❓ FAQs
Q: Can I use different yarn weights?
Yes! Just adjust your hook size accordingly and make a swatch to measure gauge.
Q: What’s the best way to join new colors?
Use the invisible color join method or join at the end of a row and weave ends neatly into the side.
Q: Why is my chevron rippling too much or too little?
Check your stitch count—skipping or adding stitches accidentally will distort the zigzag.
