Thickness, lace, and chevrons all in one afghan? Yes, you read that right! It might sound like an odd combination, but it truly works to create a warm, modern, fashionable afghan. Use it as a blanket or even wrap it around you like a shawl. Using one of my all time favorite stitch patterns, this afghan is crocheted from the bottom up in one solid color, although you are welcomed to change colors if you prefer. The pattern creates a chevron pattern by alternating solid and lacy rows. Using a super bulky weight yarn and a large crochet look, the afghan will probably be one of the fastest you’ve ever crocheted.
