• Crochet Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm)
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 7 rows = 4 inches in pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Foundation Chain

Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 142. This will form the foundation for your blanket.

Step 2: First Row

1. In the second chain from the hook, make a single crochet (sc).
2. Continue to make 1 sc in each of the next 6 chains.
3. In the next chain, make 3 single crochets (this creates the peak of the chevron).
4. Make 1 sc in each of the next 6 chains.
5. Skip the next 2 chains.
6. Repeat from the beginning of this step (* to *) across the row.
7. End the row with 1 sc in each of the last 7 chains.
8. Turn your work.

Step 3: Second Row

1. Chain 1 to start the new row.
2. Make 1 sc in the first 7 single crochets from the previous row.
3. In the next single crochet, make 3 single crochets.
4. Make 1 sc in each of the next 6 single crochets.
5. Skip the next 2 single crochets.
6. Repeat from the beginning of this step (* to *) across the row.
7. End the row with 1 sc in each of the last 7 single crochets.
8. Turn your work.

Step 4: Continue the Pattern

Repeat Row 2 until your blanket measures approximately 36 inches from the starting edge. This will ensure that your blanket is a comfortable size for your baby.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

1. Once you reach the desired length, fasten off your yarn.
2. Weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle to give your blanket a polished look.
