Instructions

Starting the Blanket

1. **Chain 3 in Light Pink:** To begin, make a slip knot with your Light Pink yarn and chain 3. This counts as your first dc in the next step.

2. **Round 1:** Crochet 11 dc into the first chain (this will form a small circle). You should have 12 double crochets total. Join with a sl st to the top of the first ch-3 to close the round.

3. **Change colors:** Switch to White yarn.

Creating the Chevron Pattern

4. **Round 2:** Ch 3 (counts as your first dc), then dc into the same stitch. Continue to dc in each stitch around (total of 24 dc). Join with sl st to the top of the first ch-3.

5. **Change colors:** Switch to Dark Pink yarn.

6. **Round 3:** Ch 3, dc in the same stitch. *Ch 2, sk 2 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around. Join with sl st to the top of the first ch-3.

7. **Change colors:** Switch back to White yarn.

8. **Round 4:** Ch 3, dc in the same stitch. *Ch 1, 2 dc in the next chain-2 space.* Repeat from * to * around, ending with ch 1. Join with sl st to the first ch-3.

9. **Continue Rounds:** Repeat the last two rounds, alternating Dark Pink and Light Pink yarns, until the blanket reaches your desired size, making sure to maintain the zigzag pattern.

Finishing the Blanket

10. **Last Round:** To finish, add a round of dc in White around the entire blanket. Make sure to dc in every stitch and chain space, then join with a sl st to complete.

11. Cut yarn, leaving a long tail to weave in ends. Use the yarn needle to weave in any loose ends securely.
