Welcome to Day 16 of the 21 Days of Beginner Knit Stitches Series:
Chevron Knit Stitch

:) Pattern, Knit Flat:

• CO in multiples of 8+1
• This is kinda reversible, see the photos below, they’re not exactly the same, but similar.
• Row 2 = Right side/Front
• For my swatch I CO 25 STS
• Row 1: K1 *P7, K1*
• Row 2: P1 *K7, P1* {k the k’s and p the p’s}
• Row 3: K2 *P5, K3* P5, K2
• Row 4: P2 *K5, P3* K5, P2 {k the k’s and p the p’s}
• Row 5: K3 *P3, K5* P3, K3
• Row 6: P3 *K3, P5* K3, P3 {k the k’s and p the p’s}
• Row 7: K4 *P1, K7* P1, K4
• Row 8: P4 *K1, P7* K1, P4 {k the k’s and p the p’s}
• Row 9: P1 *K7, P1* {same as row 2}
• Row 10: K1 *P7, K1* {same as row 1} {k the k’s and p the p’s}
• Row 11: P2 *K5, P3* K5, P2 {same as row 4}
• Row 12: K2 *P5, K3* P5, K2 {same as row 3} {k the k’s and p the p’s}
• Row 13: P3 *K3, P5* K3, P3 {same as row 6}
• Row 14: K3 *P3, K5* P3, K3 {same as row 5} {k the k’s and p the p’s}
• Row 15: P4 *K1, P7* K1, P4 {same as row 8}
• Row 16: K4 *P1, K7* P1, K4 {same as row 7} {k the k’s and p the p’s}
• Repeat rows 1-16 until desired length.
• If you’re not adding a border, to BO I recommend ending on a row 15 and BO in the row 16 pattern.
• The whole thing is a bit wavy and has a tendency to curl, so I definitely recommend a border on your finished project.
