Wavy Ripple vs. sharp chevron


Kayla Jackson

Question

How do you crochet sharp chevrons and not wavy ripples when you crochet a blanket? (Chevron in the last pics, ripple in the first one)

Is it how many stitches you add between increases and decreases, the increases or decreases themselves, or what? I like the sharp chevrons, not so much the ripples, because the chevrons seem more modern, while the ripples are more retro. Maybe it’s just me :) I'm new to ripple/chevron crocheting and wanted to crochet a blanket, but also make sure I do it right lol. So I wanted to make sure I get chevrons and not ripples.

Funny, I think of it the other way around- not the construction explanation, but the sharp chevrons in SC can be seen in patterns from the 1800s, but the soft gradual waves and taller stitches seem to be more popular lately.  Who knows, they're both pretty  :hook
