Chevron or Ripple Stitch

Chevron crochet consists of repeating V shapes in the pattern. The number of multiples you start with is the same number of Vs you’ll make. For example, if you choose a multiple of (12 x 6) + 2, you’ll have 6 Vs. The width of your project is based on your crochet hook and yarn choice, as well as your tension.

For the normal chevron pattern each “peak” or increase is going to have 3 stitches in 1 stitch, so you need one stitch for the increase. Each “valley” or decrease is going to have 3 stitches worked together so you need to have three stitches for each decrease.
