- Learn how to make a Chevron, Ripple, Zig Zag Afghan in any size you wish. I used Bernat L'il Tots to demonstrate this technique throughout the video. Free pattern and diagrams are available at thecrochetcrowd...
Learn how to make this beautiful Baby Zig Zag Blanket. It is really simple to follow and I have provided details for you to be successful.
In the video tutorial, I have presented a rough note diagram that I used. There is a copy of that diagram if you wish to download it or print it for yourself.
I will take you through this in the video tutorial.
What I cannot answer for you is how much yarn you will need. If you are customizing your afghan, you will have to make that determination for you.
Use any hook size you wish, as long as it compliments the yarn.
Use any yarn you wish. I am using Bernat L’il Tots in my demonstrations. #crochet #learntocrochet #crochettutorial .

Thank you so so so sooooo much
Send me this pattern! I'm looking to make this aphgan for a friend in Canada-he doesn't know it yet! Doug👍🤓
★★★★★ Great video, great teacher!
I've watched a dozen "Chevron" tutorials in the past few days & this one is BY FAR the best I've found! 😁👍 THANK YOU SIR! 🙏🏼
This is the exact blanket pattern my gram ALWAYS did! She tried to teach me how to do it and I never caught on to it. So once I have it done, it will be a tribute to her and it will most likely be my new favorite afghan…Ty Mikey for all you do for us! ❤️
Honestly I’ve watched several videos trying to explain this and out of all of them you are by far the BEST! Great communicator & very thorough explanation for easy understanding! Thank you so much!!
He really is made several of his blankets. I d be lost without him!
You should try this afghan. I'm an old woman and his instructions are spot on. He did an amazing job with the directions. You must make this afghan.
I love how simply you explain everything. You are the best for me to learn from off TH-cam. Hands down.
I tried many Chevron patterns and could never get this right this pattern is the best so far ,soooo easy to follow cant wait to finally crochet my blanket ,thank you
I have been trying to learn this pattern for YEARS!! Thank you soooooo much for explaining in multiple ways that I was finally blue to understand. You’re the best!!!
This is my go-to pattern for scatter cushions. As its single crochet, it works up nice and tightly and plumps up lovely. Cheers again, Mikey, for another great pattern and an easy to follow tutorial and diagram. ❤
I love seeing someone crochet like me. I'm not lightning-fast, nor do I always make a perfect stitch every single time. Some people go way too fast and everything looks perfect. I like this guy. Bravo.
Thanks Nicole. I try.
Oh my God. My poor friend tried to teach me this and I was nothing but confused and frustrated. Now I totally get it. I am ridiculously happy. It is my first project and now it is going great!
Thank you, Mikey for your tutorials because I’m not able to read patterns; you take time to explain every detail and for me, that’s major! Thanks again 🥰☺️
I am 70 yrs young and I have probably done more zig-zag afghan than I should have but years ago that was the main afghan to make, we didn't add on extra stitches to keep the edge straight, we just skipped 1 single crochet and as for the bottom dip we crocheted 3 single crochets together to bring them up to start the next ripple, just thought I would let you know the old fashion way of doing the ripple afghan, but I do love your way of teaching it is very easy to follow you.
I like that you talk as you go because it makes it easier to follow.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I tried 3 different tutorials and ended up undoing every one of them b/c they just weren’t turning out right. Comments under one of the other videos recommended you so figured I’d give it a shot. This one is turning out beautifully! You give such clear directions and made this one a breeze for me to follow. Thank you so much!!! Once I finish this one I’m going to dig through your other tutorials for my next project 😃
I did this pattern a while ago for a full sized blanket in a double crochet and it turned out amazing. Doing it again, this time instead of skipping the two (or one) stitches in the dips, I'm actually double crocheting 3 together. This way I don't have that little gap in between the chevrons. It's working even better.
For people who want to use a double crochet instead of a single crochet - your chain should be number of chevrons x 25 (I'm actually using 27 because I like 12 more than 11). At the end, add on 4 additional chains. Then chain 3, double crochet in 5th chain from hook follow pattern as described.
