Pattern Description:
This is an EASY skill level crochet blanket pattern worked using the SUPER BULKY Bernat Blanket O’Go yarn.
The design uses the Corner-to-Corner (C2C) technique in three separate motifs, crocheted diagonally.
These panels are then sewn together in finishing to form the final chevron pattern. Panel 2 is noted to be mirrored with the Wrong Side (WS) facing when joining.

- 2nd row: Ch 6. Work 1 dc in 4th ch from hook. Work 1 dc in each of the next 2 ch – this makes the beg block. Next, work (Sl st. Ch 3. 3 dc) in the next ch-3 sp – this makes a block. Turn. (2 blocks).
- 3rd row: Work the Beg block. Then, Block in next ch-3 sp. Rep from to the end of the row. Turn. (3 blocks).

FINISHING
Joining Panels
Using color that matches the stripes, sew the 3 Panels tog following the Assembly Diagram.
- Panel 1 and Panel 3 are joined with the RS Facing.
- Panel 2 is joined mirrored with the WS facing. Take care to align the edges and match the stripes to ensure seams are hidden.
Fringe
- Cut strands of Contrast D, E, and F 10″ [25.5 cm] long.
- Taking 1 strand each of D, E, and F (3 strands tog), fold them in half.
- Knot the resulting loop into fringe around the last st at the end of each row along the top and bottom edges of the Blanket.
- Note: Along the bottom edge, the end of each row will be either a ch-3 or a dc st. Along the top edge, the end of each row will be either a ch-3 or the center dc of a block.
- Trim the fringe evenly.
