Chevron Crochet Blanket Patterns
Often, in the crochet community, you will hear designers refer to a chevron crochet blanket pattern as โpeaks (points) and valleys (dips).โ
This is a common term because it is easier for crocheters to understand that peaks are increases and valleys are decreases, which creates a chevron pattern.
Is the Ripple Stitch the Same as Chevron?
Some similar patterns to chevrons are referred to as โripples.โ They are close in the way how they are created, but ripples are wavier in shape.
The ripple pattern is rounded for the โpeaks and valleys.โ While in the chevron, the โpeaks and valleysโ are more of a sharp/zigzag pattern.

Tips for Chevron Crochet Blankets
Choosing the Best Stitches
Chevrons are great for creating textures in crochet. They can be used in a pattern with one (or multiple) stitches. However, before starting your blanket, check the pattern for the stitches used to make sure it’s something you will enjoy.
Here are a few of the most common stitches used in chevron blankets:
- Chains and double crochet stitches: this is the most common and easier way to make a chevron blanket.
- Chains and single crochet: with this combination, you can work in back or front loops and create fancy blankets with beautiful, ridged textures.
- Chains and half double crochet: this combination will look great with color changes.
- Granny stitch: a classic stitch that will look great in a vintage or a farmhouse style blanket.
- Bobble and puff stitches: a great way to add amazing textures to chevron blankets.
Choosing the Best Yarn
You can make chevron blankets with any kind of yarn. But the best yarns are the self-striping or variegated worsted weight (#4) yarns.
The reason why those type of yarns are the best is because of the “V” nature of the chevrons and ripples, it gives it an amazing waving or zigzag look.
And another advantage of self-striping yarns is that they do the color changes for you. So there is no hassle with weaving in a lot of ends.
Final Thoughts
There you have a list of the most beautiful chevron crochet blanket patterns. Whether you are a beginner or a more experienced crocheter, a pattern in this list will sure catch your heart (and hook!).
If you have never made a blanket, I recommend choosing one with simple stitches, such as single or double crochet. These stitches are not only beginner-friendly but also a way to make a fancy-looking blanket that you will love.
