Easy Chevron Crochet Pattern Baby Blanket
I think you’ll love how quick this blanket is to work up. It is made with a simple stitch repeat consisting of only single crochets. (one of my favorite stitches!) I tend to use single crochets a lot in my patterns like these crochet baby blanket patterns. Believe me; if you can make a single crochet, then you are good to go for this project!
The Yarn That Is Perfect for This Crocheted Blanket
In my opinion, the newest yarn from Lion Brand, Feels like Butta is the ideal yarn for a baby crochet blanket!
It is amazingly soft and is machine washable and dryable which is a must-have for a blanket that will be used constantly. It is a 100% polyester yarn and comes in over 30 different colors so that you’ll always be able to find the perfect color.
Use 3 Colors or Only 1 for This Chevron Blanket!
I know I used 3 colors for my blanket but if you prefer you can use only 1 color of Feels Like Butta and have way fewer ends to weave in. Lion Brand also sells bonus bundles of this yarn so you can get even bigger skeins to use.
The regular skeins are 100 grams vs the bonus bundles that have 275 grams. This whole blanket only takes 269 grams so you could actually get away with using one bonus bundle of this yarn as long as the gauge is followed correctly!
Take a Look at The Yarn Colors I Picked!
If you’d like to take a look at the yarn colors, I used I linked the yarn up below (affiliate links). Go ahead and check out each one to find the color that’s just for you.
I’ll explain a bit more about them a little further down, but I couldn’t wait to show you the actual colors!
Feels Like Butta – Ice Blue
Feels Like Butta – Pale Grey
Feels Like Butta – White
Neutral Colors Are Perfect for This Crochet Blanket!
For this blanket, I decided to go with soft neutral colors. I opted for Ice Blue, Pale Grey & White because I loved how muted they were! Feel free to pick any colors because I am pretty positive any shade from this line would look AMAZING!

Chevron Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern
Skill Level: Intermediate
Materials
- Feels Like Butta Yarn from Lion Brand Yarn in:
- Pale Grey – about 2 skeins or less than 200 grams
- White – about 2 skeins or less than 150 grams
- Ice – about 2 skeins or less than 200 grams
- Crochet hook size F 3.75 mm (or whatever hook size is needed for gauge)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Crochet Abbreviations
- ch = chain
- st = stitch
- sk = skip
- sc2tog = single crochet 2 stitches together
- sc = single crochet
Gauge
- 21 sts x 10 rows = 5” x 5″. Chain 21 and follow pattern as written below for 10 rows.
- Use a hook size that gets you this gauge. All crocheters crochet slightly different, be it tighter or looser, so you may need a different size hook to get the same gauge.
- Learn about why gauge is important when crocheting.
Finished Size
- Approximately 30″ X 42″ inch baby blanket
- How to Change Sizes: Change sizes by using a multiple of 21 + 20. So that means that you will need to use a starting chain in a multiple of 21. For example… 21,42,63,84,105,126,147,168,189,210,231,252,273 etc. then add 20 chains to that total.
Notes
- Written in standard US terms
- You will need to be familiar with how to change colors in crochet with this blanket.
Pattern Steps
The pattern as shown in pictures is using a starting chain of 105 + 20 (or you can use a multiple of 21 +20 starting chain to make it any size)
- Row 1: sk the first ch, sc 2 tog, sc once in each of the next 7 ch’s, sc 3 x in the next ch, *sc once in each of the next 9 ch’s, sk 2 ch’s, sc once in each of the next 9 ch’s sc 3x in the next ch, repeat from * across until you are left with 9 st’s, finish by sc once in each of the next 7 ch’s, sc 2 tog, turn.
- Row 2: Ch 1, sc 2 tog, sc once in each of the next 7 st’s, sc 3 x into the next st, *sc once in each of the next 9 st’s, sk 2 st’s, sc once in each of the next 9 st’s sc 3x in the next st, repeat from * until you are left with 9 st’s, sc once in each of the next 7 st’s, sc 2 tog, turn.
- Row 3: – repeat row 2 for the remainder of the pattern switching colors as indicated below.
Color Pattern for This Blanket
- Row 1 – 4 = grey
- Row 5- 16 = ice
- Row 17-18 = white
- Row 19 – 23 = grey
- Row 24-25 = white
- Row 26 – 37 = ice
- Row 38 – 39 = white
- Row 40 – 44 = grey
- Row 45-46 = white
- Row 47 – 58 = ice
- Row 59 – 60 = white
- Row 61 – 65 = grey
- Row 66 – 67 = white
- Row 68 – 79 = ice
- Row 80-84 = grey
Optional: Border of The Blanket
Do not fasten off yarn at the end of your project.
