What Is the Granny Stripe Crochet Stitch?
The Granny Chevron Stitch is simply a variation of the Granny Square Crochet Stitch. A cluster stitch consisting of three double crochets together. Traditionally done in rounds of 3-4 to make small squares or worked continuously to make infinity blankets, the granny chevron is worked in rows with increases and decreases to make peaks and valleys that create that waved look to the rows. Enjoy!