This is a great tutorial for crochet chevrons. My edges were always wonky and this explains why. Thank you so much for breaking it down in the chart stitch by stitch and explaining everything!! You are the best!!!!
YAY…. Glad you made this tutorial, the others don’t give enough explanation like you 😍❤️💯
Thank you Mikey!!! Love your instructions! I can't read a pattern to save my soul, but I can watch it being done!! LOL
This was a super easy pattern to understand. I whipped out a baby blanket in a week. Working on another one. Thank you. I love your videos.
Thank you SO MUCH! I have looked for this pattern, literally, for years. 27 years ago, my ex mother-in-law made a blanket just like this for my daughter. Five years ago, I got back into crocheting and that blanket is one reason I did: because it's STILL in great shape and I wanted to make things that will last.
Since then, I have tried to figure out which version of the zig-zag / Chevron / ripple stitch it was-- but could never find it. I've tried several. And, while they're nice, they lacked the specific look I wanted.
This is it. Thank you.
I was having a hard time getting my foundation down. I only wanted 5 peaks, so I keep chaining 130, after about the 6 time taking it apart, I figured I needed 135 chains to make it work. Thank u for sharing. I have got it started now!
You are so easy to follow. You taught me the rectangular granny too. I love you!
Do you just repeat the second row
I used your instructions to make this blanket but I did double crochets instead of singles. Turned out beautiful!( ombre purple/gray/white) Your video was great and I loved you diagram and explanation of the pattern. Extremely helpful, thank you!
did you add an extra 3 at the end? or how did you do the foundation chain?
+Amanda Klotz I did regular chain to begin my work and yes there are 3 stitches extra on each end to keep it from curling up
+sara kaiser thank you!! Did in single but didn't like how it looked lol
+Amanda Klotz yes ma'am! hope it works out for you
sara kaiser to clarify you did 180 chain plus 3 for the double?
Just finished my first project yesterday, a double crochet chevron Afghan. This is my next experiment. This video makes it very straightforward, thanks! I will not stop until I create the perfect cozy afghan!
how many stitches do you need for a double
I've watched many videos on how to do this pattern. I have always had trouble with it. You took the time to explain it and make it easy to follow along and understand. Thank you for sharing this.
Glad it was helpful!
Mikey, after watching numerous channels doing the same pattern. Your explanation of the stitch is most understanding. Your thumb got in the way a few times-blocking the stitch in progress-but, it was clear to what was being explained. Beautiful work!😁👍 Doug, now my challenge is to reverse it for my left handedness. Doug🧸
I have been looking for instructions for a chevron single crochet blanket and have been so confused. I think that I finally understand how to do it! Thank you and hugs from Ohio.
I am starting a 500 stitch afghan for my mom for Christmas. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you for this very informative tutorial. I love the diagram that shows the pattern. I am mostly a beginner and I'm self taught through videos and tutorials. Pattern reading is sometimes a challenge. This video helped me be able to understand how it all works. I NEED that. I'm a math teacher so I can't just simply do something, I have to understand the "why" and the "how".
The written pattern says "work the first and last 2 st of each row under both loops of sts in previous row". You didn't do this. Should I follow the tutorial or the sritten pattern?
Thank you for this video! I have tried so many times to make a chevron blanket and this video has helped me so much. It's very detailed and I needed this.
Your instructions are spot on. I've tried different pattern but you are the best. Thanks 👍👍
Just watched entire video and can't wait to start it in ALABAMA colors! (Need to finish current project first.) ROLL TIDE!!!
+BeWellReiki ROLL TIDE!!!!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR
Hi Mickey
After numerous tries for the chevron I finally got it . I love it so easy. Thanks the tutorial is fantastic
I love the diagram chart you make it really helps me as a visual person, thanks
Thank you for this video. It was super easy to follow! Can’t wait to see the finished product!
