So, after numerous attempts and watching several tutors, I was finally able to get the chevron stitch right. Thanks to Bella Coco, my work came out right. You're the best! I'm so excited!!!
If you are a beginner please watch these videos to help you on your crochet journey. I began a year ago and I feel so confident in my crochet now , I love my hobby and it’s something I get to share in the way of giving gifts to family and friends. This is my favourite pattern for blankets and I know when it’s not working to come back and watch the video as a reminder. Thank you Sarah-Jane for all you do in this community .
I have tried different tutorials and after numerous failed attempts I came across your tutorial and I got it right first time. Thank you so much for sharing.
I want to say THANK YOU! I have been fighting with everything I have to get this pattern and no matter how many videos I watched I just couldn’t get it... until this video, so clear and slow enough for my brain to process it ❤️
I have to say Thank you so much !!! I've tried to learn this pattern for so long and just couldn't get it. My fiance wanted a scarf made if this pattern and I felt so bad I couldn't make it for him. I saw your video and it just came so clear to me. Your instructions were clear and easy to follow. Once I understood why I was doing things a certain way I got it. Making his scarf now... Thank you, thank you. Great video.
Decided to crochet while stuck at home recovering from cancer plus the stupid pandemic lockdown. Wanted to do a chevron design. Did a search and your video was the first. Its fantastic and once I got hold of the turns - piece of cake. Thank you - from the USA
This video just did me a world of good. With no hair left un-pulled and no curse word left unsaid, I was about to give up on a project that one of my friends challenged me to take on. Not no more! Thanks so much for your very well-done tutorial!
There are a ton of videos out there for all the stitches there are. But yours are the best ones because of your soft voice and you explain every stitch so easily for us all to learn. I always look forward to your videos. 🦋🌻🌹
I absolutely love your tutorials. I've only been doing this (crochet) since the start of the year but have successfully created a few blankets following your tutorials ♡
Thank you very much for this tutorial. It may sound silly, but I have tried this stich many times over the past decade to no avail. Thank you for uploading this and breaking it down. You started with rounds of 25, but using the principals you taught I have been able to work in rounds of 11. Thank you for your help. It means a lot me. I am trying to recreate some of my Grandma's stiches with her hooks. Your help with the chevron stich makes me feel closer to her. Thank you & blessings.
Thank you so much for this video. I attempted this pattern so many times following different instructors to no avail. I was about to give up and then I found your video and for the very first time, I was finally able to achieve it. You are a fantastic teacher. You not only explain it in easy to follow instructions but you can actually see the stitches and chains easily. I am so excited to finish my throw blanket!
It's really easy with your tutorial. I want to recreate the blanket my mother made for my daughter. she's about to have my first grand baby so I want the blanket to match. Thank you for the pattern!
Thank you so much! I had done this years ago.... needed a brain reboot 🤓 You helped with clear and verbal and visual instructions. Now, if I can just remember to keep proper count, will have straight edges.... Thanks again - MJ
I also like how the work is divided up into 11 stitches up then 3 crochet in the same stitch then 11 stitches to the bottom. I check my stitches every 22 dc rather than waiting till I get 100 crocheted to find out if my count is off
thank you Bella Coco for definitively helping me to get going on a long overdue project. You've answered all my questions in relation to chevron patterns. Also, never knew there was a divergence between stitches in UK and US.
THANK YOU!!! Anyone else here after failing the chevron cushion exercise in the DK Little Course in Crochet?? Now I see why nothing about their pattern worked / made sense. They skipped the extra stiches on the ends - but more importantly, their pattern calls for 81 chain and Vs built in multiples of 18. This works out as 4.5 Vs, rather than a solid 4 or 5. This means the idea of turning the work and repeating the row makes no sense because everything is inverted - and one side of the work grows out to the side rather than being straight. I don't know how that passed editing! Wasted two hours of my life on that before hitting RUclips. And it's so easy, when your instructor talks sense and can understand maths!
@@bellacococrochet how long a starting chain would you suggest for a 16-inch-wide cushion cover? I tried Vs of 20 stiches and came out a little over an inch too short. I think your pattern in 25s might be too long?
Hello! I love your tutorials, as a beginner at crochet I appreciate how much you explain! I also have a request to ask of your masterful skills. It is called a Ripple stitch and is much like the chevron stitch but instead of a point its rounded. Again thank you for how well you explain and show the smallest details. Good Luck!
Thank you so much for this video. You are my absolute favorite instructor, bar none! I can always follow what you say and I've definitely improved my technique for even stitches and nicely laid out work since I've subscribed to your channel. Thank you again SJ, you are the bomb!
Thank you, your tutorial was so easy to follow I look at others and you explain it so well. Can't wait to start making my blanket. And see what other patterns you have.
