Much like the granny square, the Chevron afghan (also known as zig-zag afghan) is a hallmark of crochet that even most non-crafters recognize. After all, whose grandma didn’t have one of these afghans on the back of her couch?! You see Chevron afghans all the time in the background of tv and movies, and there’s a good reason for that! They have a unique look, fun design, and they’re easy to make!

The blanket uses the chain stitch and the double crochet stitch. A full/detailed list of abbreviations and supplies can be found in the pattern.

Gauge: 3 dc and 2 rows = about 1 inch

Finished measurements are about About 43 inches width by 53 inches length (or longer if more rows are added, i.e. the rainbow afghan, which measures about 64 inches length).
