BEGINNER-FRIENDLY CHEVRON CROCHET BLANKET!
Create nostalgic vibes with the Retro Mood Afghan, a beginner friendly crochet chevron blanket! Featuring easy stitches and unique construction, this bold and beautiful blanket will be a statement piece in your home that will never go out of style.

The Retro Mood Afghan features a classic chevron stitch that is easy and satisfying to crochet using basic stitches. Instead of working the blanket from the bottom up, the blanket is crocheted in long strips of alternating self-striping yarn. These long strips are then seamed together vertically to create a modern yet classic chevron blanket. Finish your unique blanket with fun tassels!
