Textured Chevron Blanket – Free Crochet Pattern

Posted on January 13, 2017 | 38 Comments

Can I get a Hell Yeah?!

After months and months and months, I’ve finally finished my Textured Chevron Blanket!

And not only have I finished it,  but I have the pattern ready as well. But first, look!

For this project I’ve been using Scheepjes Softfun Aquarel, which is one of my faves.  It’s a cotton acrylic blend which is soft, squishy, warm and has outstanding stitch definition. Oh, and it’s durable too!

Now, let’s get on with the pattern, shall we?

Materials

Six balls each of Scheepjes Softfun Aquarel* in colours 801,803, 807, 808, 810
Eight balls of Scheepjes Softfun Aquarel* in colour 809
Two balls of Scheepjes Softfun Aquarel * in colour 804
4mm hook
Measuring tape
Blocking wires or pins

Measurements

150 x 160cm (but will stretch a lot!)

Abbreviations

Note: All stitches are in US terms.  There are a lot of them, so make sure you pay close attention to what needs to be used where.
CH – Chain Stitch
SS – Slip Stitch
SC – Single Crochet
DC – Double Crochet
HDC – Half Double Crochet
Tr – Treble Crochet

FPextDC – Front Post Extended Double Crochet
HDC3L – Half Double Crochet in the 3rd loop (camel stitch)

Tension

4 zigzag sets by 10 rows = 10cm

Notes

Each colour block uses about 1.5 balls of yarn, so you will need to join.  Do take care to make your joins strong and tight and keep ends to weave in.  If your join isn’t strong enough and it comes unraveled, it will be a disaster to fix!

Although the stitches and abbreviations all sound complicated, once you start working on the blanket it’s all very straight forward and easy.

Instructions

  1. Using colour 809, CH 296 298.  If you have too many chains on your hook, don’t start over, you can pull them out once you’re done.
  2. 2DCTog into the 3rd chain from the hook and the next 5 CH. DC, CH, DC into the next, DC into the next 5 CH, 3DCTog in the next. *DC in next 5 CH, DC, CH, DC, DC in the next, DC into the next 5 CH, 3DCTog in the next.* Repeat 19 times, but the very last stitch of the row will be 2DCTog instead of 3DCTog.  CH2, turn.
  3. CH2 (does not count as a stitch here or throughout), 2FPDCTog in the first 2, FPDC around the next 5 stitches, DC, CH1, DC into the CH space, FPDC into the next 5 stitches, 3FPDCTog in the next 3 (the stitch before the decrease, the decrease and the stitch after the decrease), *FPDC in the next 5 stitches, DC, CH1, DC in the CH space, FPDC in the next 5 stitches, 3FPDCTog in the next 3.* Repeat 19 times, except in the very last decrease, which will be 2FPDCTog instead of 3FPDCTog. CH2, turn.
  4. Repeat Row 3 7 times.

Border

Join colour 804 to the top corner to work across and square off each end.

  1. CH3, 2FPTrTog, FPtr, FPextdc, FPdc, FPhdc, sc in the next 3, FPhdc, FPdc, FPextdc, FPtr, 3FPTrtog, *tr, extFPdc, FPdc, FPhdc, sc in the next 3, FPhdc, FPdc, FPextdc, FPtr, FP3TrTog* repeat across. In the last set, FP2TrTog instead of 3. Cut and tie off.  Rotate to join to the bottom corner to work across and square off.
  2. Join with a sc, sc, *FPhdc, FPdc, FPextdc, FPtr, FP3TrTog (the 3 dc in one from the foundation row counts as 1 stitch), FPTr, FPextdc, FPdc, FPhdc, sc in the next 3*. Repeat across and instead of 3 sc, work 2.  Turn 90 degrees to work down the side.
  3. Working down each side is not an exact science; try to work 3 HDC per two rows. This will make sure that the border is not too tight, nor so loose that it will be wavy. It won’t matter if your count is a couple of stitches out, you won’t notice. Once at the next corner (working 1 stitch into the post of the 1st top border stitch), work a hdc, ch1, hdc into the 1st stitch to form the corner, then work a HDC3L in each stitch across the top.  At the next corner,hdc, ch1, hdc into the last stitch, then turn the work, 90 degrees to work along the third edge.  Repeat all the way around, for a total of three camel stitch rows. Don’t join and ch 2 at the end of each row, just keep going until you’re back to the top corner which is the start/finish point.  The ends should have 4 rows of camel stitch at each end, and 3 down the sides.
  4. Tie off, weave in ends and wet block aggressively.

There will be a lot of stretch in the blanket, making it perfect to tuck around your feet and body while bingeing on Outlander on Netflix.

    I’m really excited for this pattern, but I want to make sure I’m doing the second row correctly. Do you start wit a total of 6 2dctog including the one after skipping the first chain 3? Also, I was putting 6 DC for each set (DC, then 5 DC) after the DC, CH, DC. I realize I might be reading the pattern incorrectly.

    I need to know how to make it smaller?

    • MissNeriss | December 4, 2018 at 17:10 | Reply

      To make it smaller, you can just reduce the amount of repeats across, and the rows you want to add. Take a look at the chart, that will show the repeat sets. Good luck, let me know how you go!

    Love the colors and the blanket, unfortunately 40 balls of yarn at $4.25 is a little expensive for me. I just love the look, great job!

      miss Nerriss,
      the instructions at the end… I don’t understand…. you said ch2 at end then turn, then ch2 again. is that correct? I’m just not understanding what stitch I start the new row in. Thanks for your help

    I’m having the same problem..can’t seem to get the ends right
    Could you do a you tube demonstration???
    And also is the DC ch DC, are those counted as one of the five fpdc?

    Hi, I wonder if you could check something. I have spent hours today trying to do the first two rows of this pattern and I cannot get the counts to work. To end on the 2dctog for row 1, I have had to chain 298, but I’m wondering if I have the stitch pattern incorrect? After the V stitches, am I supposed to do 5 dc or 6 dc? Also could you post a close up of subsequent pattern repeats as mine doesn’t seem to look like yours. I am an experienced crocheter and I don’t understand where i am going so wrong! Many thanks.

    Just about the most beautiful Chevron blanket out there! Could you please share the multiple of chains needed in a full repeat so I can calculate how to make this blanket with a larger hook? Thanks a bunch!

    So beautiful, I just want to hug it. It does look very complicated though I am a little bit up from a beginner…..should I wait a few years?

    Gorgeous!!!! Absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your hard work with us and giving us the pattern. Such a nice thing to do. I am hoping that someday, I will get a chance to make it (too many other WIP and work at the moment but someday, I will get there). Thank you again!
