Chevron Pattern

I'm working on a pattern that calls for the guage swatch to be done in "chevron pat" but there's no distinction on what that IS in the pattern :(  Is there a standard chevron pattern that I should know about?

The only information I can find thus far is one that said it's done in a pattern of eight stitches.  Is there a common one, or am I missing something?

Hi toyelf,

What is your pattern name?  or a link to it. 

There are many patterns called chevron as you can see here, they are all different but go by that name. 

http://www.yarn.com/webs-knitting-patterns-free-tahki-yarns/webs-free-knitting-patterns-tahki-bellevue-tunic/  (8 stitch-same as below)

http://knitting.about.com/od/stitchglossary/g/chevron.htm  (8 stitch)

http://knitting.about.com/od/stitchglossary/g/chevron.htm  (6 stitch)

http://www.knittingonthenet.com/stitches/chevronsingle.htm (8 stitch)

So it would be good to show a picture of your project or where to see it.  I posted a few links to some chevron(s) so you can see for reference. 

There must be a guide to it somewhere in your pattern, like on a page that continues your pattern?  Or if you are using a book or magazine, if not IN the pattern, then on another page of book or magazine.  Did you check other pages if there some?

hi toyelf,

did you notice that your number of posts don't change?  It still shows "8" even though you posted a few times more?

thanks so much! the 8-stitch chevron is what I was thinking are what is called for.  I'm doing the pan-am jacket
