Chevron (Baby) Blanket

The Chevron Baby Blanket is a great basic pattern with an elegant, modern aesthetic. It makes a great baby gift, or you can make it adult sized and snuggle under it during Netflix binges. It works up wonderfully in affordable, machine washable Cascade Avalon (ON SALE!) with 5mm/US8 needles – see some colour ideas below.
