Pattern Notes:

In my opinion, this stitch is easier to understand when you see it done. Should you need a tutorial for the Tunisian Chevron stitch (available in written or video format here), you’ll want to master that first, then start with the free pattern below.

To change to a new color, you’ll use the new color to pull through the last two loops of the backward pass. This is very similar to how you change colors in regular crochet.

Pattern:

With color A (Red Heart With Love in “Stone” pictured)
Row 1: Ch-169. Pull up a loop in back bar of 2nd ch from hook and each ch to end. Backward pass: Ch-1, * yarn over, pull through two loops. * repeat between * * to end.
