Single Chevron Stitch Pattern

The single chevron stitch is a lovely textured pattern using knit and purl stitches. 

It creates pretty wavy lines or zigzags across your knitting. 

It's very similar to the ripple stitch, zigzag stitch and the afghan stitch patterns which are all pattern variations.  

This one in particular seems more dainty and pretty and that's why I chose it.

It's a nice way to add some textured stitches and it's fun to knit too.

If you're knitting a sweater in Stockinette you may enjoy trying the single chevron stitch instead to add more interest. 

Some knitted chevron patterns are made with pretty little eyelets for a very feminine, delicate texture.

 And some pattern variations are made with different colors for a really colorful effect. 

This chevron stitch pattern is a nice simple pattern to try. And it's so fun to knit. 

You can knit practically anything with the single chevron stitch and I'm sure it'll be lovely, here are a few ideas: 

• knitted blankets
• throws
• pillow covers
• scarves
• pullovers
• cardigans 
• hats

You'll also find many pattern variations for the chevron stitch or zigzag stitch. Some chevron patterns look more rounded and much thicker.

I chose the single chevron stitch because it's quite simple to do and it uses knit and purl stitches only. It's also kind of dainty looking.
