The concept of crochet rib stitches expanding and contracting in a chevron-wave blanket with Bernat Blanket Patchwork intrigued me. This is the Crochet Parting Ways Blanket pattern.
The downloadable version has the crochet diagram included and is written with attention to detail and tips.
Truthfully, Mikey finished this blanket in just three days. It's a quick and easy crochet blanket to follow.

Rep the 3rd to 8th rows until your project reaches the desired length. I finished when all 6 of A balls were used. Fasten off.
Border
The main diagram is provided on the printable version.
Start at the first stitch shown, indicated by the green arrow with the right side facing you. The first round will establish the remaining part of the border.
1st rnd:
- RS. With B, join to the top of the first st with sl st, ch 1. 2 sc in same st. 1 sc in next 11 sts to the peak. (1 sc. Ch 1. 1 sc) in peak. 1 sc in each st in next 10 sts. *1 sc2tog over the next 3 sts (valley). 1 sc in next 10 sts. (1 sc. Ch 1. 1 sc) in peak. 1 sc in each of the next 10 sts. Rep from * across top edge. 3 sc in last st.
- Evenly space sc going down the side to the bottom beginning edge.
- 3 sc in first st. 1 sc in next 10 chs. 1 sc2tog over next 3 chs. 1 sc in next 10 chs. *(1 sc. Ch 1. 1 sc) in next ch. 1 sc in next 10 chains. 1 sc2tog over next 3 chs. 1 sc over next 10 chs. Rep from * across. 3 sc in last ch.
- Evenly space sc going up the side to the top beginning edge.
- 1 sc in same beg st and join with sl st to beg sc.
2nd to 4th rnds: Single crochet around, placing 3 sc in the corners of the blanket. For the peaks, place (1 sc. ch 1. 1 sc) in ch-1 sp. For the valleys, always skip the sc2tog from the round below and place 1 sc2tog using the stitch before and after to bridge over. Join with sl st to beg sc. Fasten off. You will get close to the end of the B ball.
