Neon Chevron Blanket

 
I have been wanting to try making a chevron blanket for awhile now but for some reason I was intimidated by most of the patterns I came across so I didn't bother. But when I decided to have chevron as a design feature in baby's nursery I had to give it a shot.
I did find a pattern here I basically followed it but I made a few changes.
1. I changed colors every 8 rows instead of 10
2. I did not fill in the triangles at the top and bottom of the blanket, I like the ripples.
3. I added a border color (sc all the way around)

After a little over 2 weeks of work it is all done, and I must say, I love it.
yes, the colors are bright for a nursery but I love neon and the yarn was on sale! Obviously you can use any color combo you want but I was feeling adventurous.

Here it is!
