Our nostalgic Vintage Chevron Blanket pattern (for knitters and crocheters!) tells a timeless story of rich color and beauty to hand down through generations. In our joyful Till with its a veritable rainbow of 37 amazing colors, it’s a tale you can’t help but want to be a part of!
- Simple stitches, a soft and springy yarn, and stunning colors make this easy garter stitch blanket a delight. For the knitted version (shown here), you just need one simple increase and one simple decrease (we have tutorials for both) to form those chevron shapes. We also include instructions for a super classic crochet version, which is just as easy!
- Beautiful, bountiful Till is the perfect yarn for the plump stitches, generous size, and graphic sensibility of this blanket, a generous and quick-knitting worsted- to chunky-weight yarn with a vintage feel you’ll love.
- Till is soft and warm in 100% Andean highland wool and comes in a convenient ball… No winding needed! A balanced and bouncy 4-ply spin results in a round strand that gives you great stitch definition and springy, plush garter stitch.
To create those beautiful bands of color, choose from our four gemstone-inspired Vintage Chevron Blanket Bundles! Explore the vibrant pinks and reds of Ruby; savor Amethyst Geode, combining shades of purple with earthy neutrals; move through green, pink, and yellow with luminescent Tourmaline; or dive into the bright blues and purples of the Sapphire bundle!
