    Hi Everyone! I accidentally said "single crochet" at the beginning of Row 2, I meant DOUBLE CROCHET! Sorry for any confusion!! :)

      If I wanted to do this in a single stitch would it be 14 plus 2 or 3? I tried a double stitch for a baby blanket with thick fluffy yarn and I'm just not liking how it turned out. I think a sc would be better.

      If I add another count of 14, will it screw up the count?

    • @charlottehyatt9601
      @charlottehyatt9601 5 років тому +5

      Julie Garcia , you can use as many counts of 14 as you want, Just do the same thing on each 14. Right @Jaydainstitches?

    Thank you for this tutorial! My mom tried to teach me to crochet when I was young. So I had the very basic knowledge. When she passed away 7 years ago, I was the only one who had learned to crochet. When my miracle of a son was born 3 years ago, I realized he would be the only child born without a blanket made by my mom. This spring I saw a chevron crochet afgan at the local thrift store and it inspired me to attempt to make one for myself. I have never crocheted anything bigger than a scarf and they weren't very good. I crocheted for about 5 weeks and hung up my needle because it got too hot to have a heavy blanket on my lap. I picked it back up 3 days ago and finished my king sized chevron quilt. I love it so much! It was fun and easy thanks to you. Now my little sister is pregnant with her first child and this baby too will not have a quilt made by my mom, but they will have a quilt! Just made by me instead. Thank you so much for helpinge pass ony moms tradition!

      I am the same way! My grandma taught me to crochet when I was a kid, like 4 years old. She probably only did it to keep me sitting still, cut she'd always have me crochet coffee coasters. After she passed away, I was the only one she had taught, out of 26 grandkids!! As I got older I had forgotten how, but recently picked it up in her memory. I already made my best friend a mermaid tail blanket, so next is one of these for my boyfriend. And this video is super easy to follow and I cant wait to get started!

      I love your story. I was hopeless at knitting as a girl, didn't have the patience. Never learnt crochet, but got interested in my fifties when I found a book in a charity shop. Taught myself the basics, but every time I tried something new I'd have to start all over again. I have loads of little 'practice' pieces. Then in my sixties I discovered You Tube and have now almost finished a red shawl for myself. Not sure I could tackle a big chevron rug, but I like the idea of it.

She explained the dc3tog (3 double crochets together), but she didn't explained it step by step on how to do (the) stitch(es). I have been crocheting for several years.

I have learned to make the purple dishcloth and from that I expanded into a few double strand bath mats. Recently I made the baby lace fan stitch baby blanket in traditional stash busting pastels. Each of my adult children like the large Santa pillow. I have made ghosties and candy corn! Thank you so much! Oh and I went to my first college town yarn store and felt some of the same thrills you showed when you went on your excursion!

My daughter June, enlisted me to crochet baby blankets for other moms and babies that are born with heart problems. So far we have donated close to 20 blankets. Now that I know how easy this stitch is to do, and also works up so quickly, I'll be making many more blankets to be given to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, aka C.H.O.P..

    Hi Miss #JaydaInStitches I got a notification about this blanket. I've been meaning to try the Chevron stitch but never got around to it. So I looked to my left and sitting there were two skeins of red heart super savers, one in white, the other in red... So I said, "Well, this is it.. meant to be" (even though I dislike super saver yarn bc it's so stiff and scratchy .. but hoping after I wash it, it will soften up) So off I went and started crocheting this and you made it super easy. I've also adopted the way you change colors too and like it so much better than the traditional way.. So a big thank you to you for all that you do... And with a sunshine spirit🌞🌞🌞🌻

    Hey Jayda, I'm now working on my Chevron Afghan. I wanted to offer a hint to my fellow Osteoarthritis sufferers. I bought a copper glove for my right hand. Crocheting aggravates my right thumb (which is extremely painful). The glove really helps. I ve seen them in the "as seen on TV section" in several stores. I'm not selling them. I'm just saying if any one watching your videos (I watch them all and want to do everything I've seen you do and I'm LOVING it!) suffers, this little glove really helps me.

    I enjoy your videos so much. You're upbeat, speak loud and clear, you explain WHY you are doing something (that's important) and stop to check what it's looking like as you work. In November I watched your 'how to make a simple beanie hat' video and boy oh boy- I literally made 10 of them in time for Christmas. They come great and that pattern is easy to size up or down. I used that pattern and made it longer for a silly Dr Seuss-ish hat. thank you!

    Ms. Jayda. I tried your chevron stitch afghan. My mom taught me a simular stitch years ago, but I forgot just how to do it. Anywho... it turned out so great that I decided to make blankets for all my grandchildren for Christmas. 14 grandchildren. I'm doing 130 stitches across and am calling them lapwraps. Small enough to drag thru the house, but big enough to snuggle up and watch t.v. You, my dear, have created a monster! I'm currently on blanket 17 and not seeing any end to my madness. I love this! Making them brings me so much peace. Thank you for teaching me. On to the next! Big loves

    My problem with crocheting is tension in keeping whatever I stitch even, which is why I have decided to make this Afghan hoping I can make it look even. You are so patient in doing these tutorials! You are a wonderful teacher,

    • @JaydaInStitches
      @JaydaInStitches  4 роки тому

      Hi Sofia! Tension is something that evens out over time, so don't stress it too much :) Even in the same blanket project you might see your tension change from tight to looser, or loose to tighter - this has a lot to do with your comfort with the pattern (it often evens out as you work more of the blanket pattern) and tension can be affected by your physical comfort levels too! Are you cold, warm, tense, happy, irritated? Sometimes it helps to have a little "nothing" project nearby that you can work a few stitches on to warm up before you head to your real project :)
