochets in-between parts, so I just stopped counting then at some point. Then I stop and look at it and the rows are getting smaller. So unless I did something wrong or missed something, this isn't a good pattern for what the picture shows.

    • When repeating the 2nd row instructions of the Zig Zag Crochet Blanket, you will begin by chaining 4, which counts as a dc and ch-1. We recommend placing a locking stitch marker in the 3rd chain of that ch-4. When you work back in the next row, you will work into the top of that ch-3 (counted as a dc). You will need two locking stitch markers because you will have two end stitches to mark at the same time. This is typically the reason why chevron blankets end up getting narrower as one works and we are confident this tip will help you make this blanket successfully. Happy stitching!
