How to crochet chevron stitch - peephole chevrons
Step 1
Peephole crochet chevron stitch is the simplest way of making crochet chevrons for beginners, as it doesn’t require any tricky decrease stitches.
To start off, make 23ch (if you want to make it longer you can use any multiple of 10 + 3ch for your turning ch)

At this point your crochet will only have a very subtle waviness to it, but don’t worry, the chevrons will become more pronounced as you complete more rows.

Peephole chevron crochet stitches are called so because the skipping of stitches create sweet little peephole eyelets. Next we’ll show you how to crochet chevron stitches without these holes, creating a fuller fabric.
How to crochet chevron stitch - simple chevrons
Step 1
To crochet simple chevron stitch, you will need to make a multiple of 10ch + 1 (plus 3ch for turning ch)
In this example, we will start with 24ch.

…now we’re going to make a tr3tog (a decrease of 3 trebles). To do this, *yarn round hook (yrh), insert hook into next stitch, yrh, pull through stitch, yrh, pull through 2 loops; repeat from * 3 times, which will leave 4 loops on your hook, yrh and pull through all 4 loops…

And that’s the basics of how you make a simple crochet chevron. It’s worth noting that there can be a few different variants with chevrons, which can make a difference to both the width and angles of your chevron. For example, in this tutorial we’ve used tr3tog and 3tr stitches to create our angles, but some patterns may use two sets of tr2tog and 2tr stitches to create angles instead. However, the essential technique is the same, where you use increase stitches to make your upper arch, and decrease stitches to make your dip/lower arch.
Now we’ll show you one more chevron technique for super-solid chevrons using double crochet stitches!
How to crochet chevrons - double crochet stitch (US single crochet chevrons)
Step 1
To crochet double crochet chevron stitch (which in US terms would be single crochet chevron stitch), you will need to make a chain in multiple of 11sts +1 (plus 1 for turning chain)
In this example we will be starting with a ch24
![How_to_crochet_chevron_stitch_dc_step_01 How_to_crochet_chevron_stitch_dc_step_01](https://c02.purpledshub.com/uploads/sites/51/2021/06/How_to_crochet_chevron_stitch_dc_step_01-5fb10e5.jpg)
Step 2
Row 1 2dc in second chain from hook...
...and dc in next 4ch...
...skip 2ch, dc in next 4ch...
...3dc into next ch...
...then dc into each of next 4ch...
...skip 2ch, dc in next 4ch...
...then 2dc in the final ch. Turn.
Step 3
Row 2 To start your second row, ch1 (does not count as stitch), 2dc in first stitch...
...dc in next 4sts...
...skip 2dc, dc in next 4sts....
...3dc in next stitch...
...dc in next 4sts...
...skip 2dc, dc in next 4sts...
...2dc in last stitch. Turn.
Then just repeat row 2 to make more rows!
