Summer Direction Crochet-A-Long
Sections 11 and 12: repeat Chevron b
If this isn’t the section you’re working on, return to the list of sections for interlocking crochet or overlay mosaic crochet.
Interlocking & Mosaic
This free crochet-a-long (CAL) is written for both interlocking crochet and overlay mosaic crochet.
This page has no written pattern because we are repeating earlier sections. Jump down to find more details.
Free or Paid
Each section of the Summer Direction CAL was published separately on my website for free. A new YouTube walk-thru for that section of the pattern was published at the same time.
If you’re looking for the full written pattern or the x-marked charts, they’re included in the paid PDF version of Summer Direction. I appreciate all the support!
Original Blog Entry
Today is my birthday! My kids got me three giant balls of soft jumbo blanket yarn. It was not a surprise, hahaha, because dad didn’t hide it well! I have a ball of neon green, and two balls of neon pink. Now, what to make with it?
Of course, since I am a mom, I made the cake myself (Remi helped me with the sprinkles), I didn’t get photos of any of the festivities, and I am left with the clean up.
I remember in high school some kids would take the day off when it was their birthday. Their birthday was the most important event of the year for them. No way were they working their part time job after school on that day. “Me-time” to the max!
For me it has usually just been another day. I feel uncomfortable when everyone stares at me and expects me to blow out the candles. I get nervous that I won’t have the appropriate surprise-and-thank-you reaction. I like the kids’ birthdays better. That’s fun for me.
This year I tried to enjoy the moments but I need to sneak in a little bit of “work” now. My crochet stuff is sort of work, sort of hobby, sort of my favorite thing but also has random deadlines and can sometimes be stressful. So, it is “work” now.
Crochet-A-Long Journey
This pattern will be FREE forever here on the blog and each section has a FREE YouTube walk-thru as well! You can see a list of all my CALs here: www.AshleesLint.com/CALs
The next two sections in my Summer Direction CAL don’t require much from me (I did all the real work earlier) so I am posting this even though it is my birthday and then I will go crochet some more!
We need to replicate the opposite of the chevrons that were at the beginning of the project, so we are doing Chevron B twice.
If you’re doing overlay mosaic crochet then you simply repeat the section.
If you are using the interlocking crochet technique (what I call Locked Filet Mesh / LFM) then you need to first do Chevron B starting with the Wrong Side (WS) and then do Chevron B starting with the Right Side (RS).
After this we only have the final border lines and the finishing touch: an envelope border on the mosaic piece or a simple single crochet border on the interlocking. That section will be published in only a couple days – I am determined to finish this Summer Direction Crochet-A-Long before Summer ends (the fall equinox is on September 21 I think).
If you need a reminder of the key and other important information please see the landing page for the technique you’re using!
In case you were skimming through all of that, for mosaic crochet, repeat Chevron B for sections 11 and 12.
For interlocking crochet, do Chevron B (WS) for section 11 and Chevron B (RS) for section 12!
By the way, I have been enjoying all the birthday love in my Facebook group, thanks everyone!
There’s no mosaic crochet pattern shown here because we are just repeating the pattern found at https://ashleeslint.com/2021/09/03/summer-direction-cal-chevron-b/
Numbered Sections
I realize this CAL got a bit confusing with all the jumping between sections.
The Chevron B section is used for sections 6, 9, 11, and 12.
That’s it for now!
Once you’ve completed Chevron B twice (for sections 11 and 12), head to the final border lines section. Or return to the list of available sections.

Interlocking Crochet: Chevron B (WS) & (RS)
We are nearing the end of our blanket and that means we have already done sections with these chevrons!
Numbered Sections
I realize this CAL got a bit confusing with all the jumping between sections AND the right side/wrong side business.
This post covers sections 11 and 12 but there is no pattern here. We will be repeating earlier sections.
For section 11, use Chevron B, WS (also used for section 9).
For section 12, use Chevron B, RS (also used for section 6).
That’s it for now!
Head to the Final Border Lines section or return to the list of available sections.
