Classic Ripple Blankets – Free Crochet Patterns

Blissful Chevron Afghan

The beauty of crochet is that each stitch and every pattern can be modified, even just a bit. In this case, zig-zag is so delicate that it’s almost flat, but it’s enough to build the eye-catching effect. As you can see, the two-row stripes are wide enough to showcase the colors beautifully, but you can go for more or less, depending on your creative vision.