MUITO OBRIGADA, SÓ COM VOCÊ EU CONSEGUI FAZER ESSE PONTO MARAVILHOSO NOVAMENTE, APRENDI QUANDO CRIANÇA E ESQUECI COMPLETAMENTE AGORA VOU FAZER NOVAMENTE AMEI SUA EXPLICAÇÃO. 🥰 IS BEAUTHIFUL CROCHET.TANKS TANKS TANKS.
You're so good at explaining stuff!! Which i need!! Thank you!!
Thank you for this tutorial. I am making an Afghan using this stitch. Love it!!!! Keep those patterns & tutorials coming.
★★★★★ Great video, great teacher!
I've watched a dozen "Chevron" tutorials in the past few days & this one is BY FAR the best I've found! 😁👍 THANK YOU SIR! 🙏🏼
you're the best Mikey thank you for blessing us
It's my pleasure.
Thanks for clarifying what you are doing. Now I can tackle one for my granddaughter :)
What a wonderful tutorial! Thank you.One of my problems when trying to learn from a friend was that she moved so fast I couldn't see what she was doing. Her hands were a blur.You are very talented both as an artist and as a teacher
I love this Pattern I’m a Beginner so this is beautiful
Absolutely love this...love your tutorials!!!...your awesome at explaining...thanks bunches
Thank you for explaining the measurements, It was easy to calculate the size for a twin bed.
I'm so happy to hear that. Some people say the math doesn't work but I get it to work for. People may have different calculator types. ;)
Thanks Mikey. You always make learning new stitches easy and fun. Great tips with making my own pattern. Thanks again
Thank you for this tutorial! I am making a chevron blanket now!! You made it look so easy!
Finally I got this stitch done ✅ thanks 🙏 very clear explanation 👏👏
You are welcome 😊
I've watched other crochet sites and this one is The Best!! 💕💕
Thanks for your trust to watch my video.
Gracias por tus videos.Aprendo mucho con ellos.Eres un excelente maestro.Saludos desde Dorado,Puerto Rico.
Doing it during the shout down. Love it!
great tutorial.. Just add more columns ...and add on.. you can turn it into a lap blanket or a big blanket
Thank you so much I have been look for this to be done. I was given an Afghan with this pattern. Now I get this
I'm making a scarf! Hope it turns out nicely.
Thank you soo much for this video.. I was making the chevron blanket but I wanted to make a smaller chevron.. it really helped..
Thank you Mikey. I am making it along with you.
That sample would be a cool scarf: thanks for the tute -- very good!
Mikey, thank goodness you still had this video up! I had forgotten how to do this stitch! I started my KING SIZED blanket last night and looked at it this morning knowing there was something VERY WRONG with it. I figured out what I did, after ripping out half of my 10.5 ounce Bernat Blanket Big Ball (180 stitches across, size Q hook) I'm starting all over! I'm just so thankful this is still up! I think I will probably use at least 25-30 balls of yarn for my king sized blanket. We are putting it on our bed and using it instead of a comforter, so it will almost hang to the floor!
Thank you so much for making this looking so easy. I'll definitely be making one of these.
You are awesome! I can easily understand what you are talking about. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these tutorials for us to follow! They have helped me learn so much! :)
Oh Cool! I'm just getting into crocheting and this tutorial is wonderful!
thank you this has realy helped my mom
I’m starting my queen size tomorrow thanx for video
Great vids, have learned a lot. One suggestion, show a completed project not just the sample you made for the video. I like seeing the finished project to gauge sizing versus stitching and possible changes to fit my needs. Thanks again, keep up the good work.
I had to skip 3 in order to get the shape I wanted for the down part of the chevron. So far you have been the easiest to understand. Now, can you do a tutorial for a granny ripple? I tried for 3 days on that and couldn't get it lol
I am enjoying all your tutorials. Love the mystery project!
Simply Marvelous Mikey I love learning from You!
Anyone else notice these take a long time to make? Feels like ive been crocheting forever!
