Knit this funky modern colour block Chevron Blanket with me!
Makes for a perfect baby gift in bright modern colours. It's knitted in garter stitch, using a simple increase and decrease to create the points and troughs of the chevron.

    What a lovely pattern. I’m glad you’ve chosen to upload patterns on your channel, because I remember when you didn’t post patterns just yarn. I think this kinda content should help your channel grow. Especially as you’re very good at teaching and explaining things that new knitters might get caught out on. Keep up the great work. 👏🏼🧶

    Ive now completed one rug and on to my second. I really love this pattern however I must say putting stitch markers at the start of each pattern sequence (18) stitches was a life saver. If I miss counted it meant I only had to involve the last 18 stitches. This really worked for me and meant I could zone out in front of the TV a little easier. Ha ha ha

    Personally I use acrylic for it’s easy care nature so I’m not really best placed to reccomend a natural fibre yarn. Bamboo yarn or a bamboo cotton mix could be a nice soft option.

    My knitting and crochet work is back to basics since I had a stroke……. All I do is baby blankets and baby hats etc. I use mostly acrylic and I find them lovely and soft. I agree with the bamboo ranges , they are lovely and soft also but I think my favourite wools are Debbi Bliss. She has a very wide range of wools, very very soft and squishy. The draw back for me would be the cost of these natural wools, merino etc.

    It’s thicker yarn than I used so if you cast on the same amount of stitches as I did your blanket will be bigger - the 7 skeins you have will more than likely be enough, if you want the blanket the same size as mine you’ll need to cast on less stitches as you’re working with thicker yarn.
