Chunky Zig-Zag Blanket by Sophie Stitches
What Is Being Made
The Chunky Zig-Zag Blanket is a colorful crochet throw blanket featuring a bold chevron or zig-zag pattern. This design combines three coordinating yarn colors—Misty Grey, Seafoam Blue, and Dusty Rose—to create visual interest and movement across the finished piece. The blanket is worked in rows, making it an accessible project for beginners while delivering a striking, modern aesthetic.
Techniques and Stitches Used
This pattern employs two specialized crochet techniques to achieve the distinctive chevron effect:
- Treble2togetherskip (tr2togsk) stitch: Used to create the troughs (valleys) of the zig-zag pattern, this technique decreases stitches to form the dips in the chevron design.
- Treble cluster (trclu) stitch: Used to create the peaks (points) of the zig-zag pattern, this stitch builds height and definition at the high points of the chevron.
The pattern is written in UK crochet terms, which use different abbreviations and stitch heights than US terminology. The main body of the blanket is constructed by working in rows, allowing for straightforward progression from one row to the next. The pattern includes photo tutorials for key steps, providing visual guidance for executing the special stitches and finishing details like pom-pom attachment.
Materials Required
This chunky-weight project requires:
- Yarn: Paintbox Simply Chunky in four 100g balls each of Colour A (Misty Grey), Colour B (Seafoam Blue), and Colour C (Dusty Rose), plus five 100g balls with pom-poms for embellishment
- Hook: 6mm crochet hook (the designer uses Clover Amour hooks)
- Notions: Embroidery scissors and a darning needle for finishing and pom-pom attachment
Difficulty Level and Pattern Format
Rated as a beginner project, this blanket is accessible to those new to crochet while producing professional-looking results. The pattern is provided as a downloadable PDF, allowing crafters to work from digital or printed instructions at their own pace. The inclusion of photo tutorials and detailed special stitch instructions supports learners in mastering the chevron techniques required for this design.
