Chevron Crochet







Chevron crochet, sometime called crochet zig-zags, is a fun and easy stitch.  It works really well with stripes and looks particularly good if you are making a blanket or a scarf, but I have also seen it successfully incorporated into tops and skirts.

You should enjoy this stitch.  It's satisfyingly easy and looks good

You make the chevrons very simply by increasing and then decreasing at regular intervals along each row, making as many or as few plain stitches as you fancy in between, and it works with any plain stitch and some lacy stitches too.

How to work chevron crochet stitch

There are many variations to this stitch technique, but the one in the photo is worked in trebles (US double crochet) with 3 stitches between each decrease/increase

Make a base chain with a multiple of 10 stitches +3

This will give you rows of 10 stitches +1

I've used UK terminology with US terminology in brackets

For instructions how to do treble 3 together (double crochet 3 together)  see the link to decreasing in the above paragraph

Abbreviations

ch = chain

tr = treble (US double crochet, or dc)

tr3tog = treble 3 together (US dc 3 together)

tch = turning chain and refers to the chain stitches made at the beginning of a row

st = stitch

sts = stitches

Instructions
