For those of you who want to continue crocheting in the warmer months, here is a lovely free pattern for your home, kitchen towel.

 

Make them in 100% cotton for good absorbency and durability. I had made them for a friend a couple of months ago and found the time to write down the pattern only recently.

  
The chevron used a combination of alternate double crochet and single crochet rows. This makes it a quicker version of the chevron stitch when compared to the tedious single crochet chevron.

 

This summer,  you can expect more designs for your home from Crochet Dreamz. So what are you waiting for? Grab your hooks and yarn and get going.

I don’t get the direction to 2 sc in same st as ch 1 and the 1 dc in same st as ch 3. I’m at a loss. Can you help me figure out where this is?

You would be working the 2sc and 1 dc into the very first st.

I can’t seem to get the sides to stay straight, I’m counting my stitches for each row. I have had this problem before with the chevron stitch. Any suggestions?

Hi Sheryl, it is the increase at the ends that keeps the edges straight. If that isn't working for you, why not try adding one more stitch in the first and the last stitch. I would suggest you try it on a small swatch first.

Love the pattern! I’m however having trouble as well not getting 48 stitches. I’ve done it over multiple times. For the 48+3, wouldn’t it be total 51 chains? A little lost, sorry!

Hi Courtney, Yes, the initial chain would be 51. If you are getting 47 instead of 48, that is because the beginning ch-3 is also counted as a stitch. I found that this kept the edges neater.

Thank you for this. Wondering if there is a PDF version that I can purchase? Just makes it so much easier to save to my iPad. Thanks!

Hi Wanda, I will be adding links to purchase my free patterns in PDF format soon. Since I just redesigned my blog, it might take me a while. Thank you for your patience.
