Finished Chevron Baby Blanket

[Pixieglitter]

I finally finished this little girl baby blanket. It took me a lot of time because it's all done in SC in the back loops only in order to create the ridges. The close up photo shows the true colors.

I can't do a chevron to save my life. Just can't get the points to line up. Your blanket is beautiful.

Shelley,

I'm making angel baby clothes right now and saw the cutest dress....in chevron. Any pointers on how to get it so straight and pointy. Despite counting my center of my chevron just isn't straight

Hi Debbie, to get the points you put 3 stitches at the top of the point - only in one stitch from the row below. Also, your points will be much sharper if you use SC instead of DC.

You don't put 2 stitches in each of the 2 stitches from the row below. Doing it that way spreads the point out and makes it a wavy ripple.

I don't try to modify ripple patterns. Here's the chevron pattern I used.

Thanks for the website. There is an organization by me that helps mommies to be and those are easy but cute patterns I can use. And I don't modify ripples either, only when there is a multiple that I can choose my own size.
