Materials Needed

• Yarn: Medium weight (worsted) cotton yarn in multiple colors: teal, orange, cream, navy, and yellow.
• Crochet Hook: 6.0 mm (J) crochet hook.
• Gauge: 12 double crochets (dc) x 7 rows = 4 inches in double crochet.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain of 120 stitches. Ensure your chain is not too tight to allow for easy crocheting in the next steps.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make 2 double crochets (dc). Then skip 2 chains and make 3 dc in the next chain. Repeat this pattern across the row, ensuring you end with 2 dc in the last chain. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). In the first stitch, make 2 dc. Skip 2 stitches, then make 3 dc in the next stitch. Continue this pattern across the row, ending with 2 dc in the last stitch. Turn your work.
4. Color Changes: To create the chevron effect, change colors every 2 rows. The sequence of colors should be: teal, orange, cream, navy, and yellow. Make sure to carry the unused yarn along the side of your work to keep your project neat.
5. Continue Crocheting: Repeat the pattern established in Rows 1 and 2 until your blanket reaches your desired length. Remember to keep your tension consistent for an even finish.
6. Finishing Touch: Once you have reached your desired length, it’s time to add a border. Single crochet (sc) around the entire blanket. In each corner, make 3 sc to create a nice rounded edge.
7. Final Steps: After completing the border, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle. This will give your blanket a clean and polished look.

Now that you have your vibrant chevron blanket, find a cozy spot and enjoy the warmth and beauty of your handmade creation!
