Summer time is a fantastic time to celebrate chevrons and sunny days! Seeing Chevron is a quick little knit, sure to brighten up your day and bust a little stash.

Only 60 yards of the main color, and 30 yards of the contrasting color are needed, so who doesn’t have time to churn out a few chevrons for summer?

New to colorwork? This pattern is the perfect intro to stranded knitting.

Pattern Tips:

  • Using a blockable wool is recommended.

  • Fair Isle/Intarsia tends to knit up tightly. Common techniques are to knit loosely, go up a needle size for the colorwork portion or keep the knitting turned inside-out as you work to give the traveling yarn a little extra room to stretch.