Join in the white yarn, turn your work and crochet sc’s evenly across the entire last row. At the end of the row work three sc’s into the last st to make a corner, continue sc down the whole side of the blanket evenly into the side of each row.
At every corner do three sc’s and continue this pattern along the entire outside of the blanket. You can do two rounds of a single crochet border or just one. Either way would look lovely!
After the border, there is only one thing left to do. Use a yarn needle to weave in all the ends of the blanket.
Blocking Your Blanket
The chevron stitch does tend to take on a wave-like appearance, so I’d recommend blocking your finished blanket. You can use the blocking techniques I talked about in my post “how to block crochet” to help you with this part.
You Are Done With Your Chevron Blanket for Baby!
See how easy it was? I love how this chevron stitch worked up with the higher peaks, which is what I was hoping to achieve. I designed something similar to my “Neutral Chevron Blanket,” which is also a crochet chevron blanket but with smaller peaks! If you love chevron patterns, I’d suggest checking that blanket out too.
Hi, when you make the swatch for the gauge it’s just a square or is it like the pattern?
Hi Mary,
It’s a 5″ x 5″ sample swatch that is worked up by chaining 21 and following the pattern as written for 10 rows.
If you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer them.
-Krista
I’m having a problem with the ending of each row. I never have enough stitches. I’m sure it’s because of the single crochet two together which I don’t understand. Then of course when I turn the project there’s not enough stitches in the first group. I ripped it out so many times but just can’t get it right.
Hi Nancy,
There is a video tutorial in the sidebar (on desktop) and if you are on mobile it will be at the bottom of the post that explains how to crochet the first few rows. For any clarifications, please feel free to ask!
Happy Crocheting!
Krista
I am new to crocheting and practiced this pattern and love it!! I am looking to make a wedding gift blanket could you suggest how many stitches I would need and how much yarn I would be needed?
Thank you!
Hi Paula,
You’d to start with 230 stitches by 100 rows to get a 50″ x 50″ wide blanket. If you are using the same yarn you’d need about 7 to 8 skeins of yarn.
Happy crocheting!
Krista
Thank you so much for your quick response!!!
You are welcome!
I’m having trouble changing colours. When I use a new colour the previous color can still be seen in the new row. How did you change the colours? I read the “how to change colors in crochet” article but i’m having trouble since I change the colors at the sc2tog.
Good morning,
When changing with the sc2tog it is very similar to a regular change. Before pulling through the last group of stitches you drop the old yarn color and pick up the new one to pull through to finish. Some color may show through on this but not too much.
Krista
I LOVE this blanket and have some yarn I was given. I’m new to crocheting, I’m will this pattern work with bigger yarn/hook, like 8mm hook?
Hi Lindsay,
It would work, but it will turn out bigger since you are using a bigger hook. I say go for it and see how it looks. 🙂
Happy Crocheting!
Krista
Awesome! I’ve been practicing with bernat baby blanket size 8mm and am Justin LOVE with the pattern so far, especially as a beginner! Thank you for posting it!!
You are welcome Lindsay! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, and also you can join our Facebook group to share your finished blanket too if you’d like.
Krista
Hi! First I love this pattern. So easy to follow. I made this pattern as the first his I EVER crocheted and it came out super small (like 23×30). I figured it was bc I was learning and probably right in my gauge. Im now a LOT more experienced and I’m trying to make it again. I m using a 4.5mm hook and I’m not right in my tension at all, but after 4 rows completed, it is only 23” wide and on track to be about 30” long (same as last time). What am I doing wrong. My test square came out and 5”wide and 3.5” high
Hi! The gauge is 21 stitches x 10 rows = 5” x 5″. I’d suggest trying a different sized crochet hook to get that gauge. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Krista
Hi thanks, but I still don’t think it’s me. I’m now a 5mm hook and added 21 stitches and I just hit the 30” (I’m now slightly over). There’s not way I could be this far off.
Hi Rebecca,
Since we all crochet a little differently or may use a different yarn then suggested in a pattern I always advise using a hook that is best for the individual to get the gauge of a pattern. I’d suggest making a gauge swatch of 21+20 by 10 rows This should yield a size of approximately 10″ wide by 5″ high. You may need to try this with a few hook sizes to get the gauge that’s needed. If you have any more questions I’d be happy to help.
