Chevron-striped blanket for baby

I started this blanket when i was expecting my first-born. I had a terrible lust for crocheting! I used different kinds of waste cotton yarns and I love the outcome! That's why I decided to write somekind of pattern for others enjoynment. I was inspired by Pauline Turner's How to crochet where I found the instructions for Chevron-stripes.


Chevron-striped blanket for baby
Size: 100 x 140 cm
Crochet hook: 3 mm
Suggested yarn: Novita Tennessee and other cotton yarns that match the gauge
Approximately yardage: 1277 g


Start by making 185 chain stitches. Then turn over the work and start chrocheting back to start: Make 1 double crochet (= dc) into the third chain stitch from the start. *Crochet 3 double crochets (one double chrochet per chain st), then 3 dcs together, 3 dcs and 3 dcs in one chain st.* Repeat *-* until the end of the row. There will be 2 dcs in the last chain st. Crochet 3 chain sts and turn the work.


2. row: Make first dc in the same st where you made the chain sts for turning. *Crochet 3 double crochets (one double chrochet per chain st), then 3 dcs together, 3 dcs and 3 dcs in one chain st.* Repeat *-* until the end of the row. There will be 2 dcs in the last chain st. Crochet 3 chain sts and turn the work.

Continue repeating the 2. row until blanket measures size you like. If you want to make stripes, I changed the color before making 3 chaing for turning. Weave in the ends and enjoy your lovely blanket!
