Starting my own blanket based on this. (a whopping 649 stitches!) ((hopefully I counted them right!)) it'll take a long time but its about time I started a real project. I loved the video! it was very clear in what steps happened, and you have a easy demonstration with each step!
thank you so much! my grandmother used to make a full size blanket just like this and now having great grandchildren coming along she has forgotten much of what she used to knit and this will be a great help!
Attention everyone who keeps dropping a stitch, I figured it out for us! The YO is not actually a stitch, but preparation for the Knit stitch following it. So DO NOT count it as a stitch, when you complete the YO as you have been doing, that is actually the YO and the following K. Row 1: K1, SSK, K9 (put your yarn into YO position) K1 (YO position) K10 MD K10 Repeat until 13 sts remain. Last 13: (YO) K1 (YO) K9, K2tog, K1 Row 2: Purl all, Purl YO stitches from behind
Finally! I found a good tutorial of someone who knits like I do! My mom passed away when I was very young, and I have a chevron patterned afghan that she made. I have always wanted to make one like it but was too intimidated by the pattern. I keep wishing she was still here to show me how to make the items she made. Thank you for making this video! You have made me one happy lady!!
To make a larger blanket, cast on multiples of 24 stitches + 1 stitch at the end. For example, (24+24+24+24+24+24+24+1). The current pattern is (24+24+24+24+24+1)=121 stitches :)
I did the bigger one with 169 sts, but at the end I don't have enought sts to complet de sequence with the 13 sts remain... WhatI did wrong? Sorry, english isn't my first langage...
To never run out of the tail for the long-tail cast on: slip stitch together two ends of two balls/skeins. Cast on per usual. Once all your stitches are counted and correct, you can cut off one of the ends. There are videos on this technique. It's a real treasure! Thank you for your video.
You absolutely rule. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Making this for a gift. I was worried about a lot of re-do, since I haven't knit much for a while. No longer worried. Beautiful blanket & beautiful baby!
Thank you for this tutorial! This is going to be a gift for a little girl due in March. I'm planning on continuing with the stocking net stitch toward the top of the blanket (no pattern) to knit her name into it.
Hi again , I made this for my nephew in grey and light brown combination and it turned out beautiful. Thanks a lot, You made my life a little better with this tutorial. You are a great teacher with your simple and easy methods. Much love 😍
You did a wonderful job and the color choice is so pretty...thank you so much for taking the time to make tutorials...I'm a crocheter but this video and all of your other tutorials has given me the confidence I need...I really believe I can make this with no problems at all thank you again
This is so helpful to me - I am just about to start knitting a Chevron blanket, and was uncertain about a couple of things, but this video has really helped me - thanks so much!
Excellent!!! Tutorial on the very project I wanted to knit! Your illustrations are easy to understand and follow, you have a calming voice and loved the background music too!! Signed: A new subscriber
Thank you thank you thank you I was getting so mad trying to figure the pattern out and after ripping it out 20 times I found your video I now have a blanket on the needles and I have finished 4 colors so far :) thank you again
Heads up, blinding off with all knit stitches as shown in this video will leave a straight edge, rather than chevron pattern. If you want the ends to match, bind off using the chevron repeat pattern.
Thanks so much for the knit along. I fell in love with this pattern when I saw it on revelry. Your video was very helpful for ssk and md which I had never done before. Thanks again!
You are awesome! Thanks for making this video! I almost gave up hope making this blanket because I messed up the pattern the first go around, but luckily found your link in the user section of Ravelry! It's a very patient video with great step by step instructions. :)
Thanks for showing me the MD in there - I guess a lot of people call it the CDD or center double decrease. I’ve done it for a Joji Locatelli pattern but I’ve never heard it called an MD. Thx again!
Im going to be brave and try this one I made the bella gloves, the cable slippers and the cottage slipper socks. I think I can do this colorwork makes me nervous, but you maje everything seem sooo easy!!! Love all your videos!!! Your awesome!!!!
