Changing Chevrons CAL – Week 8

by

Congratulations! We have made it to the final section of the Changing Chevrons Crochet Along! Many of you have shared your progress in the Couch Surfer Crocheters Facebook group. It it always so fascinating to see one pattern recreated in so many different colors! After seeing all of your work I have found some new color combinations I want to try out!

I’ve had a few people express interest in making their blanket longer after this week. I will share a few ideas on how to do that at the end of this post.

Changing Chevrons CAL Week 1

Welcome to Week 1 of the Changing Chevrons Crochet Along! If you missed the intro post, let me catch you up on how all this will work! Every two weeks (every other Monday), I will post 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

This blanket pattern uses different stitches done in chevron style. This gives the finished piece a unique look and wonderful texture. Since there will be multiple stitches used throughout, I have also created a Special Stitches Page which has the basic instructions for each chevron stitch variation.

Simple Scraps Throw Crochet Pattern

by

Welcome back to Couch Surfer Crochet! I hope you all are doing well. This winter the flu seems to be everywhere, which is just another good excuse to stay inside and crochet!
