Bubblegum Chevron Pattern

Bubblegum Chevron Pattern

 

I received a request for the pattern so it is below.  This is my first time writing a pattern for others to use so if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask questions!  Now this is not a completely original pattern.  Last year I had wanted to make my friend a ripple blanket and used Google to learn how to make them.  I looked at so many websites and cannot recall which one I used for my original pattern.  This time around I winged it and made it up as I went based on the websites I looked at because I wanted this one to be more of a steeper/sharper chevron rather than a ripple.

Here are the stitches you will need to know in U.S. terms:

Double Crochet (DC)
3 Double Crochet In One Stitch
3 Double Crochet Decrease
2 Double Crochet Decrease

My blanket was made using worsted weight yarn and a 6.00mm crochet hook.  with a 2 round border my blanket ended up being 36 inches across.  You can adjust the blanket size by chaining different amounts than I did.  You would need to chain in multiples of 22 plus 2 stitches.

Chain 112

Row 1:  Double crochet in the 3rd chain from the hook.  Double crochet in the next 9 chains. 3 double crochet in the next stitch to create the ridge.  Double crochet in the next 9 stitches.  3 double crochet stitch decrease.  *Double crochet in the next 9 stitches. 3 double crochet in the next stitch (creates the peak). Double crochet in the next 9 stitches.  3 double crochet stitch decrease.* Repeat until you have 2 chains left and complete a 2 double crochet stitch decrease instead of the 3 stitch decrease. Chain 2 and turn.

Row 2: Skip the first stitch and double crochet in the next 10 stitches. 3 double crochet in one stitch to create the peak. Double crochet in the next 9 stitches. 3 double crochet stitch decrease. *Double crochet in the next 9 stitches. 3 double crochet in the next stitch (creates the peak). Double crochet in the next 9 stitches.  3 double crochet stitch decrease.* Repeat until you have 2 chains left and complete a 2 double crochet stitch decrease instead of the 3 stitch decrease. Chain 2 and turn.

Repeat row 2 until the blanket is as long as you would like and end.  In order to change colors start the 2 stitch decrease and once you have 2 loops left on your hook switch to the new color and complete the decrease.

You can crochet a border around it.  I chose to do one round of double crochet and one round of single crochet.