What a lifesaver you are! I have been trying to learn the chevron stitch for months. There are so many styles and I am new to crochet. This was so helpful and had me crocheting chevron's in no time. Thank you so much for this wonderful video!
Your tutorials are superb! I have learned so much from them as I can follow a video much easier than a pattern. Thank you for putting the effort in to making these amazing tutorials :)
I have the task of duplicating my grandmother's chevron blankets. My family wants the stiches exact. (No pressure 😮) Yours is very close but the peaks and valleys in hers are a few stitches shorter. Plus my grandmother looks as if she picked up the back loops only to also create a ridge throughout. I have my work cut out for me. She passed in 1980❤ Thanks for this tutorial.
I absolutely love your tutorials! you are the only You Tuber I can follow.. can't wait to see my zig zag baby blanket complete because its looking beautiful at the minute.. massive thanks to you XxXxX
Ashley Romano, it's going beautifully. I changed up the turning stitch. I chain two & turn, then make it 2dc together in the first stitch, the follow the pattern as stated otherwise.
Joy Mundy so excited to hear! I'm new to crocheting but am a fast learner, want to make this for my mom for her new bedroom. Can't wait to go to the craft store tomorrow and get colors!
I am making this blanket for my adult son. Forest Green, Navy and a beautiful variegated. 6 rows green, 3 navy, 2 variegated, 3 navy, then repeat. I hope he loves it as much as I do. Green is his favorite color.
Joy Mundy if your making it I hope he does! I'm doing coral and a deep turquoise with white and small grey accents, so I'm thinking 3 white, 6 turquoise, 3 white, 2 grey, 3white, 6 coral and repeat!
Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial. I have completed my blanket but it curls length ways. I have stretched it out but it still curls along the peak and trough.
I am in the same boat. I should've started with you. Your videos are always good. I have worked on this off and on all day. Frogged it multiple times and still coming up short on the end. I'm going to follow your tutorial tomorrow. I know I can do it.
I've done a few projects now and have been happy with the finished results on all of them so I thought it time I tried a chevron pattern. How did you know!? ☺️
Thank you for your time and video I have tried to crochet this stitch for years and finally I have mastered it from your video.thanks once again from Australia 😊
I love all your tutorials. I am making a baby blanket for my very first nephew, and I was wondering if you could make a tutorial for how to make alphabet granny squares.
Hello Sarah-Jayne Please do a turorial on how to change yarn colour while you crochet chevron pattern. I hope you understand my English. My English is not good. Thank you
+ReginaCrisis Hi Regina. There are many ways to change yarn color and there are as many videos showing how this can be done. If you haven't already, I suggest looking for one of those videos. Just type in 'crochet yarn change' and choose one that is easiest for you. Good luck!
Love the video. Trying to make blanket and following your directions. However, when I count my 11 and get to the peak, the holes are not lined up and when I get to the bottom to skip 2 the spacing does not match. Am I missing something?
@@bellacococrochet I am a beginner and know only a few simple stitches. You showing and explaining makes things so easy, thank you again. This is a pattern my mom made and asked if I knew how to make it. Now making a small toddler blanket in this pattern.
I see a lot of people are having this same issue but I haven't seen it explained so I will ask again lol. I am trying to make a blanket so I chained 250 (+5) and I did the first row perfect like your sample to the 50th chain however since I'm not finished my row And wasn't read to turn my work I figured I would just continue repeating the same exact thing you showed for the next set of 50 but I end up with not enough stitches. Is there anyway you can show a longer piece or explain what is going wrong here? Thank you🙂
Go watch @thecrochetcrowd same video. It may be easier to get. I struggled also when trying. You'll also possibly get an answer in their channel easier. 😉
I wonder, would you be able to substitute the stitches for the Single/Double (US) with Double/Treble (US) so the blanket worked up faster? Love love love your tutorials, keep up the amazing work and Congrats on your Marriage :) Bella Coco
A UK double is a US single, they are the same stitch just different terminology - this chart may help you :- bellacococrochet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Conversion-chart.png :)

How many people grew up with afghans with this pattern in two shades of brown and one yellow? 70's baby
80s baby here and so did i🙂
I always figured that those yucky colors were cheaper and that's why my grandmother used them...
So, after numerous attempts and watching several tutors, I was finally able to get the chevron stitch right. Thanks to Bella Coco, my work came out right. You're the best! I'm so excited!!!
Hi I wantvto try this stitch but I don't know where the repeat starts on the base row after I chain the multiple of 25 plus 5 . I want to chain 200
@@kariwadge4883She states in the video exactly where the repeat starts. Chaining 200 will not work. It has to be a multiple of 25.
25 x 8 is 200!
