Chevron crochet patterns are my favorite baby blankets. They’re easy to memorize and can be customized in any colors imaginable. Matching a baby’s room or throwing together a funky pattern is just what I love to do when I’m making a gift for a friend.
Recently, I made this rainbow ripple blanket. I love the way it turned out and wanted to share just how I made it with you!
NOTE: If your rows aren’t lining up OR if you’re running out of room at the end of Row 2, please check out this brief video tutorial to answer your questions.
Row 1: dc in the third chain from the hook. Dc in the next 4 stitches. Dc2tog, dc 2 tog. Dc in the next 4 stitches. *Work 2 dc into the next 2 stitches. Dc in the next 4 stitches. Dc2tog, dc2tog. Dc in the next 4 stitches.* End with 2 dc in the last chain. Ch 2, turn.
Row 2: dc in the first st (your ch 2 and your first dc are worked in the same stitch) and in the next 4 stitches. dc2tog, dc2tog. Dc in the next 4 stitches. *Work 2 dc into the next 2 stitches. dc in the next 4 stitches. dc2tog, dc2tog. dc in the next 4 stitches.* End with 2 dc in the last stitch. Ch 2, turn.
NOTE: you will have 2 dc in the first and last stitch of each row (ch 2 counts as dc).
I love this! The colors are fantastic and the pattern is simple.
It turned out great! The colors are so cheerful.
I'm a fan of the chevron pattern as well! Your color choices are lovely.<br /><br />Sheila<br />http://sheilazachariae.blogspot.com/2014/02/cath-kidstongreengate-inspired-bakeware.html
This is such a beautiful pattern! I'm working on it right now and I'm a tiny bit confused though. I am wondering if the first * should go back a sentence or if there needs to be something that says to DC in the next four stitches before you repeat. I'm fairly new to crocheting, so I could be completely up in the night. But it seems like there needs to be 4 DCs between the peak and
Again, a beautiful work of art. I always love your color choices and the cheerfulness that shines through your designs. 🙂
Help! I'm making this blanket but with every row I make, my dc2tog and 2 stitches with 2 doubles keeps moving over a stitch with each row I make. I've started over 3 times and have counted my stitches over and over. I'm wanting to make this for this Saturday.
Denise, are you putting your first stitch on row 2 into the same stitch as the chain you just made? If you're going into the next one instead that will have the effect that you're getting x
Learning to patterns too, and I have a question on Row 1 you have in parenthesis (so across the next 4 stitches). does that mean Dc2tog twice only or do I dc2tog in the next four stitches, thank you, I am really confused, reading patterns are hard for me.
I am totally confused with the 1st row … you have Dc in the third chain from the hook, Dc in the next 4 st. Dc 2tog twice (so across the next 4 stitches) Dc in the next four sts. ….<br /><br />Plz help me …<br />
When i start the 2nd color do I do DC in third chain from hook or start w DC in first stitch then 4 DC?
I am so disappointed…when I print this beautiful pattern the right hand side is covered with advertising so I cannot read the complete pattern.
I'm working this pattern and I'm about four rows in and it seems like the blanket wants to go into a circle
I love the rainbow baby blanket and I've begun to crochet it. But I'm stuck on the following direction. You say… (so across the next 4 stitches) …I'm not sure what you mean by that. Can you explain a little further? Thanks so much. Kate
These are very easy, the colors are beautiful, and best of all , can be crocheted in one day.
I like a few of you was confused with the instructions on Row 1: but I think I have it now. I searched her site and found her “Ripple Baby Blanket” which as far as I can tell is the same as the one here, just different colors are used. I think there may have been a typo on Row 1: of the Chevron pattern, but here’s the instruction for Row 1: of the Ripple…it makes a lot more sense. I am working on it now and it’s coming out fine…hope this helps! 🙂
Opps! forgot to post the instructions for Row 1: Here it is…Row 1: dc in the third chain from the hook. Dc in the next 4 stitches. Dc2tog, dc 2 tog. Dc in the next 4 stitches. *Work 2 dc into the next 2 stitches. Dc in the next 4 stitches. Dc2tog, dc2tog. Dc in the next 4 stitches.* End with 2 dc in the last chain. Ch 2, turn.
I’ll update it to read the same way as the other pattern. Thanks, Vickie.
Thanks Lauren, and thank you for sharing this pattern I am working on a baby boy blanket in baby blue with rows of lite grey and yellow to look like little zig zaggy roads, then I will be crocheting little car appliques to place on the roads. This pattern works up so quickly I should be done in no time! 🙂
I have started and restarted a few chevron patterns in the last few days. None of them were working for me which is why I quit making ripples years ago and I have been crocheting for 20 years. The only reason I am trying now is because my niece is doing her nursery in chevron patterns. I stumbled across this pattern…finally, one that is working. The only thing is, I would like to make it wider. Do you know what multiples would do that for me? I could never figure out how to do that.
The multiples are 14+2 🙂
Thank you!
Thank you for such a great pattern. I want to make this blanket but I want it to be bigger. How many chains would you suggest starting with, any even number?
As long as your chain is a multiple of 14 +2, you can make this blanket any size you’d like 🙂
WOW just what I was looking for. Came here by searching for search
Thank You! I have tried several ripple afghan patterns lately. This one is easy to read, no problems!! Can’t wait to see the finished project!
Where did you find the Impeccable loops and threads yarn and what ply? thanks
Michaels, and it’s worsted (Is that 8 or 9 ply??) 🙂
made this with some turquoise I had from hobby lobby in place of the blue. Looks great. Such a happy fun blanket! Thank you so much for sharing!
Just wondering, beginning of each row is chain 2(counts as first dc) dc in that same space, then 4dc in next 4 spaces, for a total of 6 dc and is there 6 dc at the end of each row? (2 in last space) thanks!
Yes… the ch 2 does count as the first stitch.
