Did you make something using my Chevron Stitch Tutorial and want the edges to be straight? Straight edges with chevron makes any item look more professional and polished. That's why I created this tutorial and pattern technique to show you how to add straight edges to your chevron stitching.

Check out the post on {My Chevron Stitch Here}

Use this stitch to make the {Free Chevron Bible Cover}

Materials:
H Crochet Hook
Worsted Weight Yarn

Abbreviation Guide:

DC = Double Crochet

SC = Single Crochet

HDC = Half Double Crochet

Note: I created this stitch, if you use it in a pattern you create, please link back to this post and do not use my photo or recreate using my idea. Thank you!

Starting at the top of row 1, attach with color of choice hdc in same st,

*hdc next 2 sts, sc in next 3 sts, hdc next 2 sts, dc in next st* Repeat to end and on the opposite side. (I recommend watching my YouTube Video on this)

4. Insert hook into next st yarn over and pull through (5 loops on hook)

5. Yarn over and pull through 4 loops (2 loops left on hook)

Here is the pattern you will be repeating to get the chevron look. I created this so if you use it in a pattern you create, please link back to this post and do not use my photo or recreate using my idea. Thank you!

Free Blanket Crochet Pattern: Calming Seas

I am so excited to share this beautiful crochet blanket pattern for beginners. It could be a baby blanket crochet pattern, or a crochet throw blanket for your living room like mine! This is a pattern I made up shortly after I learned to crochet using the half double crochet stitch. It's very simple and I think it turned out great. It is usually draped over my love seat in the living room or on my rocking chair. I hope you enjoy this and share the link with friends!