***** it came out awesome!!! I made the bella gloves!!I could never have done it without your videos. Ill have to post a pic of them. Im now making my second chevron blanket for a boy this time.
I love your videos. Thank you so much for being such a great teacher. I am trying to make this pattern. Made it to 9 rows today but made a mistake.... Not counting properly. So tomorrow I will start again. Hopefully. It will go better.
To everyone that is confused by the number of stitches to cast on if you want to make it smaller or bigger: you just have to cast on a multiple of 24+1.
Hi why +1 I'm a beginner too although I've been knitting for years basic knit but I still do not understand. Say I were to add 24 stitches making it 145 then continue repeating pattern until I have 13 stitches remaining and do the last bit.
Hi I love your projects on YT! I've finally cracked after 12 attempts on your chevron blanket. I was really hoping if you could break down in your simple terms what this pattern is asking? I'm confused where it says slip the next two... Row 1: Slip 1* YO, K 6, slip the next two stitches as if you were to KNIT them (insert the needle into the second stitch on the left needle, and pick up the two front stitches on to the right needle), K1, lift the two slipped stitches over the last knitted stitch, K 6, YO, K1* Repeat from * to * throughout the row. Row 2: Slip 1. K 7. * P1; K 15* Repeat from * to * until 9 stitches remain. P1, K8.
Hey I hope you see my message cause yours is so simple and easy and I love it, but I’m confused a little. On the second row do we do 11 and then the 2nd kind of pearl and the the regular one and then the 2nd of pearl again and then do the reactor pearl the rest of the way cause you said pearl the rest of the way or do I do 11 again and then do the 2nd kind of pearl? Also do I repeat between the 1st and 2nd row or do I just pearl all 10 rows? Please someone answer!!!
Beautiful!! I'm casting on for this here in a few... Thank you for the excellent and very well explained tut. I too have trouble purling a YO stitch. Not anymore!! :)
Please could you help me I'm looking at your tutorials and enjoy them but can't find any on newborn V neck baby cardigans could you do a step by step one if possible I'd really love to make for my bab
Hi, was wondering if you might be able to help... I want to make a children’s scarf. The thread is very thin, I’m using bebe soft thread. Casted 66 stitches. How would I use this pattern for a project like this? I’m just learning the chevron stitch and can’t find any specifically like this for a scarf . Thank you.
Hi! I just made this blanket (the video was also very helpful! Thank you) and I am wondering- in my case, the first row looks a lot more pointy than the last one (cast off), which is rather rounded. Is this normal or did I just cast off too tight?
Hi there. Can you tell me how many stitches should be on your needles after the first knit row and the 2nd purl row. There are lots of yarn overs, MD, ssk...got a little confused. For me, It's easier to fix a mistake without ripping out 4 hours of work...(which i did.ugh) but i'm OK. I'm watching you step by step, but it is really once in a while to make sure you're on the right track if the needle count is correct. Is it always going to be 121? THANK YOU!
hi! can you pleeease (pretty pleease) make a video of how to do a bag with this chevron?? pleeeaseee... it would look beautiful!! _I'm asking how to becayse I'm reeally new to knitting (about 2 weeks) and this looks soo good
Lovely tutorial :) What are the final dimensions, though? Wanting to turn mine into a more adult size and didn't know how may 24 stitch add ons to do. Thank you! :)
I'm still fairly new to knitting and I noticed you said to purl from the back loop that was a yarn over stitch. is that how I should do it anytime I encounter a yarn over in a pattern? I recently had a pattern that I did that with. I didn't notice any holes, probably because it had them in the pattern, but I would like to know if that's how I should handle it in the future. also, how should I knit yarn over stitches? thanks to anyone who can answer.
Yes there was another pattern that said to do the same thing if you don't want holes. So I would say it's safe to say to do that but you can always ask the designer of the pattern of they don't specify :)
I'm still new to knitting and this is my first blanket with more than one color. When adding on the new colors, does the knitter ever go back and tie the tails before/after weaving them in? I'm making baby blankets to donate and I'm worried that this one might come apart if I just weave the tails in without tying them somehow. I'm following along and so far this is the only issue I've had with making this blanket. Love this tutorial!
