Notes

Treble crochet chevron pattern from the Harmony Guides crochet stitch dictionary.

I wanted something warm, so it had to be wool; washable was a bonus, so superwash. I also wanted something very colourful to cheer up the dull gray-brown of winter. I wanted the price to be low, so Cygnet yarns were chosen. It doesn’t need to be very wide or very long, it’s to keep my lap and knees warm until the car-cabin warms up; I’ll post the finished size and some pictures when I’m done with it.

Running low on yarn, time to stop o.O

I’m still using this, it’s still soft, still warm, still colourful.
