Knit with Aabhar – Diagonal Chevron Zig Zag Stitch Pattern

Pattern Description

---

Diagonal Chevron Zig Zag Stitch is a reversible and highly textured knitting pattern that’s super easy. It only has basic knits and purls that create an embossed arrangement of chevrons stacked diagonally. Unlike many other knitting patterns, it almost lays flat after knitting, and you may only need minimal blocking to straighten it out completely. ‘Rib and Welt Diagonals’ or simply ‘Welt’ stitch are other popular names for this knitting pattern.

Diagonal Chevron Zig Zag Stitch is a strikingly graphic pattern with bold textures and will look amazing in projects like baby blankets, scarves, cowls, and afghans.