Krista
For the three single crochets used in the border, is that for every peak at the top and bottom or just in the principal four outer corners of the blanket? Thanks.
Hi!
Just the corners. 🙂
Happy Crocheting!
Krista
Are you crocheting in the back loop only for this blanket? I watched your tutorial and that is what it looks like. Does that really make a difference in how this blanket looks? I am new to crocheting and trying to follow along.
Hi,
I am crocheting through both loops for this pattern. The first row is usually crocheting through only one loop on patterns because you are working into the initial chain. Hope this helps. 🙂
Krista
Thank you for responding so quickly. I am looking forward to starting this blanket.
You are welcome. I hope you enjoy this baby blanket! 🙂
Hi,I have a question about the multiples. The written pattern states multiples of 21+20 but in your tutorial you say 20+21. Which is right?
Hi Deloras,
It’s 21 + 20 for the repeat 🙂
Krista
Do you have a video of this being done? I have ripped out and started over about as many times as this thing has stitches. I keep doing something wrong.
Thanks
I do not but I can make one this week for you! 🙂
Here is the video tutorial! 🙂 https://youtu.be/CUHJ1uDgTJ0
Hi couple questions I’m using a 4 hook and do u do 2 together at the beinging of each round? I feel like it’s not lining up correctly? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.
Laura
Hi Laura,
You single crochet 2 together at the beginning and at the end. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Krista
When it says to crochet evenly across for the border, does it mean a sc in each stitch or continue with the skipping and increasing like the previous rows?
Good Morning!
You would sc into each st along the top and bottom and evenly along the long side of the blanket rows.
Krista
I’m gonna try this. Looks beautiful. Can’t wait to get at it. I’ll show u when I finish. Thx.
Thanks, Sandi!
I am so glad you like it and I can’t wait to see.
Happy crocheting!
Krista
You are right, the Feels Like Butta yarn is so nice!
🙂 I am so glad you like it!
Hi.
Thankyou for this pattern. I love it.
I’m using a larger hook…… a 5mm and I have increased the starting chain but the blanket is still only measuring 25” and not 30” as you stated. I know I’ve still to add the border but am I doing something wrong? Thankyou in advance.
Hi Dionne,
I suggest working up the gauge swatch pattern to get a perfect size. Happy Crocheting!
Krista
I have started this blanket, but it is not fillng in, there is a big space between the chain 3 and the skip 2
Hi Judith,
There is a small space between where the chain two is but it shouldn’t be significant. You can see the space in my images of the blankets to get an idea of what it should look like when it is worked up.
Happy Crocheting!
Krista
i want to print it and it won;t let me
Hi.
I suggest using printfriendly.com and occasionally I will have a PDF version of my patterns in my shop https://shop.easycrochet.com/ for purchase.
Happy Crocheting!
Krista
I have started this project a few times. Is it normal for it to curl so much, or i smy tension too tight?
Thank you
Hi Jessica,
It shouldn’t curl up that much (maybe a little) I’d try a looser tension to see if that helps. : )
Krista
Hello!
Could you please tell me what sized yarn you use? I’m not seeing it anywhere.
Thank you!
Hi Char,
The Feels like Butta yarn is considered a four weight. 🙂
Happy Crocheting!
Krista
I am excited to make this for my first baby! I am a little newer at crocheting… so maybe it is just me but I don’t get where it says Row 3: – repeat row 3 for the remainder of the pattern switching colors as indicated below.
Should row 3 have other instructions? Or does it mean repeat row 2 for the rest of the pattern?
HI Ashly,
It was a typo. It is fixed now. Thanks!
Krista
Row 3 on this pattern say to repeat Row 3 for the rest of the blanket, changing colors. Shouldn’t it say: Repeat Row 2?
Hi Linda,
It was a typo. I fixed it. 🙂 Thanks!
Krista
I have started this chevron baby blanket three times. I am not getting a V pattern. You said you updated the pattern. Was there an error and where is the update?
Hi Kathleen,
The V pattern is created by single crocheting three stitches in one stitch (top of the zig zag) and skipping two stitches at the bottom.
I updated the pattern with the correct hook size (if you are referring to the comment section) It was left out when it was originally published.
Krista
What size hook did you use? like the look of this blanket
Hi Mary!
Opps. I forgot that part! I used a 3.75 mm. I updated the pattern too.
Happy Crocheting!
Krista
I am interested in making the baby chevron blanket, but I’m not seeing what size crochet hook to use?
Thanks Cindy
I used a 3.75 mm