If I were to make it adult size, how many stitches do I need to cast on? I'm a beginner and so far have only made scarves, but your videos are so easy to follow so I'm thinking about venturing into new territory. Also, about how long would you say it takes you to make this baby version?
I am not sure how many stitches for an adult size. I haven't made one. I would double or triple the amount of COs but you have to remember that it's a 24 stitch repeat.
This is kindof a late comment but, I love the way it looks. And (I'm a beginner) I followed every step but I'm not getting those results.. I'm so confused. Oh and would It look any different if I tried doing it with bulky Yarn?
As far as I know I'm following the pattern exactly. I keep ending up with different stitches when I get to the last 13 stitches. And I sometimes end up with more stitches on the needle when I'm done with a row. Is that normal or should I always stop with the same stitch every time when I get to the last 13 stitches? I hope this makes sense.
I'd like to try using thick yarn and 25mms needles for a two color blanket like this, I haven't done much knitting, how would you recommend editing the pattern? About 14 stitches is one foot with my yarn and needles. Thanks!
I love it I just had a baby boy in July and I can't wait to make this for him!! Thank you so much I love all of your tutorials!!! Also what is the iron at the end for? I've never made a blanket so I don't know lol
When making the blanket bigger do you add 1 stitch for every 24 stitches or just one stitch no matter how many extra 24s you cast on? Why is this necessary?
I have lightweight yarn and size 7 (4.5) needles. Does anyone have suggestions as to how I could make this the proper baby blanket size with this smaller yarn?
I am having trouble, if you start with knitting 13 stitches and then a 24 stitch repeat and then 13 stitches at the end, that would be 122 stitches you start with? confused
Love this video! I can't wait to try out these new stitches. I'm going to the store in the next week or so to get all the materials needed and was wondering what length of circular needles did you use for the 121 stitch count? Thanks!
are the circular knitting needles you used out of the kit you can buy at michaels? the Takumi brand? if so, do you think it's worth the $170? i just recently started knitting but i absolutely love it. buying a new set of needles for each project i'm working on it just getting frustrating!
Yes!!! I'm going to try another brand and see if I love it just as much as the Takumi bamboo needles but they're worth it, however I bought them with a 50% off coupon so I would do that!!! Don't buy them full price. You can try Michaels as well!
I love this blanket and I am so eager to make it, but I must be doing something wrong. I am casting on the correct number of stitches. I am doing row one correctly because I have 13 stitches left on the needle at the end. Then I purl across for row 2. But when I get to row three, I always have 15 stitches left on the needle. I've tried it about 5 times now. Am I purling wrong? I am purling through the back loop for the yo. Any ideas? I am a beginner. Thanks so much!!
I have no idea! If I had to guess, maybe you're purling through the back loop the wrong way. You might be yarning over when you shouldn't be. I would pay very close attention when your knitting your row 2 and making sure you're not making any extra stitches or loops on your needle. Keep me updated!
Thanks so much for getting back to me!! I looked at my work and on a few stitches there are 2 loops coming out of one stitch from the previous row. How do I fix that?
any suggestions on picking up where another left off on one of these blankets?? my gmom has passed but left me her knitting and crochetinv glory. along with it came a half done blanket and im not sure how to complete it
I am so sorry about your grandma. Do you have the pattern for the project? If so what I do is read the pattern and kind of follow and move up to where you think she stopped. Sorry that's kind of hard to explain, does that make sense though? How awesome would that be to finish one of her pieces. What a treasure
Oh thank you for your condolences. The pattern for it was in her head though she was amazing like that. I may try to just look at the stitches a bit more to see if i can figure out the pattern. It would be awesome to finish her project though:) thanks for your help
I'm still a little new to knitting so I just want to be sure. If I wanted to make the blanket twice as large, would I cast on 242 stitches instead of 121?
