I saw this blanket on Pinterest awhile ago and decided to make it. I hate buying patterns, especially for things that are the easiest. If you know how to single crochet, then you can make this blanket. After a bit of searching I found this pattern. And modified it a little to get what I wanted. Here's the pattern.
Hook size: I
Yarn: I love this cotton in red, white, and yellow
Hook size: I
Yarn: I love this cotton in red, white, and yellow
Row 1: With white, ch 183. (To make bigger work in multiples of 14)
Row 2:Sc in second st from hook, * Sc in each of next 14 ch, 3 sc in next ch, sc in each of next 14 ch, sk 1 ch, repeat from * across, ending with the sk 1 st, sc in last st, ch 1, turn.
Row 3: Working in back lp of sts Throughout, sc in first sc, sk 1 sc, * sc in each of next 14 scs, 3 sc in next sc, sc in each of next 14 sts, sk 2 sts, repeat from * across, ending last repeat with sk 1 st, sc in last st, ch 1, turn.
Repeat row 3 throughout, working 8 more rows white, 10 rows of orange, 10 rows white, 10 rows red, 10 rows white, etc until you reach the length you want your blanket. You can change the width of your stripes as well.
I'm going to make another one in white, gray, and pink eventually. This blanket took about 3 weeks to make.
Don't forget Crochet club is meeting for the first time today at 3pm. Anyone is welcome and you don't even have to crochet to come. Email me if you need directions to my house: alynnc17@gmail.com. Hope to see you all there!
I loooooooove it!!
ReplyDeleteLove all your blankets!! Amazing work!
ReplyDeleteI was getting ready to crochet a blanket for my new nephew in blue and green and I am totally using this instead of the original pattern I had picked out :)
ReplyDeleteWhat size hook did you use? And how many skeins did it take? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh haha, was looking at this on my phone and somehow missed the hook size in those tiny letters!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! Saw it on UCreate! I love the colors you picked. I too love to crochet and agree knittiit is much faster than knitting, but I love knitting too. If only there were more time!
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to know how many skeins it took of each color.
ReplyDeleteIt took about 3 skeins of white and yellow, and 1 red.
ReplyDeleteThank you.... I am going to give this a try after Christmas. Now to pick the colours that I want to make it in.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!! My grandmother has a chevron blanket that has been the "sick blanket" for my mom and my aunt, and now my sister and me and my cousins. I know everyone would LOVE to have one for themselves. Now I can do it!! WOO!!
ReplyDeleteI've been dying for a chevron blanket and my husband found one for me at an estate sale he was helping a friend at...the only problem? It's in Christmas Colorado! Perfect for the season, but I'll be missing it next month! This pattern is perfect for my replacement. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blanket!! I can't wait to make one myself!! I'd love to make it in white and grey. Thanks for the pattern!!
ReplyDeleteI pinned this recently and just started working on it tonight. It's going great! Thanks for the pattern!!
ReplyDeletelove it so much. What kind/brand of yarn did you use?
ReplyDeleteIt says in the post what yarn I used. It's the I love cotton yarn from Hobby Lobby.
DeleteI'd love to have the dimensions of this blanket. I'd like to make one as a day bed cover.
ReplyDeleteI too would love to know what your finall dimensions are. I am making it as a baby blanket, so closer to crib size. I would love it if you had a second to respond.
ReplyDeleteThe dimensions are 52 inches by 32 inches. You can make it smaller or bigger by adding 14 stitches, or decreasing by 14 stitches
DeleteDo you have a gauge - as I tend to crochet a bit looser than most. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting this my grandmother used to make this pattern and I've been searching all over to find it so I can make one for myself as she no longer remembers how she made it. Thanks again
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother made this blanket for grandkids and great-grandkids. My son was the last one to recieve one before she past on. Now maybe I can start that tradition again with my grandchildren. Thank you so very much. God bless!
ReplyDeleteI like the pattern and you were clear but I really do wish you had told the size of the finished afghan. I hope you will next time. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you sooooo much. I've been trying to find this pattern for ages.

So if I wanted to make this smaller would I just work in multiplies of 14?
ReplyDeleteI made this blanket for myself. I had intended it to go on my full sized bed, but it's just a bit too narrow for my bed, and too pretty to keep hidden under a duvet!
ReplyDeleteI am halfway into this pattern, and it is super easy to follow, but I've noticed the sends tend to curl in. Do you know of any way to keep this from happening?
