Texture, texture and more texture! I just love it! I know we're heading into the summer months but I'm still a little chilly here in Northern Utah. I thought we were headed into a really hot summer and was ready to get my garden planted and put away all my winter stuff. And then the cold hit again! So, at the moment, I'm sitting with a heater at my feet because they're always cold and I still have my thick blanket on top of my bed for the cold nights. Honestly though, I love making blankets year round. While some friends are enjoying a nice warm beach somewhere, other friends are wrapped up with their crochet hooks or a good book to stay warm. No matter what your weather at the moment, I know you'll enjoy this project at some point! This blanket is a fun one to work and learn a few different textured stitches and how they can flow on a chevron pattern. I've used the Bobble Stitch to add a fun little POP to the throw. I've included a video tutorial for this stitch for those who may not be familiar with it. You can find this tutorial here: https://youtu.be/QvetblRCNTg I've also added a Wrap Stitch to offer a little bit of openness to the pattern. This is a fun one to work and I've included a video tutorial for this stitch also. You can find this tutorial here: https://youtu.be/Q8-HFGvEZ2g Sometimes, it's nice to not have a gap on our turning stitches so for this pattern, I chose to use starting double crochet stitches and loved it! If you'd like to learn how to work the Starting DC stitch, you can find my video tutorial for that here: https://youtu.be/QfU7J95ONdY If you prefer to use a chain 3 to start your row, no worries! Just chain 3, skip the very first stitch and use the chain 3 as a dc in your stitch count. If you find that you love one of the stitches while crocheting this blanket and want more of it, you can simply continue working that stitch for larger sections. I think the fun part is being able to sit under this blanket as you're crocheting and run your hands across the texture! It's so fun and makes me happy. I hope that you will enjoy crocheting your own Textured Chevron Sampler Blanket and snuggling in it when it's finished! Happy crocheting my friends! Kate
