How to Knit a FUNKY Modern Blanket! 🤩

Knit this funky modern colour block Chevron Blanket with me!

Makes for a perfect baby gift in bright modern colours. It's knitted in garter stitch, using a simple increase and decrease to create the points and troughs of the chevron. This is a great blanket for a beginner who has mastered the basic knit stitch and wants to tackle something slightly more adventurous.

I would call this less modern and more retro. Very 70s ! Love it

Ive now completed one rug and on to my second. I really love this pattern however I must say putting stitch markers at the start of each pattern sequence (18) stitches was a life saver. If I miss counted it meant I only had to involve the last 18 stitches. This really worked for me and meant I could zone out in front of the TV a little easier. Ha ha ha

BRILLIANT TEACHER! The best on the internet and I have been reading hundreds of them up to now. Thanx

What a lovely pattern. I’m glad you’ve chosen to upload patterns on your channel, because I remember when you didn’t post patterns just yarn. I think this kinda content should help your channel grow. Especially as you’re very good at teaching and explaining things that new knitters might get caught out on. Keep up the great work. 👏🏼🧶

I've made this blanket using up all my leftover yarn. It looked wonderful! This is my go to pattern for afghans!

Thanks for sharing I've been knitting all my life also having knitting machines throughout my life now i just enjoy hand knitting and it helps with my arthritis in my wrists I've done many patterns but seeing your tutorial i was amazed at the way you did the last stitch i had never thought of doing that before and I totally agree with you it does make a neater edge but I found by knitting into the back of the first stitch on the next row there's no loop thank you so much for this beautiful pattern 💕💓💞👍🌟👏

Thank you so much for this pattern.
I am doing it in Aran wool and 110 stitches.
I've found it easier to use stitch markers every 18 stitches apart from the two ends stitches x

Another great project! Thanks for showing sewing in the ends cause I struggle with that also.

Hi Laurelin, your chevron blanket is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your tutorial and for showing how to weave in your ends as that's another new technique for me to learn. X

Love the Chevron blanket completed my second. I too put a marker at the beginning of each pattern. This was a game changer for me. Thanks for the great and easy to follow tutorials

[TheJestersYarn]

Thank you!! I love it!! And I think I understand everything up to the weaving in of the tails...
