Hi guys in this tutorial I'm going to show you how you can square off your
Chevron blanket if that's what you wish to do so I'll show you how to do
the tops and also how to do the corners so you'll just need to use the yarn that
you used for your project you will need the same hook size as what you used
before so I'm going to use a four millimeter and you will also need some
scissors for cutting off your ends so first of all I'm going to show you how
to fill in these sections here so this will be at the top and at the bottom of
your blanket as you work your blanket the sides will actually be
straight anyway so I shall show you how to fill in these gaps just here so first
of all you want to insert your yarn into the eleventh stitch so the best way to
do this is actually count from the bottom so if you just remember that
we skipped some stitches here so you would just count eleven stitches up and
attach your yarn however you want to attach it so I've now attached my yarn
and what I'm going to do is insert my hook into that same space and yarn over
and pull through and then just chain one and that's going to class as our first
stitch now we're going to be using the same stitches as what we use before
which is double crochet remember that's the UK term in the US this is known as
single crochet so this is our first stitch and we're going to do 11 as we
normally would to go down to our trough in the chevron all the way down to the
bottom so this is one two three four five
six
seven eight nine ten and eleven so we're at this point now and the next two
stitches were actually going to skip as we would normally so skip this stitch
skip the next one and then you're going to do a double crochet into this next
one and that's going to count as your first one and you're going to do eleven
double crochet all the way up to the top so one two three four five six seven
eight nine ten and eleven so you might just want to count your stitches before
you move on to the next row just to make sure that you're doing this correctly
once you've got to the top you want to chain one and turn your work and we're
going to be working our way back down so this is going to class as our first
stitch we're not going to be working into the base of that stitch we're going
to skip the next stitch and then work into the one after that so that's
our chain one classes out as our first stitch so this is two three
four five six
seven eight and nine so we're going to do nine stitches in total for each row
that we and work our way up now we will always loose two stitches on these sides
and the chain one will always count as a stitch so that's nine were then
going to skip the next two chains and then do nine double crochets into these
stitches here so pause the video and work your nine double crochets all the
way up to the top and I'll meet you back in the next round so I've just finished
my ninth double crochet I'm going to chain one turn my work and if you
remember we're not going to work into the base of this chain we're
going to skip one and work into the next one so this time we'll be doing seven so
I've done my chain one that double crochet is classed as the second this is
three four five
six and seven we're going to skip two do a double crochet into the next one and
work seven stitches all the way up so this is the first one so six more and I
shall meet you back in the next round I've just completed my seventh double
crochet I'm going to chain one turn my work this is going to class as my
first stitch don't work into the base of the chain skip one and do our stitch
number two three four and five skip two and five double crochet
chain one turn your work don't work into the base skip one and this will be our
second double crochet so your second stitch so one two and three skip two
and work three double crochet one two three nearly finished so you want to
chain one turn your work and this time we are going to be working into those
chains that we've been skipping so not into the base of this chain skip one you
want to do a double crochet and a double crochet into the next stitch skip one
and you just want to slip stitch into that next stitch along pull your yarn
through snip it off pull nice and tight and you have filled in your triangle
section so the next thing we want to do is work on the corner so if you remember
in the corners or on the edges we have these two double crochets that we always
started either end with so we just have to consider that now the easiest way to
do this is to always start on the corner so even though this is the front of my
work I'm going to flip this round and I'm going to attach my yarn just in at
the edge here so I've attached my yarn I'm going to insert my hook and yarn
over and pull through and then just chain one to start this is going to
class as our first double crochet and then I'm going to do another one into
the next stitch here so that's our two double crochets were then going
to skip a chain space and then do 11 double crochets all the way along this
edge that's my first one there you want to pause the video and work your
way up all the way to the top till you get to 11 double crochets so this is my
11th double crochet it's going to be similar procedure to before I'm going to
yarn over and pull through turn my work over we're not going to be working into
the base of this stitch we're going to skip one and then work our way down so
that chain one is classing as one double crochet so this is two and we're going
to work 9 double crochets all together this is 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 we're going to
skip one chain and then do two double crochets into the last two chains now
because we've just attached our yarn here this stitch might look a bit funky
so you just have to sort of pull it out and get in there the best you can
sometimes I even go into the one below and just make it a little bit of a
looser stitch but either way you'll be fine it's just that very first one where
you've attached where you might get a problem so now you want to chain one and
turn and that's going to class as the first double crochet we're going to do
another double so that's our two double crochets for the edge skip one and then
we're going to do seven double crochets because we always loose two stitches so
this is our first one and if you want to go ahead and pause the video and work
six more so this one is my seventh stitch I'm
going to chain one turn the work that's going to class as our first one don't
work in the base skip the next one and then work five stitches in total so two
three four and five skip the next stitch and then work two double crochets into
the last two stitches chain one and turn the work we're going to do another
double crochet into the next space along and that's classing as our two stitches
skip one stitch and then work three double crochets one two and three chain
one turn the work don't work into the base skip one and do one double crochet
and just to finish off this end what you want to do is do a treble crochet into
the last chain along so just to confuse things treble crochet is the UK term in
the US this is actually known as a double crochet so yarn over insert yarn
over pull through three loops on the hook yarn over pull through two you have
two loops on the hook and yarn over pull through both loops on the hook yarn over
and pull through again snip off your yarn pull that out and pull it nice and
tight and that is your corner all finished
so all that you would have left to do is sew in the ends here and I shall leave a
link in the description box of how I do that so I really hope this tutorials
help you out I know a lot of people were
