I hope you'll enjoy this free Sea Breeze Chevron Afghan crochet pattern and be able to find a little peace of your own!

Shell - (2 dc, ch 2, dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in indicated stitch

Cluster - (yo, insert hook in indicated stitch, pull up a loop, yo, pull through 2 loops on hook)4x, yo, pull through all 5 loops on hook

Notes:

When changing colors, do so in the last step of the last stitch of the row before the color change
Changing colors every 2 or 4 rows will allow you to carry the yarn up the edge of the pattern so you don’t have to weave in so many ends. Feel free to change colors where it works best for you though
This pattern uses standing stitches instead of turning chains. If you prefer to use a turning chain, chain 1 and turn for all rows starting with a sc, chain 3 and turn for all rows starting with a dc (ch-3 would count as a stitch and you would need to skip the very first st to account for this)
