Crochet Chevron Blanket Pattern in Country Colors

This crochet chevron blanket pattern creates a beautiful zig zag pattern consisting of peaks and valleys. Can be used as a blanket or bed scarf. In addition to the written pattern, there are photo tutorials, as well as, a video tutorial to help everyone be able to crochet this too.

With its timeless zigzag design and the rhythmic repetition of stitches, this pattern combines relaxation with creativity, making it ideal for both beginner and seasoned crocheters.

Whether you’re crafting a cozy throw for your living room or a thoughtful handmade gift, this blanket adds a touch of elegance and warmth to any space. In this post, I’ll guide you through the steps to create your very own chevron blanket.

In this post, you’ll learn how to create this blanket using the back loop single crochet stitch.

This simple yet effective technique—working the single crochet stitch into the back loops (the part of the stitch that forms the ‘v’ furthest from you)—adds both dimension and beauty to the blanket, making it truly stand out.

Crochet Pattern With Depth

Look closely at this beautiful crochet blanket and notice the details. There is almost a look of 3 D. This is achieved by crocheting in the back loop, using single crochet, and creating a zig zag pattern. Additionally, the yarn colors help create a country chic color pattern. The photo below helps show off the pattern illusion; however, take a look at the bed scarf photo too. The photo looks like the bed scarf is folded, but it is not. It is actually laying flat.

Chevron Country Bed Scarf or a Throw Blanket

Whenever I stay at a hotel, I love the beautiful bed scarves. When I was crocheting this chevron pattern, I initially thought it would be a beautiful country blanket. However, I spent a girl’s day out with my sister recently and we stayed at a hotel. I brought the blanket along with me to show my sister. We decided it would look beautiful as a bed scarf.

What is a Bed scarf?

A bed scarf is a blanket that is placed at the foot of a bed to protect a comforter or duvet from damage and dirt. Bed scarves are often used in hotels.

Zig Zag Blanket Chevron Throw

A throw is a small, thin blanket used for layering on a bed. Often only large enough to accommodate a single person, a throw is typically used as decorative piece. I think that this chevron crochet pattern can be used as a throw also.

Specifics of the Chevron Crochet Stitch Pattern

This is a single crochet chevron blanket with a simple stitch repeat.

In this pattern, the peaks are formed by working three SC into one stitch. The valleys
are formed by skipping over 2 stitches. In my chevron crochet pattern, I worked 13 SC up and down each side. Therefore, one peak is 29 stitches. Here are how the 29 stitches are calculated. There are 13 stitches on each side and 3 extra stitches at the top (13 + 13 + 3 = 29).

What does SC2TOG mean?

Single Crochet Two Together.

SC2TOG – single crochet 2 together (insert your hook pull up a loop, insert your hook into the next stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through all loops on your hook)

The SC2TOG is used at the beginning and end of each row.

SC2TOG Alternative in this crochet pattern.

If you would prefer not to complete the SC2TOG, you can skip the second to the last single crochet and complete a single crochet in the last stitch.

Whichever way you prefer to decrease the ends is fine. Either way will get great results.

Directions: Crochet Chevron Blanket Pattern in Country Colors

Skill Level

Easy. Perfect for a confident beginner.

Gauge

Gauge 4 in = 13 stitches and 14 rows of single crochet.

Finished Blanket Size

Finished blanket size is approximately 30 inches wide by 56 inches long.

To make different sizes. There are Six Peaks in my blanket. You can increase or decrease the number of peaks using the pattern repeat. Pattern repeat is 29+3 if you would like it larger or smaller, multiply the number of peaks by 29, then add 3. Note: if you use a larger hook and thicker yarn, that will also change the size of this pattern.

Make this into a baby blanket 30 X 34 inches by decreasing the rows. I would suggest about 90 rows.

Summing up the Crochet Chevron Blanket

For this blanket, I am working all the SC into the back loop only. (This forms the corn rows)

Always remember to SC2TOG when you end a row and start a row. Always skip two stitches for a valley, and work 13 up each side. Work 3 SC into one stitch for the peak. And end with a chain 1 and turn.

Special Stitches

Single Crochet (SC). Insert your hook, yarn over (YO) and pull up a loop, YO and pull through two loops on hook.

Single Crochet 2 Together (SC2TOG). Insert your hook pull up a loop, insert your hook into the next stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through all loops on your hook.

Pattern Directions

Begin with a Starting Chain of 177.

Row 1

In the second chain from the hook and the next chain, SC2TOG. (single crochet the first to chains together), [SC in the next 13 chains, work 3 SC into the next chain, SC in the next 13 chains, skip 2 chains]. Repeat between the [ ] across. When working the last row of 13 chains, there should be two extra stitches. SC2TOG, these last two stitches. Chain 1 and turn.

Row 2

From this row on, complete your stitches in the Back Loop; if you want to achieve the same look of this chevron crochet blanket.

Start this row and each one after this with SC2TOG. (working in the back loop, single crochet the first to chains together), [BLSC in the next 13 chains, work 3 BLSC into the next chain (this should be the middle ST of the 3 SC that was completed in the row before), BLSC in the next 13 chains, skip 2 chains. Repeat between the [ ] across. When working the last row of 13 chains, there should be two extra stitches. Working in the back loop, SC2TOG, these last two stitches. Chain 1 and turn.

Row 3 and Beyond

Repeat row 2

I worked 150 rows for my blanket.

Finishing

Cut off a 10-12 inch yarn tail. Pull it through the last stitch. Weave in ends and cut off excess.

Country Chevron Blanket Color Changes
