10 Free Chevron Blanket Knitting Patterns
Have you ever knitted a chevron blanket?
At first glance, they look really complicated.
However, most are not!
Basically you’ll be knitting stripes and adding some increases to create the top points and decreases to make the dips.
That is all there is to it.
You’ll also change colors at the ends of rows to create the stripes.
There are three patterns in this collection where you don’t even need to change colors!
Check out pattern #6 and 9. They use self-striping yarn so the yarn does the color changing for you.
Pattern #7 is knit in a solid color and the chevrons are knitted vertically using eyelets.
I really hope you enjoy this collection of chevron blankets but before we get into those, you may want to see other blanket and afghan project ideas:
