You’ll Love Making This Super Fast Pattern Using Chunky yarn!
If you love chunky yarn, love easy crochet stitches and want to work up a crochet blanket fast then this is the chevron pattern for you!! This chunky ripple pattern is an easy project that works up pretty quickly.
If you’re looking for more quick projects, then you might also like my post about free crochet patterns that use bulky yarn.
Make This Chevron Blanket With a Half Double Crochet Stitch
This blanket is a half double crochet chevron pattern, which is a little different than most of the other chevrons you may see. I previously had designed a single crochet chevron which you may remember from before.
The reason I decided to use the half double crochet is the hdc stitch in combination with the bulky yarn is because it works up so QUICK!
This throw is a great pattern to mindlessly watch Netflix with, carry with you anywhere or crochet up quickly if you’re in a time crunch because of the ease of the stitch. You’ll love it, promise!
The Yarn That’s Perfect for This Chunky Chevron Throw
You will also need Hometown Yarn by Lion Brand in Aspen Tweed, which is a beautiful neutral color to work with and goes with almost any decor!
This particular bulky yarn is so soft and can be found pretty easily at most craft stores and online too, which is excellent if you want to work on this asap!

I started this almost two years ago, and it has been sitting waiting to be shared! I could blame a lot of things on this beauty of a chunky chevron blanket being unfinished, but it’s because it got lost in my yarn stash basket.
Yep, two years immersed under the yarn stash. I hope you finish it faster than me!

Chunky Chevron Crochet Blanket Free Pattern
Skill Level: Intermediate
Materials
- As written you will need less than 840 yards of Lion Brand Hometown Yarn. I used the colorway, Aspen Tweed or any super bulky 6 yarn.
- Size N crochet hook 9.00 MM.
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Here are the abbreviations I use:
- ch = chain
- hdc = half double crochet
- st = stitch
- hdc2tog = half double crochet two together or half double crochet decrease
Gauge
- Approximately 6 stitches for every 2″
- Each stitch is approximately 3/4″ high
Sizing
- As written 52″ in height and 42″ wide
- To adjust the size work the starting chain in a multiple of 17 (51,68,85,102,119,136,153,170,187,204,221,238,255,272,289,306,323,340,357, etc.) and add 16 chains to whatever multiple of 17 you have chosen so the pattern is worked in a multiple of 17+16 stitches.

Pattern Steps
Pattern is worked in a multiple of 17+ 16 stitches
FOUNDATION ROW: ch 101 or whatever length you have chosen.
ROW 1: working (in the second chain from hook) hdc2tog, 1 hdc in each of next 5 ch’s, hdc 3 times in next ch, *1 hdc in each of the
next 7 ch, skip next 2 ch, 1 hdc in next 7 ch, hdc 3 times in next ch. Repeat from * across until you are left with 7 ch’s, hdc once into each of the next 5 ch’s then hdc those
last two remaining ch’s together (aka hdc2tog), turn.
ROW 2: ch 1, starting in the first st hdc2tog, 1 hdc in each of next 5 st’s, hdc 3 times in next st, *1 hdc in each of the next 7 st, skip next 2 st, 1 hdc in each of the next 7 st, hdc 3 times in next st. Repeat from * across until you are left with 7 st then hdc once into each of the next 5 st’s then hdc those last two remaining stitches together (aka hdc2tog), turn.
ROW 3 – 47: repeat row 2.
Finishing: Fasten off yarn and weave in loose ends throughout the blanket with a yarn needle. You may need to block your blanket to get it to lay flat.
I added a small number of fringe tassels at each corner by cutting 4 12″ pieces of yarn. Fringe is optional and can be left out of the pattern. A tutorial on how to make fringe can be found “here“.
You Finished Your Chunky Chevron Blanket!
I hope you enjoyed this chunky chevron blanket crochet pattern and if you have any questions, please feel free to comment below.
as you were writing about this afghan pattern you said This is a half double crochet chevron pattern, yet the instructions were for a single crochet pattern.Do we just change the sc to a hdc or is this the wrong instructions? thanks for all your freebies they are beautiful
Hi Dorothy,
I used the hdc stitch throughout. I fixed it in the pattern. Thank you for finding this! (The sc stitch would work too though!)
Happy Crocheting!

About how many balls of Hometown yarn?
You will need approximately 840 yards of this yarn so it would depend on what size ball (and color) of the hometown yarn you are going to use. I suggest checking the package so you get the right amount of yarn.
Row 1 at the end says 2school tog. Probably should be 2hd c tog?
Thanks Laurie! Fixed! 🙂
hi ! i have a question ! I am using bulky yarn, size 6, and a 9mm hook…. The the stitch height matches the gauge you have provided. However, the length is not. I am getting about 6 stitches per ever 3 inches. I crochet pretty tightly and I wouldnt be able to go any tighter without ruining the blanket lol… are you sure this gauge is accurate ??
I’m guessing in your abbreviation section hdc= single crochet is supposed to be hdc= half double crochet.
Hi Robin!
Fixed it! Thanks. 🙂
is 840 yds correct?? most skeins of this yarnis 64 yds.. that would be 13 skeins.. just checking..
Hi Kimberly,
Yep! You will need 13 skeins! Happy Crocheting!
Krista
Hi… I want to make this afghan 45×55 how can I adjust for that…16 or 17 stitches adds 7 inches..so that’s too much…I’m starting so plz help me adjust..thanks..kim
Hi there, love this pattern. However, with 101 sts, I do not have 2 remaining in first
row for hdc2tog.
What’s wrong ?
Marry
Hi!
It is very easy to skip stitches or add stitches with chevrons. I would suggest using stitch markers or double checking your #’s. Happy Crocheting!
Krista
I am having the same issue as Marry. I have done this 7 times and never have two stitches left over. I crochet 7 and that is it. I’m starting with 51 and adding 16.
Hi,
I fixed the wording in the pattern to make it a little easier. You will repeat the pattern from * until you have 7 st’s then hdc once in each of the next 5 then you will be left with 2 st’s which you will hdc2tog.
Krista
I am having trouble understanding how to make my blanket larger. I am making a different pattern/yarn for one granddaughter and it is 46″ x 66. I want this one to be close to that but not sure how many additional chains to add. Can you help?
Hi Loma,
There are approximately 6 stitches for every 2″ of the blanket. So I would figure how long it needs to be based on that then use the multiple of 17 that is closest to that #. Hope that helps!
Krista
Thanks for sharing this pattern. I am excited to make it, however I have a question. You list in the materials section that you need a 9 mm size N crochet hook, yet you link to a size N 10mm crochet hook throughout the blog post. Can you clarify which hook is neccessay to get the correct gauge? 9 or 10?
Hi Heather,
Sometimes in N can be a 9mm or a 10mm hook depending on where it is made at. You will need a 9mm for this pattern. I will check my affiliate links to make sure the correct size is listed. (sometimes they change it on me, and I have no control) Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Krista
Thanks Krista! As soon as I finish my WIP, I’m making this!!!
You are welcome, Heather! Be sure to share over in the RPD Facebook group when you are done!

I have tried to start this blanket twice now. Both times I chained 135 (17 x 7 plus 16) and both times I ended up with 9 chains, not 7, at the end.
The first time I thought I misunderstood the first step (I crocheted 2 hdcs together in 1 chain). So on the second attempt I did that step in the second and third chains from the hook, but I still ended up with 9 chains at the end, not 7. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong?
Hi Valerie, I would suggest using stitch markers with a chevron. It is so easy to skip stitches or add them without knowing.
You are correct about the first HDC2tog step that you would need to hdc the second and third chains from the hook together as one.
Happy crocheting!
Krista
In row 2 and on when you say hdc 3 times in next stitch, that means I’m hdc over the 3 hdc in the row below?
Hi Nicole,
No, that means you will do 3 half double crochets in the next stitch of the row.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Krista
Do you have a video showing how to make it?
Hi Nicole,
This should help. https://youtu.be/5pDYfohDnKQ
Happy Crocheting!
Hello,
I am a beginner at crocheting and was curious the difference between when it says 1 half double crochet and half double crochet. Any guidance on this will be fantastic, thanks!
Hi Ana,
There is no difference. I just wrote 1 hdc in each of the next X amount of stitches to clarify the details a bit more. Happy Crocheting!
Krista
Hi,
Not getting that you start with 101 stitch chain. That is not a multiple of 17. What am I missing?
Thanks!
Hi Kim,
To start the pattern you use a multiple of 17 then add 16 chains to that multiple. I started with 85 then added 16 to that.
Happy Crocheting!
Hi! Thanks so much for sharing this pattern. I am making it in a lovely red. A question about the dimensions: are the straight ends the sides or the zig zags? I wasn’t sure which should be the longer end.
Hi Emily,
The zigzags are the ends of the blanket and the straight sides are the long edges. Happy Crocheting!
Krista
Hi, I absolutely love this pattern and chose the exact color as well. I am having issues however. I have taken it apart numerous times and keep recounting. I think I have figured out what my problem may be. When starting row 2, you say “starting in the first stitch HDC2TOG”. Does the chain 1 count as a stitch or does it mean to start in the actual 1st stitch?
Thanks so much for your help!
Hi Karen,
The chain 1 does not count as st so you’d start in the actual first st of the row. Hope this helps! Happy Crocheting.
Krista
