Making a Easy Crochet Chevron

Getting Started:

With yarn color A, make a chain of 180 stitches.

Row 1 (Right Side):

Single crochet (sc) in the second chain from the hook, then sc in the next chain.

Skip one chain, then sc in the next 11 chains.

Make 3 sc in the next chain to create a corner, then sc in the next 11 chains.

*Skip 2 chains, then sc in the next 11 chains.

Make 3 sc in the next chain, then sc in the next 11 chains.*

Repeat from * to * across the row.

Skip one chain, then sc in the last 2 chains. Turn your work. You should have 7 zigzags.

Rows 2–5:

Skip the next sc.

Work in the back loops only: sc in the next 11 sc, make 3 sc in the next sc, then sc in the next 11 sc.

Rows 6–10:

With yarn color B, repeat Row 2 five times.

Continuing with Different Colors:

Final Rows:

Finishing:

Fasten off the yarn.

Weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle.
