Learn to crochet the Horizontal Chevron Stitch 💕

For this Tuesday's tutorial, I've decided to demonstrate how to crochet a modified version of the Horizontal Chevron Stitch. It uses only single crochet and a modified version of Front Post Treble Crochet. It's modified in the sense that there is no gap in the back where a stitch is usually skipped when working post stitches. That modification makes it great for use with garments and even blankets when you aren't wanting gaps in your fabric. There is a video tutorial below the written directions, as well. If you'd like to pin it, here's an image for you to pin :)

Here's a pin for you :)

Have you ever used a Furl's hook?? I just got my first ones earlier this year and all I can say is "WOW!" I love it! They have a lovely weight to them and I love how the tip is not too blunt. I feel like it even shaved a bit of time off of a baby afghan I made a couple months ago. If you ever feel like trying one, please consider using my affiliate links below.
