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/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!

You will need to be familiar with how to change colors in crochet with this blanket.

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.

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 chevron but with smaller peaks! If you love chevron patterns, I’d suggest checking that blanket out too.
I am interested in making the baby chevron blanket, but I’m not seeing what size crochet hook to use?
Thanks Cindy
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 used a 3.75 mm
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 by accident when it was originally published.
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?
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 Linda,
It was a typo. I fixed it. 🙂 Thanks!
Krista
HI Ashly,
It was a typo. It is fixed now. Thanks!
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 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
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 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
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
You are right, the Feels Like Butta yarn is so nice!
🙂 I am so glad you like it!
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
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
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
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
