The crochet Stepping Textures Chevron Afghan is a blanket that is thick and squishy, perfect to snuggle under as fall comes around.
I made this one as a gift for a sports lover. I think she will enjoy it as she goes off to watch fall sports, football and soccer. Use your favorite team colors for the sports lover in your life.
Thank you to Cathy Lund and Wendy Marple for testing this pattern for me.

Beutiful! I would like to make this but would would also like to make it larger and longer overall... what count would I need going across the first time please? Also, how would they break down? For example, chain multiples of 11 add 3 at the end, etc... I am newer to this and need the help if you can off it! Thank you!
Mikey says
The pattern has the multiple of 27 + 29. So chain in sets of 27. When you are happy with the length of the chain, add the final 29 chains for the balance.
Leslie says
Good to know. The only time I used the bobble extensively was for a dishcloth. It was shown with bobbles in every row. But if I am understanding you correctly it would have really been every other row--so bobbles on both front and back. I did push them all to one side but that seemed a real waste of my time considering I'd need to continually do it.
Marina King says
I'm not sure, this pattern is for a blanket, so without reading the pattern you are referring to, I can't honestly answer. not all patterns are the same, so dishcloths would possibly be written doing them every row to give you texture on both sides opposed to just one side.
Leslie says
Lovely. Question/comment: when I make bobbles they often "pop" onto the wrong side. How do I correct that? I'd love to make this but my bobbles look beautiful but don't stay where I put them!
Mikey says
If you noticed, the pattern stated to do the bobble on Row 3. That's the wrong side of the blanket. They naturally fall to the opposite side of the work. So if you do that stitch on the front side, it will pop out at the back. The way Jeanne has written this, if you do this on the back, it pops out to the front. There's no way to fix that without crocheting bobbles onto the back side. Some designers tell you to force it to the front with your finger but it rarely ever stays.
