- Knit this funky modern colour block Chevron Blanket with me!
Makes for a perfect baby gift in bright modern colours. It's knitted in garter stitch, using a simple increase and decrease to create the points and troughs of the chevron. This is a great blanket for a beginner who has mastered the basic knit stitch and wants to tackle something slightly more adventurous.

Excellent job👍I’ll make my scrubs a blanket for me,many thanks ❤
I would call this less modern and more retro. Very 70s ! Love it
A very well explained tutorial - thank you! Looking forward to more tutorials from you!🌻🧶
BRILLIANT TEACHER! The best on the internet and I have been reading hundreds of them up to now. Thanx
Thank you 🥰
Ive now completed one rug and on to my second. I really love this pattern however I must say putting stitch markers at the start of each pattern sequence (18) stitches was a life saver. If I miss counted it meant I only had to involve the last 18 stitches. This really worked for me and meant I could zone out in front of the TV a little easier. Ha ha ha
Love this tip. I always get a bit distracted so anything complicated makes me nervous! Will use this for sure!
What a lovely pattern. I’m glad you’ve chosen to upload patterns on your channel, because I remember when you didn’t post patterns just yarn. I think this kinda content should help your channel grow. Especially as you’re very good at teaching and explaining things that new knitters might get caught out on. Keep up the great work. 👏🏼🧶
Thank you! Yes I’ve decided to take a different direction with the channel now instead of what I originally planned 😀
Great pattern and amazing teacher, thank you
Thank you so much 😀🧶
I've made this blanket using up all my leftover yarn. It looked wonderful! This is my go to pattern for afghans!
That’s brilliant to hear! 🥰
Can i ask if you did the same size as above ? Am wanting to hav a go but just make it bigger
Did you do solid color stripes? Or truly scrappy??
I have a lot of scraps, but it includes small amounts and a lot of variegated. I was wondering if it would look good, or if the pattern would get lost
@@TheJestersYarnhave you started yours yet? Was thinking of doing the same thing but haven't found an answer to your question yet
Thank you 🙌 Excellent tutorial. I can’t wait to make this 🧶❣️
I've done this stitch in Crochet but in knitting, it has a 3D effect. Thanks!
Your explanation is so simple and easy to understand…..thank you for sharing 👍💐
I love the way you explained this blanket pattern and I'm about to start my blanket now. Great job explaining. Rene from Cape Town South Africa
Thank you! 🥰
Another great project! Thanks for showing sewing in the ends cause I struggle with that also.
It’s on my list to film as a standalone video too 🥰
Great pattern 1 day
Love the Chevron blanket completed my second. I too put a marker at the beginning of each pattern. This was a game changer for me. Thanks for the great and easy to follow tutorials
Hi Laurelin, your chevron blanket is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your tutorial and for showing how to weave in your ends as that's another new technique for me to learn. X
It’s a pleasure! 🥰

je ne trouve pas la traduction
Thanks for sharing I've been knitting all my life also having knitting machines throughout my life now i just enjoy hand knitting and it helps with my arthritis in my wrists I've done many patterns but seeing your tutorial i was amazed at the way you did the last stitch i had never thought of doing that before and I totally agree with you it does make a neater edge but I found by knitting into the back of the first stitch on the next row there's no loop thank you so much for this beautiful pattern 💕💓💞👍🌟👏
Love this! Tried a chevron in crochet once and it just was not cute, but this is perfect! Thank you! ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for sharing 😊
Lovely pattern.
Thank you! 😊🧶
Well explained and straight to point, easy to understand, I have watched so many this really catches my attention, thanks for sharing this tutorial
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! 🙂🧶
Thank you!! I love it!! And I think I understand everything up to the weaving in of the tails...
..which I just couldn't see on my phone. LOL
But I think I can wing it, or watch again on my computer
Oooooh i have yarn in shades of turqupise and aqua + white and need to get a sandy colour.... i think my seascape inspired blanket will work well in this pattern..... adding this to my growing to do list.
And you are really easy to follow...you explain very clearly for beginners.
Sounds absolutely gorgeous 🧶😀
Amazing blanket great video well explained thank you so much 🎉
It’s a pleasure! Happy Knitting 🧶😀
very helpful!
🥰
Beautiful ❤pattern mam. I love it.👍❤️🙏🇨🇦
Thank you!! 🥰🧶
I made a note of this the other day and wrote "kfb". I immediately said "oh no" bc I kept writing kfb instead of kbl in other patterns. For the first time it really WAS kfb!
Yay!!! 🥳
Nice.thanks.
🥰
I have also tied my ends together after changing the yarn so that the stitches aren't quite so loose as I knit along.
I find they tighten up nicely once I do knit them but whatever works for you is great too!
I found it useful to put a stitch marker after each of the 18th stitch pattern repeat. Seems to work for me.
If that works for you then fantastic 😀
I got about 20 rows in and lost my place I agree I’m going to start over with stitch markers😢
thank you
You’re welcome 😀🧶
Lovely tutorial. I just found you and have subscribed; hope you’re still doing videos.
