Caron Simply Soft yarn in rainbow colors

What was your inspiration?

I had the yarn and wanted to try a chevron pattern. So many people have asked how I made it that I thought it easiest to post it here to share.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

be prepared to weave in a lot of ends. Oh my, I hate that part!
