NOTES:
- This pattern is written in US terms.
- ch 1 and ch 3 counts as a stitch.
- There is an increase (2 sc/dc in the next st) in the first and last st of every row. (See photo of stitch repeat below)
- For every decrease (sc2tog or dc2tog) in the pattern row, there is a corresponding increase (2 sc in next st. or 2 dc in next st.)
(final row counts are always 108). - This chevron pattern alternates 2 rows of sc (white) and 2 rows of dc (pink).
- You will need more of the MC that you work the 2 rows of dc in.
- I carried the different colors of yarn up the side because it will be hidden with the sc boarder.
- I chose pink and white to match the decor, but any color combination would look great!

Lets Get Started!
For all you visual learners, I have created a stitch repeat chart of the chevron pattern used in the chevron baby blanket below the written instructions.
NOTE: If you are working a dc row, make sure to increase and decrease in dc.
If you are working a sc row, make sure to increase and decrease in sc.
ROW 1: With CC (White) ch 109. 2 sc in the second ch from the hook, sc in the next 6 st, sc2tog, sc2tog, sc in the next 6 st, 2 sc in the next st, * 2 sc in the next st, sc in the next 6 st, sc2tog, sc2tog, sc in the next 6 st, 2 sc in the next st * repeat from * to * across. Ch 1 and turn. (108)
ROW 2: *2 sc in next st, sc in the next 6 st, sc2tog, sc2tog, sc in the next 6 st, 2 sc in next st * Repeat from * to * across. (108)
ROW 3: With MC (Pink) ch 3 and turn (counts as a dc), 1 dc in the first st, dc in the next 6 st, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc in the next 6 st, 2 dc in next st, * 2 dc in next st, dc in the next 6 st, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc in the next 6 st, 2 dc in next st* Repeat from * to * across. Ch 3 and turn. (108)
ROW 4: 1 dc in the first st, dc in the next 6 st, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc in the next 6 st, 2 dc in next st, *2 dc in next st, dc in next 6 st, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc in the next 6 st, 2dc in next st* Repeat from * to *across. Your last 2 dc in next st will be in the 3rd ch of your turning ch. (108)
ROW 5: With CC (White) ch 1 and turn, *2 sc in next st, sc in next 6 st, sc2tog, sc2tog, sc in the next 6 st, 2 sc in next st * Repeat from * to * across. Ch 1 and turn (108)
ROW 6: *2 sc in the next st, sc in the next 6 st, sc2tog, sc2tog, sc in the next 6 st, 2 sc in next st * Repeat from * to * across. (108)
ROW 7-78: Repeat rows 3&4 (Pink) and rows 5&6 (White). Do not cut yarn. Continue to make the sc boarder.
When working a sc row (CC), make sure to increase and decrease with sc.
Border:
Note: The boarder is only crocheted on 2 sides of the blanket.
The chevron pattern at the top and bottom of the blanket does not have a boarder.
The boarder will start at the beginning of the last row you just completed (Row 78).
Row 1: With CC (white) rotate your work so that your first st will be in the end of the final row you just completed (Row 78).
Ch 1 and sc evenly down the side of the blanket. Cut yarn and weave in ends. (116) (See note below)
NOTE: I placed 1 sc in the end of each sc row and 2 sc in the end of each of each dc row. (see photo below)
Row 2: Rotate your work clockwise (I say this because I crochet with my right hand) to begin the boarder on the opposite side. Ch 1 and place 1 sc in the end of the very first row of the blanket. Sc evenly across the other side of the blanket (same as row 1 of boarder) (116) Cut yarn and weave in ends.
You have just finished your Calming Chevron Baby Blanket!