Hi! Yes I am! I’m just taking a little break for the Christmas period but have lots of videos planned for next year 😀🧶
What size knitting needles please . I am so pleased I found a easy chevron to do .
I used double knit yarn and 4mm needles 😀
Thankyou so much for a easy chevron pattern .
voilà j ai trouvé. merci.pas facile pour les gens âgés.
Beautiful pattern, I would like to knit this, how much balls of yarn to knit a for a twin bed? Thank you😊
That’s not something I can easily answer - it depends on the yarn weight used and the size of needles, I would knit up a small sample, measure and weigh it and then you’ll get a good idea of how much j you’d need
If I wanted to do a longer chevron, I could theoretically do k15, k2t, then k14 and kfb? Or something along those lines, just always doing one less on the second knit?
Yep you could ☺️
Thank you, and thanks so much for explaining with such simplicity 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Nice pattern. What yarn do you recommend for baby blanket without using acrylic yarn? I prefer something natural like wool but soft. Would I use merino or superwash? What brand do you recommend?
Personally I use acrylic for it’s easy care nature so I’m not really best placed to reccomend a natural fibre yarn. Bamboo yarn or a bamboo cotton mix could be a nice soft option.
My knitting and crochet work is back to basics since I had a stroke……. All I do is baby blankets and baby hats etc. I use mostly acrylic and I find them lovely and soft. I agree with the bamboo ranges , they are lovely and soft also but I think my favourite wools are Debbi Bliss. She has a very wide range of wools, very very soft and squishy. The draw back for me would be the cost of these natural wools, merino etc.
Thank you for such h a lovely blanket. I will be knitting one
I agree with regards to using a good quality Acrylic. If you are knitting for a hospital baby unit, they prefer the use of acrylic, as that yarn is usually easycare, and washes well, and is hypoallergenic @@christinenewell2679
the lit side is woven in the same way as the right side
Hi, what size is any blanket & how much yarn did you use?
Thank you.. Anne... 😉
It’s approx 60 x 80cm and I think I used about 300g of dk weight yarn total but I didn’t weigh it.
I want to do same size as your blanket please so how many yarn of the hay field spirit chunky 100 gm yarn please 😊
It’s thicker yarn than I used so if you cast on the same amount of stitches as I did your blanket will be bigger - the 7 skeins you have will more than likely be enough, if you want the blanket the same size as mine you’ll need to cast on less stitches as you’re working with thicker yarn.
@@SnufflebeanYarn
Thank you so much so appreciated your quick answer you made my day I will start with the blanket now with confident
Honestly you are amazing thank you again 😊
Currently completed first row. As I start second row I’m noticing additional stitches (perhaps from the slip purl-wise). Should there be an extra stitch? If so, wouldn’t that misplace following stitch pattern?
If you have the correct cast on and have worked the repeat correctly then that shouldn’t be the case as this is definitely a 1 row repeat 🙂
@@SnufflebeanYarn exactly what I thought, thanks!
Can you help me please I want to do this blanket I just bought the hayfield spirit chunky 7 skein of 100 gm each would that be enough please 😊
It depends on how big you’re going with the blanket but for anything baby or toddler sized that’s definitely enough 🙂
How many stich es for baby blanket?
The written pattern for a baby blanket is on my blog - linked in the description
what's the numbers you use to make a scarf?
I haven’t made a scarf in afraid, you’d need to test out which number of stitches would give you the right width. 😊
Thks
I would like to knit a big blanket for my husband, how many stitches do you suggest that I cast on?
If you’re going to knit a big blanket I would definitely go for a bulky weight yarn and try the same amount of stitches?
Thanks for the heads up!! Time to go knitting!!
Thanks for the heads up!! Time to go knitting!!
If you need any more help then please just drop me a comment, happy knitting!
@@SnufflebeanYarn I would like to make a big blanket for our bed - I only want something lightweight - I've bought most of the yarn already - only need 2 more colours and will be using 4mm needles... But i don't know how many stitches to put on... My yarn is DK acrylic.
Can you please help?
Need your help not sure what I done wrong instead of 182 I have 181 stitches and I can see there is mistake
You would need to start again I’m afraid.
dommage que les explications ne soient paw egalement en français. c est tres joli.
Sì può scrivere in italiano
You can turn auto translated subtitles on
please only beginners would like to know how to weave the back of the work
This is on my list of videos to film. I show how to weave the ends on my Chunky Grey Scarf video if you want to have a look sooner 🙂
you don't think beginners would like to know how to do this?
@@micaiahmoore I do think beginners would like to know how, which is why I plan to cover it in another video so that I can refer beginners to that one video rather than covering it in every video I film.
@@SnufflebeanYarn no no this video is amazing, I just don't get why Maria is being rude
Oh ok gotcha! 😀 In honesty I didn’t find Maria’s comment rude, my videos are not aimed at complete beginners which is why I am trying to film separate videos that encompass techniques beginners might need in addition.
