Chevron Party Blanket

Chevron Party Blanket by Eleri Schofield

Project Overview

The Chevron Party Blanket is a crochet blanket pattern designed by Eleri Schofield and published by My Crochet Place. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a vibrant, striped blanket featuring classic chevron stitch work in a multicolor design. The pattern is specifically written for confident beginner crocheters and welcomes crafters of all skill levels to create and sell finished blankets based on this design.

Craft and Technique

This project uses the crochet technique throughout. The blanket showcases the popular chevron stitch, a classic crochet pattern that creates distinctive V-shaped peaks and valleys across the fabric. This stitch is ideal for beginners as it combines basic crochet movements into a visually striking pattern. The chevron design creates natural color blocking opportunities, making it perfect for displaying multiple yarn colors in horizontal stripes.

Stitches Used

While the PDF content focuses on the chevron stitch as the primary stitch pattern, the blanket construction relies on fundamental crochet stitches commonly used in chevron designs. These typically include double crochet stitches and chain stitches, which form the foundation of the repeating V-shaped pattern characteristic of chevron work.

Materials and Yarn Specifications

The Chevron Party Blanket pattern is designed to work with DK weight yarn (also known as 8ply or light worsted weight). The original blanket pictured in the pattern was created using Paintbox Yarns Simply DK yarn in four coordinating colors:

• Buttercup Yellow
• Marine Blue
• Bubblegum Pink
• Champagne White

Each color ball weighs 100 grams. The pattern notes that while any yarn weight may be used, substituting a different yarn weight will result in a proportionally smaller or larger finished blanket. Using the specified DK weight yarn ensures the blanket achieves the intended finished dimensions and drape.

Difficulty Level

This pattern is rated as beginner difficulty and is specifically designed with the confident beginner crocheter in mind. The straightforward chevron stitch construction and clear pattern instructions make it an excellent project for those new to crochet who have mastered basic stitches and are ready to work with color changes and repeating stitch patterns.
