If granny squares are my favorite crochet design, chevrons have to be a close second. The peaks and valleys of chevrons are so meditative and work up insanely fast. I designed and completed the Autumn Skies Afghan in just 4 days while recovering from a wicked cold. Thank goodness I had a healthy supply of tissues, yarn, and audiobooks!

I’ve had the idea to make a chevron throw blanket for a long time and finally committed. One of the hardest choices was choosing colors. A single color chevron blanket is just so classic, oozing with understated elegance. But a colorful one has the ability to stand out and tie a room together. I decided to throw caution to the wind and pulled SEVEN different colors of Lion Brand’s new Basic Stitch Premium for this design.

Basic Stitch Premium is a 100% acrylic yarn designed to be your new go-to yarn. It’s worsted weight (a crocheter’s dream!) and comes in 18 classic colors. They all blend really well together – I could have chosen any 7 colors from the Basic Stitch Premium line and they all would have been perfect for the Autumn Skies Afghan. Overall, I had a great experience using this yarn for the first time. Explore the full collection of Basic Stitch Premium on the Lion Brand website.

The Autumn Skies Afghan is a lightweight crochet throw blanket. Start with a few setup rows to establish the pattern, then breeze through row after row of double crochet stitches in a gentle wave pattern. The repeats are easy to remember and a joy to crochet. Sections of solid stitching are broken up by mesh, keeping the design playful and engaging.