Well, the designer mentioned that if you want to make a bigger size, that it's 24 stitch repeat. But we are supposed to CO 121, 24 stitch repeat would be 120, So for some reason you need that extra 1 stitch, so I would CO 241 and see if that works. You could also use larger needles and thicker yarn and CO 121 to make it bigger as well :)
I'm confused about where to add in the 24 stitch repeat . Do I just repeat this part of the pattern (k1, yo, k10, md, k10, yo) for another wave to be added in. And if so do I cast on 24 extra stitches?
![How to Finger Knit a Blanket [Washer & Dryer Safe]](/img/n.gif)

Attention everyone who keeps dropping a stitch, I figured it out for us!
The YO is not actually a stitch, but preparation for the Knit stitch following it.
So DO NOT count it as a stitch, when you complete the YO as you have been doing, that is actually the YO and the following K.
Row 1:
K1, SSK, K9

Does this mean if i wanted to make it as a scarf i could do it at 48 stitches + 1?
To never run out of the tail for the long-tail cast on: slip stitch together two ends of two balls/skeins. Cast on per usual. Once all your stitches are counted and correct, you can cut off one of the ends. There are videos on this technique. It's a real treasure!

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I never ver have 13 stitches left. It’s either 12 or 14. What am I doing wrong? Someone please help!
Tracy Fernandes is so appreciated for coming up with the multiples coz those multiples help a lot. Thank you, Ms. Tracy Fernandes :)
Seriously cannot wait to make this. Went through the tutorial to see if I thought I could even do what's needed, I can do it. Waiting on my yarn! ;)
You absolutely rule. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Making this for a gift. I was worried about a lot of re-do, since I haven't knit much for a while. No longer worried. Beautiful blanket & beautiful baby!

God woman, you're amazing, really. I didn't really get it when I read it, but when I saw you doing. Thanks a lot!

Hi
Woollen kurti btao Kasey banti ha
Did you ever finish this blanket? Did it turn out nice or did you give up and make something else?
Can you write out the instructions for the pattern because it's hard to see the instructions clearly.
Check the description, there are written instructions there.
Beautiful!! I'm casting on for this here in a few... Thank you for the excellent and very well explained tut. I too have trouble purling a YO stitch. Not anymore!! :)
You are an excellent teacher, I'm going to have a go 😀
Thanks for sharing! I love your videos!. I can't wait to make a blanket using these instructions.
any ideas how could I adjust my screen to see the letters on top ???
thank you @iknits for all those useful videos :)
Please could you help me I'm looking at your tutorials and enjoy them but can't find any on newborn V neck baby cardigans could you do a step by step one if possible I'd really love to make for my bab
excellent video...your voice is great for knitting.
Thanks! You're so sweet!
Hi, was wondering if you might be able to help... I want to make a children’s scarf. The thread is very thin, I’m using bebe soft thread. Casted 66 stitches. How would I use this pattern for a project like this? I’m just learning the chevron stitch and can’t find any specifically like this for a scarf . Thank you.
Hi! I just made this blanket (the video was also very helpful! Thank you) and I am wondering- in my case, the first row looks a lot more pointy than the last one (cast off), which is rather rounded. Is this normal or did I just cast off too tight?
If I wanted to use bigger needles and yarn, could I use the same pattern, CO stitches, and everything or would that turn out weird?
Hi there. Can you tell me how many stitches should be on your needles after the first knit row and the 2nd purl row. There are lots of yarn overs, MD, ssk...got a little confused. For me, It's easier to fix a mistake without ripping out 4 hours of work...(which i did.ugh) but i'm OK. I'm watching you step by step, but it is really once in a while to make sure you're on the right track if the needle count is correct. Is it always going to be 121?
THANK YOU!
This is awesome! Have you ever thought of making a large floor pouf?
Thanks! I have thought about it, I just haven't found the right yarn for it. I want to though!
hi! can you pleeease (pretty pleease) make a video of how to do a bag with this chevron?? pleeeaseee... it would look beautiful!! _I'm asking how to becayse I'm reeally new to knitting (about 2 weeks) and this looks soo good
Very good tutorial. Blanket looks great.
