Crochet Chevron Baby Blanket Free Pattern

Sharing is caring!

This Chevron Blanket is reminiscent of classic chevron blankets. Even the autumnal color way of this striped chevron brings back memories of handmade throws draped on the couch.

To give this classic look chevron a modern twist I chose to create larger stripes, banding them together with one slim stripe in the same colorway throughout.

The crochet chevron baby blanket is an easy way to get your feet wet when it comes to chevon crochet projects. I’ve included a video tutorial so even if you’re brand new to crochet or even chevron crochet you’ll be working this one up in no time.

With easy instructions for how to adjust your starting chain (and therefore create a baby, throw or larger size) this chevron blanket has all your needs covered.

The double crochet stitches mean this project works up quickly. And the simple stitch repeat means there’s just one repeat row so perfect for learning. To create the zigzag pattern we’ll use decreases throughout, so you’ll need to know those. Tutorials are linked up below.

I must admit, I almost kept this soft squishy blanket for myself. It’s baby size, but a perfect lap blanket for one! We were blessed with a new little nephew recently though so I couldn’t deprive him of it. I pray he enjoys many snuggles in this blanket for years to come.

The thinner stripes are nice if you have a lot of scrap yarn in your yarn stash to use up!

If you like this simple chevron pattern you may also like the version that uses single crochet stitches in this front door wreath.

Handy tip: Color Changes!

You can seamlessly change colors at the end of the row by stopping before the last yarn over, drop your first color, pick up the new yarn color, yarn over and finish your stitch in the new color. And how you’re ready.

Materials

  • 1 skein each of Lion Brand Heartland* (100% acrylic yarn, 251 yd (230 m) per 142 g skein) divided in shades: Acadia (Color A), Joshua Tree (Color B), Everglades (Color C), Yellowstone (Color D), Grand Canyon (Color E) or about 1000 yds of #4 worsted weight yarn
  • 6 mm hook US Size J-10 hook* or crochet hook to meet gauge.
  • Yarn needle, measuring tape, scissors

Notes

  • Finished size is 40” x 33”
  • Ch 2 doesn’t count.
  • Stitch multiple is 24, plus 3 for the foundation chain, so one adjustment example to create a larger blanket would be 24×8=195+3=198, to go smaller 24×4=96+3=99

Adjustments

To make a different size, adjust the width of your blanket by adding (or subtracting) stitches in sets of 24 for one peak and one valley. So if we take the starting chain for this size which is 123 then add 24 we get 147. Or to make a smaller width you can subtract 24 from 123 and you get 99.

This is an easy pattern to lengthen by continuing the simple pattern repeat. Be sure to add more yarn if making changes as you will need more.
