Free Crochet Pattern: Chevron Blanket

I've been working on this blanket for months and months and I'm so happy it's finished! I find myself looking at it again and again during the day.  It's so colorful and so happy.  It livens up my mostly brown living room :) It's made from mostly thrifted yarn (which I did wash  by the way) and my left-over scraps, so it was cheap to make too.
