Crocheted Chevron Afghan

Daughter #2 had a birthday, and I ventured out with my beginning crochet skills to make a

Chevron Afghan for her home.

Chevrons seem to be quite popular right now in quilt fabrics and quilt designs.

I'm hoping the same holds true for afghans.

 I chose colors to match Amy's living room.

The Chevron pattern has several alternative names:

Zig Zag

Wave Stitch

V-Shaped
Ripples

The Chevron design has ancient roots, where examples of the motif were discovered on pottery dating back to 1800 BC

I chose this pattern because it looked doable for a beginner.

There are a lot of free tutorials on the Internet, which helped me get started. 

Once the first few rows were established, it was easy breezy from there on out.
