Crochet Pattern With Depth

Look closely at this pattern 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

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.

Chevron Throw

According to Peacock and Alley, 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

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).

Special Stitch SC2TOG

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.

Video and Photo tutorials

Near the bottom there is a video of this pattern being worked. For those folks that would rather follow a photo tutorial, that is there for you too. It is my hope that you are able to master this pattern.

Finished Blanket Size

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