One of the first stitch patterns I learned was the chevron. It is a classic. I have even shared an amusing story with you about a chevron blanket I made in undergrad. As crochet has grown, the chevron has been adapted in many ways. It has been rounded out to make ripples or waves, it has graced clothing, bags, and so much more than just blankets. I have compiled some great chevron & ripple patterns to showcase its many uses!
Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something that each designer has to say about them.
