The chevron stitch pattern is one of my favourites because I love how this simple two row pattern, combined with a striped pattern, creates this amazing zig zag. It epitomises everything I love about knitting.
Simple stitch, simple stripe, simply beautiful.
I’ve used this stitch pattern for years because I love it so much and you can’t bet a classic!
For this pattern I used:
Yarn & Amounts for aran version: One 100g hank each of WYS Bluefaced Leicester Aran – Undyed (100% Bluefaced Leicester wool, 166m/182yds per 100g) in shade A, shade B and shade C.
Needles for aran version: 5mm.
Gauge (tension) for aran version: 22 stitches and 22 rows to 10cm/4ins square over pattern using 5mm needles.

This Chevron Stitch hand knit was originally designed in aran as a baby blanket however it also makes a great scarf to keep you cosy warm in the chilly months when knitted in DK yarn.
