Instant Digital Knitting Pattern Download

A flexible design that is compatible with any yarn brand you choose.

This lacy chevron afghan is an intermediate crochet blanket pattern worked flat in long rows, using two strands of worsted weight yarn held together to create a warm bulky-weight fabric. Back loop only single crochet ridges alternate with open treble crochet V-stitch panels to form deep chevrons with beautifully defined points along the edges. The result is a textured crochet throw with sculptural zig-zag lines, plenty of stitch interest and a clear, rhythmic repeat that is easy to memorise. Crocheted with a double strand on a 9.00 mm hook, it grows quickly and shows off solid, heathered or softly variegated yarns, making it a versatile ripple blanket for the sofa, bed or guest room.

Construction
Afghan worked flat from a long foundation chain, using increases and decreases to form chevron shaping. Back loop only single crochet rows create raised ridges and stability between bands of treble crochet V-stitches and clustered decreases over tall stitches. The shaping naturally forms deep points along the top and bottom edges, giving a bold ripple silhouette.

Fabric characteristics
Chunky-weight crochet fabric with pronounced chevrons and a mix of solid ridges and open lace. Thick and warm, with enough drape to fold or throw over furniture. Suitable for solid, heathered or gently variegated yarns where the stitch pattern remains clearly visible.

Yarn Suggestions Disclaimer
Yarn suggestions are examples chosen to match the pattern’s yarn weight and the kind of stitch definition needed for the texture. They are not endorsements of any particular brand or fibre. Always make and measure a tension swatch and adjust hook size to match the stated gauge. If your chosen chunky (bulky / category #5) yarn has a different meterage per ball, you may need more or fewer balls than another yarn of the same weight. Substitutions are at the crocheter’s discretion, and Marle & Row accept no responsibility for the performance, appearance, washability or durability of any specific yarn or finished item.
