About The Stitch
The chevron stitch is a classic crochet pattern known for its zigzag design, created using a combination of increases and decreases. It’s a versatile stitch that works well for blankets, scarves, sweaters, and even home decor.
Pattern Notes

Common Mistakes and Fixes
- Edges Look Uneven? Double-check that you’re always increasing at the peaks and decreasing at the valleys.
- Stitches Are Too Tight or Too Loose? Adjust your tension or try using a different hook size.
- The Chevron Pattern Isn’t Forming? Ensure that your stitch count is correct and that you’re following the increase/decrease pattern properly.