Very good video. Thank you for not rushing through!
Hello. I love your tutorials! I'm wanting to make a baby blanket. What would the steps be in order for 101 stitches?
Lovely tutorial :) What are the final dimensions, though? Wanting to turn mine into a more adult size and didn't know how may 24 stitch add ons to do. Thank you! :)
Is there a free pattern to download for making this particular blanket? I LOVED the video!❤️
The link to the free pattern is in the description
Привет! Удобнее же накидывать нить Лёвой рукой, а не правой, так и быстрее получается вязать.
I have some light weight baby yarn, how much would that affect the size needles I should use...thanks!!!
Can you tell me how to increase the size. I'm sure it would be after the 13 front and back stitches. I can't figure out how to make this bigger.
Chere Rich yes there is a 24 stitch repeat to make it bigger
Thank you, exactly what I needed to know. Increase in increments of 24 and I'm off to make a bigger afghan....
Chere Rich yay!!! Please let me know how it turns out!
Definitely will, thanks for the TH-cam video, it was quite helpful....
Chere Rich in doing 193 stitches and it's is turning out great
Hello-do you have any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? The sides which are supposed to be straight are going diagonal? Thanks in advance!
When you are Purling and you come to the MD, do you purl both strands at the same time?
I'm still fairly new to knitting and I noticed you said to purl from the back loop that was a yarn over stitch. is that how I should do it anytime I encounter a yarn over in a pattern? I recently had a pattern that I did that with.

I am not sure how many stitches for an adult size. I haven't made one. I would double or triple the amount of COs but you have to remember that it's a 24 stitch repeat.
Oh geez, maybe an hour for every stripe so 13-14 hours.

It look any different if I tried doing it with bulky Yarn?
Nice video. I'm unable to see directions in the light green color you chose for the font. Can you list pattern somewhere? Thx.
Yes I always have the pattern listed under the video in the description bar. Let me know if you have trouble finding it. Thanks!
Does this stockinette blanket roll at the edges? Thinking of adding 6 garter st on each side.
As far as I know I'm following the pattern exactly. I keep ending up with different stitches when I get to the last 13 stitches. And I sometimes end up with more stitches on the needle when I'm done with a row. Is that normal or should I always stop with the same stitch every time when I get to the last 13 stitches? I hope this makes sense.
hii, I am trying to knit this but my yarn just will not stop curling!! do you have any tips as far as what yarn would work best?
I'd like to try using thick yarn and 25mms needles for a two color blanket like this, I haven't done much knitting, how would you recommend editing the pattern? About 14 stitches is one foot with my yarn and needles. Thanks!
Editing it for what? Are you wanting a larger size blanket, or the same size?
I love it I just had a baby boy in July and I can't wait to make this for him!! Thank you so much I love all of your tutorials!!! Also what is the iron at the end for? I've never made a blanket so I don't know lol
Congratulations! It's to block the blanket. Have fun making it for your little man, let me know how it turns out!
Did you use all of the yarn you showed? 3 of each? How many yard are they?
The pattern says to work each color for 10 rows. Is that 5 knit and 5 purl to equal 10? Thanks for posting this great video.
Yes, 5 knit, 5 purl. Thank you! I'm glad you like it :)
Is there anyway to make this design for a scarf?? And if so how many stitches are required?? Also awesome video!!! Really good :)
Could you share the written pattern? This video was very helpful! But a written pattern would be very helpful as well! Please and Thank You!
Hey yes of course you always should follow the written pattern while watching the video tutorial. The link is under the video in the description!
When making the blanket bigger do you add 1 stitch for every 24 stitches or just one stitch no matter how many extra 24s you cast on? Why is this necessary?
Great job, as always! I love the colors you chose.
Thank you!
so after the second row of pearling, do you alternate between row one and then pearling again until you get to 10 rows?
Yes. But make sure you follow along with the written pattern to make sure you're doing it right :)
I have lightweight yarn and size 7 (4.5) needles. Does anyone have suggestions as to how I could make this the proper baby blanket size with this smaller yarn?
