1. Knitting in technicolor blanket
This blanket’s design is a simple two-row technique. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll breeze right through it. The pattern is suitable for any knitter, including a beginner who wants to move on from scarves. It’s also a great way to use up yarn scraps of the same weight!

2. Chevron iPad sleeve
Chevrons look cool on any accessory, including one for your tech gadgets. This iPad sleeve could also double as a clutch. Velcro closures make sure none of your precious gadgets slide out of the sleeve when you’re on the go.

3. Chevron boot cuffs
These boot cuffs come in three sizes to fit anyone. Some knowledge of stranded colorwork and knitting in the round will get you through this pattern with no issues. You can use either double-pointed needles or a 16-inch circular needle for your in-the-round work.

4. Chevron pillow
This pillow was originally designed for a garden chair, but it would look equally awesome on your couch. The buttons make the pillow cover removable, meaning a spill is simple to clean.

6. Chevron heraldry sweater
This cropped sweater is versatile enough to go from casual to evening if you pair it with the right accessories. I love the two shades of blue used in the design, but you could also pair your favorite color with a neutral — red and gray, perhaps? — for a completely different color palette. Designer AllysonD also suggests belting the sweater for a more put-together look.

7. Chevron bamboo tunic
A loose fit and a cool bamboo yarn make this the ideal knit for summer days. Not crazy about the loose silhouette? Belt it and cinch that waist a bit. You can also save time and frustration when you use a variegated yarn: You’ll get lots of color without having to worry about changing colors!
