Okay, we will admit it. We love the a good crochet chevron pattern! So, when Rose needed to whip up a quick housewarming gift, she jumped right into these bright colors and crocheted up three different versions of the chevron.
We are all familiar with the traditional chevron stitch and you probably have a chevron afghan tucked away somewhere. Well, a classic chevron never goes out of style, so dig that blanket out and proudly display it.
Rose crocheted one dishcloth with the traditional chevron, then crocheted one with the raised chevron pattern, and finished with the sharp chevron pattern. They are all stunning and would look great in any home. I can’t decided which one is my favorite!

Tips and Other Ideas:
- Want to make a blanket? Just take any of these basic patterns and go bigger by just repeating the dishcloth pattern – so if you want a bigger Sharp Chevron blanket, repeat the chain 30 until you reach your desired size and then follow the instructions and use your new measurement.
- These look great in stripes too! Just switch out your color at the end of a row or a few rows.