I have a thicker yarn and I would like to change the number of stitches to around 85. Does anyone know how row 1 would change to make this possible?
Tq for the tutorial. I made it. So easy and turn out very beautiful
I am having trouble, if you start with knitting 13 stitches and then a 24 stitch repeat and then 13 stitches at the end, that would be 122 stitches you start with? confused
I would like my blanket to be wider,do you know what the multiples are suppose to be of?:)
Yes it's a 24 stitch repeat
Does anyone know how to do this on a loom? Or where I can find a video? I've been searching but no luck yet.
Love this video! I can't wait to try out these new stitches. I'm going to the store in the next week or so to get all the materials needed and was wondering what length of circular needles did you use for the 121 stitch count? Thanks!
About how much yarn do you need of each color?
So to make adult size blanket how many stitches do I have the cast on my needle
Is that yarn rough on the hands like lilly sugar and cream?
I would love to learn how to resize this as a doll blanket!
are the circular knitting needles you used out of the kit you can buy at michaels? the Takumi brand? if so, do you think it's worth the $170? i just recently started knitting but i absolutely love it. buying a new set of needles for each project i'm working on it just getting frustrating!
Yes!!! I'm going to try another brand and see if I love it just as much as the Takumi bamboo needles but they're worth it, however I bought them with a 50% off coupon so I would do that!!! Don't buy them full price. You can try Michaels as well!
I bought the set using the 50% off coupon last week and I'm OBSESSED! These things are like my babies now. Thanks so much for the recommendation!
+Natalie Nurkowski haha yay! I'm glad you're in love with them as much as I am!
I love this blanket and I am so eager to make it, but I must be doing something wrong. I am casting on the correct number of stitches. I am doing row one correctly because I have 13 stitches left on the needle at the end. Then I purl across for row 2. But when I get to row three, I always have 15 stitches left on the needle. I've tried it about 5 times now. Am I purling wrong? I am purling through the back loop for the yo. Any ideas? I am a beginner. Thanks so much!!
I have no idea! If I had to guess, maybe you're purling through the back loop the wrong way. You might be yarning over when you shouldn't be. I would pay very close attention when your knitting your row 2 and making sure you're not making any extra stitches or loops on your needle. Keep me updated!
Thanks so much for getting back to me!! I looked at my work and on a few stitches there are 2 loops coming out of one stitch from the previous row. How do I fix that?
Can you take a picture? Send it to my Facebook page.
They look beautiful!
any suggestions on picking up where another left off on one of these blankets?? my gmom has passed but left me her knitting and crochetinv glory. along with it came a half done blanket and im not sure how to complete it
I am so sorry about your grandma. Do you have the pattern for the project? If so what I do is read the pattern and kind of follow and move up to where you think she stopped. Sorry that's kind of hard to explain, does that make sense though? How awesome would that be to finish one of her pieces. What a treasure
Oh thank you for your condolences. The pattern for it was in her head though she was amazing like that. I may try to just look at the stitches a bit more to see if i can figure out the pattern. It would be awesome to finish her project though:) thanks for your help
Hi, what length cable did you use?
I'm still a little new to knitting so I just want to be sure. If I wanted to make the blanket twice as large, would I cast on 242 stitches instead of 121?
Well, the designer mentioned that if you want to make a bigger size, that it's 24 stitch repeat. But we are supposed to CO 121, 24 stitch repeat would be 120, So for some reason you need that extra 1 stitch, so I would CO 241 and see if that works. You could also use larger needles and thicker yarn and CO 121 to make it bigger as well :)
If I wanted to cast off in zig zag how would I do that instead of straight ?
I'm confused about where to add in the 24 stitch repeat . Do I just repeat this part of the pattern (k1, yo, k10, md, k10, yo) for another wave to be added in. And if so do I cast on 24 extra stitches?
Yes if you want to make it bigger you want to cast on additional stitches at the beginning but make sure you do it in 24 +1
