For a cuddly and colorful blanket to brighten up any winter blues, look no further than our new Chevron Blanket in Merino No. 5. The signature “zig-zag” look of chevron is a result of combining simple increases and decreases throughout each row, working up into an impressive finished product that is lots of fun to knit. If you’ve mastered knit and purl, this project is a great next step!

Whether you opt for a throw or baby blanket, the design’s garter stitch stripe gives the perfect amount of texture to keep it exciting, so even going monochromatic is a great choice. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, try experimenting with even more colors than designated in the pattern — hello, next stash busting project!