I just finished mine last night and it took me 7 weeks (38” x 40”), now I’m wondering if I should finish the edges or leave it as is?
great tutorial.. Just add more ripples... you can turn it into a small blanket or a big blanket
Thanks, I incorporated this pattern into Caron Big Cakes, and it’s coming out amazing.
thank you for posting, ive am almost done with a twin sized afghan it went by so fast!
Thanks for the pattern and size chart 😍 this is a classic .

thank you Mikey...my daughter wants a blanket for the baby she is expecting in chevron...I can now do her 1...
great tutorial.. Just add more columns .... you can turn it into a small blanket or a big blanket
Thanks .. I am starting one today !
I'm totally going to try this!
Great instructions! Thanks!
What an excellent tutorial. I plan to try one of these soon. This finally makes sense to me. Thank you. Blessings, Susan Fryman
Thank you. Finally for it. Can't wait to start
Nice! Explained in wonderful detail! ☺️
Thanks a lot 😊
@@TheCrochetCrowd You're very welcome!
Amazingly informative! I spent all night attempting this same pattern from another TH-camrs instructions but she only made a tiny sample and I was so lost after the set of 25 if I was supposed to skip one or two or how to continue and you made it so much more clear for me. Thanks so much! Liked and subscribed :)
What a great video!! Thank you so much for this! I have never made a ripple afghan, but my 92 year old mom has been making them since she was in her 20’s. She learned from women at work. What a gift!! I have a question. Mom has early dementia and wants to make an afghan for her grandson. Her ‘muscle memory’ is there so she can make it but she has no idea how much yarn to tell me to purchase. She is making a 60x80! Yup, she is still ambitious! Please help!
that was such a great instructional video ! thank you!
Mikey, I, think, after too many viewings of this video tutorial, I may just have it finally. I still struggle with the turning at each end though. After 53 years of trying to figure it out-getting nowhere near the understanding of what to do exactly, I may just "throw in the towel" and learn a new craft! My being left handed and crocheting left handedly backwards-left to right has only aided to the exasperation to the challenge. I'm a guy on top of it all. You can only beat your head into a cement wall at top speed for so long before you find no relief from the pain in your head from the frustrations, I will keep trying though(I must be out of my "rabid-ass" mind, or is that being a glutton for punishment). Doug😵🥺
thank you so much for this tutorial, it's been so long since I made one and I just couldn't get it right! very easy to follow and clear. thank you thank you thank you!!!
I like it
I found this pattern difficult. I have restarted at least 3 times. Your instructions make it more clear. Keeping track of stitches was never my strong suit.
waves are hard for many people, especially on the edges.
Thanks so very much
Thank you!!
Very good tutorial!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks this very clear to made. Not sure if I made this thanks Mickey
I absolutely love this! Currently working on a baby blanket for the bun in my oven. The only thing is, I would love a border (or straight edge) for the pattern. I'm not loving the way the blanket curls up at the bottom. Any suggestions?
Yes, haha. That would be what I mean.
In my experience, it will relax and flatten with use/washing! "Fresh" crochet items tend to curl for whatever reason (usually you have tighter stitches, which is fine because they will loosen over time so you don't want them super loose to start) and as it loosens and relaxes it will completely flatten over time and you'll see those curls go away
This is a great and very easy to follow tutoria. Thank you! I did hsve some questions. How do you fill the top and bottom chevron portions when you are finished, so it's a rectangular throw? I'm a total newbie and would like to see how you change the yarn and add the border. Thanks
this is so cool
great tutorial, Just add more ripples. you can turn it into a small blanket or a big blanket
Thanks Mickey!! This was the exact pattern I have been looking for. Great presentation! :)
If I want to make a full size blanket...I'm sorry I'm a newbie and younger than most.. someday I hope to read patterns and diagrams..tia
I love this. Very easy to follow. I want to make strips of two chevrons for my blanket and breaking it down like this is awesome. I was wonder though do I have to add another stitch at the end if I want to do half double crochet instead of single crochet?
Can you use Double or Triple Crochet stitches instead of Single Crochet stitch to make the top and bottom curves? Great video by the way!
Many many thanks
