Waffle Chevron Stitch Crochet Pattern
Special Stitches & Terms
Foundation Loop: Large loops created on the foundation row by working dc in the 3rd chain from hook.
Shell: Work (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) all in the same space.
Beginning Decrease Shell (beg dec shell): [Yarn over, insert hook into next dc, pull up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops] four times, yarn over and pull through all loops on hook.
Decrease Shell (dec shell): [Yarn over, insert hook into next dc, pull up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops] two times, skip next decrease shell, repeat once more, yarn over and pull through all loops on hook.
Style 1: Reversible Waffle Chevron Blanket
Foundation Row
Ch 13, dc in 3rd ch from hook – repeat this sequence 11 times, then ch 11.
(You can make the blanket wider by working any odd number of repeats before ending with the final ch 11. The sample used 11 loops.)
Note: The pattern uses 10 chains between foundation loops. To adjust the width of each chevron, increase the number of chains (e.g., 12 or 14) while keeping it an even number. For example, begin with ch 15 or ch 17 instead of ch 13.
Row 1
Working back across foundation: dc in 3rd ch from hook and in next 8 ch, shell in foundation loop, dc in next 10 ch.
(Skip next foundation loop, dc in 10 ch, shell in next foundation loop, dc in 10 ch) – repeat across.
Ch 2, turn. (Turning ch counts as first dc of the next row.)
Row 2
Fpdc around post of next dc, (dc in next dc, fpdc around next dc) 5 times, shell in ch-1 space.
Repeat across as: (dc in next dc, fpdc around next dc) 5 times, beg dec shell over next 4 dc, (dc in next dc, fpdc around next dc) 5 times, shell in ch-1 space.
Finish with (dc in next dc, fpdc around next dc) 6 times.
Ch 1, turn.
Row 3
Skip 2 dc, (dc in next dc, fpdc around next dc) 6 times, shell in ch-1 space, (dc in next dc, fpdc around next dc) 5 times, dec shell over next 5 sts, (dc in next dc, fpdc around next dc) 5 times, shell in ch-1 space) repeat.
End with (dc in next dc, fpdc around next dc) 6 times, skip last 2 dc.
Ch 1, turn.
Remaining Rows
Repeat Row 3 until the blanket reaches your desired length. Switch yarn colors to create stripes if you like.
(Sample shown: 7 stripes of 9 rows each.)
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Style 2: Double Reversible Waffle Chevron Blanket
Foundation Row
Ch 17, dc in 3rd ch from hook – repeat this sequence 11 times, then ch 15.
(As with Style 1, width can be adjusted by working any odd number of repeats before the final ch 15.)
Row 1
Dc in 3rd ch from hook and in next 12 ch, shell in foundation loop, dc in next 14 ch.
(Skip next foundation loop, dc in 14 ch, shell in foundation loop, dc in 14 ch) – repeat across.
Ch 1, turn.
Row 2
Skip 2 dc, fpdc around next 2 dc, (dc in next 2 dc, fpdc around next 2 dc) 3 times, shell in ch-1 space.
Repeat across as: fpdc around 2 dc, (dc in next 2 dc, fpdc around next 2 dc) 3 times, beg dec shell over 4 dc, fpdc around 2 dc, (dc in next 2 dc, fpdc around next 2 dc) 3 times, shell in ch-1 space.
End with fpdc around 2 dc, (dc in 2 dc, fpdc around 2 dc) 3 times, skip last 2 dc.
Ch 1, turn.
Row 3
Skip 2 dc, fpdc around next 2 dc, (dc in next 2 dc, fpdc around next 2 dc) 3 times, shell in ch-1 space.
Repeat across as: fpdc around 2 dc, (dc in next 2 dc, fpdc around next 2 dc) 3 times, dec shell over 5 sts, fpdc around 2 dc, (dc in next 2 dc, fpdc around 2 dc) 3 times, shell in ch-1 space.
End with fpdc around 2 dc, (dc in 2 dc, fpdc around 2 dc) 3 times, skip last 2 dc.
Ch 1, turn.
Remaining Rows
Continue repeating Row 3 until the blanket measures the length you want. Change yarn colors as desired.
(Sample shown: 11 stripes of 7 rows each.)
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Tips for Success
Use a yarn with good stitch definition (such as worsted weight cotton or acrylic) to make the waffle texture stand out.
Stripes look especially eye-catching when alternating bold and neutral shades.
This stitch produces a thick, textured fabric, so it’s excellent for cozy throws, winter blankets, or even cushion covers.
✨ The Waffle Chevron Stitch is both relaxing to crochet and impressive in design. Whether you choose the single or double reversible version, the result is a blanket full of texture, warmth, and beauty.
