Crochet a Textured Chevron Throw
I love an afghan that is thick and squishy, so I came up with this chevron throw with front post treble crochets to give it the feeling that I was looking for in a blanket.

I just started this. I’m on row 5 and I’m so in love! I started with white. Going to add stripes of turquoise, gray and a variegated yarn containing all three colors. I’m so excited to see how it turns out. I’m going to make my stripes a bit thicker though as I hate having to weave in the ends. Thank you so much!
would like it to fit the top of a full size bed thanks Mona
yes I love watching mickey makes it so plan on directions
how many more extra stitches do I need to make it larger
It’s in multiples of 26 + 3, so for every extra 26, that’s another full chevron.
I love it! It’ll be definitely on my to-do list 🙂 May I learn whether the pattern is written in UK or US terms? Thank you so much <3
It is written in US terms. ~ Jeanne