ReplyDeleteI just started my second blanket using this pattern. The first time I did it, I tried to add 28 to make it wider, but the count just did NOT work out. I figured it was just because I hadn't done the pattern before and I had gotten confused. I did the 183 chain and was able to complete my blanket without issue. So starting this second one I thought I would make it wider, but the count REALLY did not come out right. (I have since gone back to the 183 and it is perfect). Has anyone had success in adding or subtracting by 14?
ReplyDeletei have had the same issue as Sara Elizabeth....i was using a chunky yarn with an L hook so i reduced the stitches to 127 but it did not come out right. I had 6 or 7 stitches left after the last 14 sc, plus the last stitches tend to get fewer and fewer at every turn....can u tell me what am i doing wrong????.....i am beginner and self learning....please need help.
ReplyDeleteI'm newer to crocheting and had to diagram this one out to figure out what the pattern should look like visually and how to increase or decrease this correctly. I found that if you add or subtract in in multiples of 30 off the 183 you'll still end on the down part of the chevron. So if you go down one, it would be 153, up one chevron it would be 213.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! Oh my god, I was getting so frustrated trying to increase by 28; I kept ending up with leftover stitches. I wanted to increase by two more but I wasn't sure if it would throw off my stitch count.
DeletePlease update your pattern with this info!
I found that increasing by 14 did not work either but I believe Sarbear is correct that you increase/decrease by 30. I had figured out we should be using 15, not 14 but if you use 30 you will get the symmetry.
ReplyDeleteI love love love this pattern!!! I am now re-starting for the third time!! Every single time I get to the end of Row 1, I have 2 stitches left instead of just one!!! Ggrrrrrrr!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for a pattern like this... And I love yours! Hope you won't mind me linking up at Tangled Happy tomorrow. Thanks so much for sharing this! Wishing you a very happy Friday. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I'm curious... do you know roughly how many skeins of yarn you used to make this? (hope you haven't already answered this... I didn't see it).
ReplyDeleteThanks! Liz
i really want to make this blanket bigger but i tried multiplying by 14 and 15 and neither worked! please help!!!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI love this modification. I have made several chevron blankets but they were more of a soft wave. i was looking for something exactly like this. I am just not sure what sk means in the pattern?
sk stands for skip
DeleteIs there a video that shows how to get this started?
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your pattern!!!!
ReplyDeletejust found this and can't wait to make one! thanks so much for the tutorial :)
ReplyDeleteI am currently making one of these and I have found that it goes faster using a dc instead of a sc. The next time I am going to try the hdc.
Deletei doubled and im having 18 stitches on the end sections. its starting to get bigger as i go up.. not sure what i should do about this?
ReplyDeleteI had the same issue when I first started this. Ugh. Make sure you're skipping the second to last stitch in your rows and when you start a new row: chain 1, crochet the first stitch and then skip one.
DeleteI ended up starting over, rereading the pattern again and realized I wasn't skipping the 2nd to last chain. Kind of a bummer when you've already invested a few hours into the project. But after fixing my mistake, my edges are very straight. Good luck!
How many skeins of each color did you need?
ReplyDeleteHer answer is about the 8th comment down.
DeleteI love this, and super simple! I am making one right now in mustard yellow and off-white for my little sis. Thanks for sharing!!
DeleteI know this is an old post, but I wanted to say thank you for posting this pattern! I started this today and it's so easy to follow (and I'm a beginner with almost no experience crocheting). It's turning out beautifully!
ReplyDeletethank you for posting this post! It's kept me super busy over the last 5 days of SNOW!!! Please check out my finished product!!

I love your color choices for this blanket. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a crochet club. I'm totally stealing that for our R.S. Thank you so much for the pattern, you are awesome!
ReplyDeleteDo you mind if I sell my finished product using this pattern?
ReplyDeleteNo, that's fine. Thanks for asking.
Deletehi there i was wondering if you have a video tutorial of this ? i am desperately trying to make this blanket but i am fairly new to crocheting and i want to make this for a gift for my sister for her wedding shower. is there anyway you could help me out or anything ?
ReplyDeletemy email is either emelri90@gmail.com for the google accnt
or emily.90@live.ca
I was wondering what 1P means in row 3. I am very new to reading patterns and I just want to make sure i get this right. Thank you so much! I am very excited about this pattern!
ReplyDeleteIt's actually the letter l, not the number one. It means loop. So crochet in the back loop.
