Welcome back to the Changing Chevrons Crochet Along! This blanket pattern has been so much fun to create. We are now on Week 4, which means we are now halfway done!! It’s been so cool to see all your versions of this pattern!
In case you are just finding us, let me get you up to speed. This Crochet Along started on Monday, March 26th. Every two weeks (every other Monday), I will be posting 10 – 15 rows of the pattern, including all stitches and variations required. I’m posting every two weeks to give you plenty of time to learn the new stitches and complete all of the rows for that section.
Week 1: March 26
Week 2: April 9
Week 3: April 23
Week 4: May 7
Week 5: May 21
Week 6: June 4
Week 7: June 18
Week 8: July 2
This week we will be doing Rows 40 – 52.
If you’d like to see different variations of this blanket, join me in the Couch Surfer Crocheters Facebook group. Members there are sharing their creations as we go, and it so cool to see so many different color combinations for this pattern!
