I love chevron patterns and this blanket or throw is a really nice one. The pattern is not hard to do and the color combinations work very well with the big sections broken up by the smaller sections in brown. Although the brushed Dreamy yarn is nice, I'm sure you could substitute almost any worsted weight yarn and it would still look good.
