The design + inspiration

3 months ago we moved to a new apartment in the Netherlands, we bought furniture, and I decided that something was missing in our living room. I love to snuggle at the new couch when we are watching a movie and was looking for a cozy and warm blanket to buy, then suddenly I realized that I am a crocheter, and instead of buying, I could crochet one for myself. I have many Lion Brand Wool-Ease yarn in different shades, perfect for mixing and matching all the colors needed for our living room. Because I knew that this blanket would not be one of our baby size blankets, I wanted something simple, easy to follow ( at the same time I was working 12 hours a day – Christmas rush ) and a mindless project which I can finish in 10 days before New Year was the perfect thing I can crochet. I took all my crochet stitch books I have and started searching for the perfect stitch, and you know what I could not find. I found a chevron pattern that was really nice looking and decided that I can crochet the perfect blanket for myself and share it with you with simple stitch changes. This is the main reason to add 15 different sizes. So everyone can crochet one for loved ones.

The Yarn:

All my friends and family members know that I am always cold in Wintertime. This is the main reason I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease yarn. It is 20 % wool and 80 % acrylic yarn. The perfect blanket to snuggle with. It turned out super warm and cozy. The second reason was all the available colors in my stash was perfectly matching our living room colors. It is worsted weight yarn, and with a 6 mm crochet hook, I finished my blanket really quick, which was my goal. With all the available colors, you can mix and match, and in the end, your blanket will look stunning. You can use another yarn brand that you have in your stash at home. This pattern is perfect as a scrapghan as well, so you can use all the leftovers you have. To get more cozier and boho chick, I added tassels to both sides. It is a small detail but gives this blanket the perfect final touch.

You can find written instructions with a photo tutorial and video tutorial on – making the tassels with cardboard at home here .

Working in 3RD loop of HDC- When we make regular hdc stitch we have the usual front loop and back loop of the stitch , but we also have 1 more additional stitch behind the regulars and this is our 3rd st in which we will be working. You can check the video tutorial in the post bellow for better understanding.

Gauge: 10 x 10-19 sts x 8 rows

3rd loop of half double crochet stitches

Pattern notes:

The pattern is worked back and forth in rows.
The pattern is pretty easy and repeats only one row. The trick here is that we will work the whole pattern in the 3^rd loop of hdc stitch that we have made in prev row. Usually, 3^rd loop of hdc is at the back of the stitch, but this time it will be in the front of your row as we are working in rows and turning our work after each row. See the picture below.
The gauge swatch I made for this blanket is not 10 cm x 10 cm = 4’’ x 4’’. For a better and more accurate result, I did it with two pattern repeats. I suggest you do the same. My final gauge measures 24 cm x 23 cm by 44 sts x 18 rows.
To get the final size measurements of the blanket sizes included, I added extra eight sts, equal to a half repeat of one full chevron repeat.
The stitch is not so elastic, which is the main reason to add half repeat to it. Each size has positive ease around 2-5 cm because one full repeat is made by too many sts and decided better to be bigger than smaller.
In each included table, you will find information on how many chains you have to start, the size you want, and how many repeats you have for the indicated rows.
How many balls of yarn are needed, and how many meters as well.
Because each size has different row repeats, you will find a color table for each row for the size I did, which is Small Throw. This blanket is perfect as a Scrapghan, and you can mix and match all the eight colors I used. They are in perfect combination together. For this project, I decided to use more natural colors than bright ones to easily customize your ones.
The written instructions are for size Small Throw.
Ch3 counts as a stitch throughout the pattern.
