Long Shell Chevron Stitch

"Long shell chevron stitch, this beautiful free stitch tutorial is my version of the vintage fan ripple stitch, I have used a treble (dtr for UK users) stitch, use this design to crochet baby blankets, afghans, throws etc. The materials used for the swatches were a light weight #3 (double knitting for UK users) soft baby yarn with a 4.00mm crochet hook size. Looks stunning when worked up, I have used three colours, but you can use two shades if you want."
