Calming Chevron Knit Blanket Pattern
The Calming Chevron Knit Blanket Pattern creates a beautiful piece of knitting to show off in your home. It will be gorgeous folded over the back of the couch and cozy for your lap. Unlike a lot of chevron patterns, this blanket pattern uses soft neutral colors, which allows for greater relaxation and calm. But, if you are looking for a bit of pizzazz, you can always replace the colors with bright, popping ones. It is completely up to your creative impulse. Get your needles ready!
