I cannot thank you enough for the info on fixing the drag! I am a newish knitter and this drag had caused me to loath patterns with knits and purls. I am working a cable blanket and have tried everything to get that first purl tighter to no avail. This has worked like a charm!
What an awesome tip on switching to purl stitches. Wish I'd known that years ago! I've spent years trying to figure out why my tension was off and how to fix it. Thank you thank you!
I love your dishcloths keep them coming. I am attempting to make a throw. I will be using half square knitted triangles. I love this chevron, trying to put it in my squares to add texture.
This video got me really excited! Not only can I learn a visually pleasing style easily, but I can make nicer dishcloths instead of making test swatches that will just be thrown away later.
Hi Staci, thank you for all the wonderful videos. I particularly love reversible stitch patterns, great for scarves. Would you perhaps consider making a playlist of stitches that are reversible and would work for scarves? Many thanks. Keep up the good work
I want to try to make some socks. I'm not too sure about double pointed needles but I'm willing to try. I'm a 66 year old grandmother soon to be a greatgrandmother. I'd like to make some things for my grandchildren, I love your website. Thanks for everything.
Hi! Demo great but I can’t find instructions on your site!! HELP 🤣🤣 I love the stitch pattern & want to use it in a gansey style kids blanket. But seems everyone calls it different. Life 🤣🤣 can you pls let me know how to find written instructions. Thanks I’m Canadian but Happy Thanksgiving 🦃!!!
+Tracy Hiatt Grice - yes, that is a really good example of when this technique is helpful. You'll often see loose stitches on the left side of a cable (where the cable stitches are knit, and flanked by purl stitches). A little tug to eliminate the "drag" between the last K and the first P makes a huge difference.
I give instructions for that on my website: verypink.com/2015/11/11/fancy-stitch-combo-shadow-chevron-dishcloth/ Or are you asking in general the difference between knitting flat and in-the-round?
@@verypinkknits Yes I notice there is a difference with the instructions between knitting flat and round for example: on the straight Row 1 is K1, *P7, K1*, whereas in the round 1st & 2 rounds is *K1, P7* no K1, also is there no border of K5 at the beginning of the row, and K5 at the end of the row when you knit in the round? sorry I must not be getting something I should.
@@sandilum - "knitting flat" means to make a flat piece, like a dishcloth or blanket. Knitting "in the round" means to knit in a tube, so there is no border.
I have a question about the Knitters pride. I have the Tunisian hook set. If I wanted to instead of making circular needles, (which I have so much trouble with lol.) The hooks come with a stopper disk.. could I just use that to extend the knitting needles? Instead of a super long needle for a project like an king size blanket?
Tension isn't a problem for me, but I show how to get good tension between knits and purls in this video. Regardless of how you knit, you're always going to have a "drag" of yarn between Ks and Ps that should be tightened up.
I tried this pattern but I think I knit too tight, or maybe I was using the wrong needle size, because it didn't work up flat... It was very wobbly. I didn't do it from this video, just commenting on my own experience. I like the pattern, so I hope I can find the right yarn and needle combo
+vallerie1973 - yes, interchangeable sets only go down to a certain size, since they can't go any smaller than the "join" from the cord to the needle. For smaller needle sizes, we just have to use fixed needles - meaning, buying an individual pair of 24" circulars size 2, etc.
+Keepingourhome - acrylic needles have a little more grip than other materials, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Stitches still glide easily, but stitches are less likely to accidentally slip off the ends of the needle with acrylic. Beginning knitters and naturally loose knitters often have a problem with daredevil stitches jumping off, and acrylic needles can help with that.
I love the needles, not only beautiful but great for knitting. I have those and the short special. Your videos are the best. I do have a question, after working the pattern , is it 10 rows for5 ridges or 9 as the beginning?

+Heather Chambers - no, there are instructions for the stitch on it's own, in-the-round, and into a dishcloth. Just look for the header "To make the dishcloth" on the web page link, which includes instructions for the border.
My website is www.verypink.com, the instructions for this stitch can be found on this page: verypink.com/2015/11/11/fancy-stitch-combo-shadow-chevron-dishcloth/

Thank you for this lovely pattern. Truly, you have the best knitting tutorials on the web. Knitters Pride is smart to sponsor you!
What an awesome tip on switching to purl stitches. Wish I'd known that years ago! I've spent years trying to figure out why my tension was off and how to fix it. Thank you thank you!
I just started the dishcloth after finishing a knit chevron stitch and this is looking awesome. Thank you for sharing with us.
I made a baby blanket using this stitch and great tip. Thank you Staci ! 💕💕💕
This is such a nice stitch combination for a baby blanket.
Thank you for including in-the-round instructions! That is a very useful help.
I've just found your pattern!! I did your sugar cube pattern and I love it. Thank you so much. I'm a new knitter..
Thank you for yet another fun and beautyful pattern! I have some nice yarn that now can become a double sided scarf with ease!
I love your dishcloths keep them coming. I am attempting to make a throw. I will be using half square knitted triangles. I love this chevron, trying to put it in my squares to add texture.
Thank you, Staci, for sharing the technique to tighten. So simple and so helpful. :-)
This video got me really excited! Not only can I learn a visually pleasing style easily, but I can make nicer dishcloths instead of making test swatches that will just be thrown away later.
These needles are so adorable..! Today I've decided to knit this dishcloth on a multicolored pastel cotton yarn. Let's see how it looks!
Thank you! I have knit several of the classic dish cloth and I was looking for something a little more challenging!
Thank you for showing us this beautiful stitch.
I love your bright green needles
I love this! But I would love to see it as stripes too
Hi Staci, thank you for all the wonderful videos. I particularly love reversible stitch patterns, great for scarves. Would you perhaps consider making a playlist of stitches that are reversible and would work for scarves? Many thanks. Keep up the good work
Beautiful pattern mam❤ thank you for sharing, Jean from Newfoundland.🌹👍🙏🇨🇦
I love your work, it is really eye opening technique!
I want to try to make some socks. I'm not too sure about double pointed needles but I'm willing to try. I'm a 66 year old grandmother soon to be a greatgrandmother. I'd like to make some things for my grandchildren, I love your website. Thanks for everything.
Those are cute, would love to play with the flashy attachments to be honest
This pattern is good for a scarf. What is a good border for a scarf?
How to get the knitting needles you showed..and price please
Hi! Demo great but I can’t find instructions on your site!! HELP 🤣🤣
I love the stitch pattern & want to use it in a gansey style kids blanket. But seems everyone calls it different. Life 🤣🤣 can you pls let me know how to find written instructions. Thanks
I’m Canadian but Happy Thanksgiving 🦃!!!
I think I just found my next scarf project :)
Thanks for the great video! Does that tugging after the first purl stitch work to eliminate the looseness around cables, too?
+Tracy Hiatt Grice - yes, that is a really good example of when this technique is helpful. You'll often see loose stitches on the left side of a cable (where the cable stitches are knit, and flanked by purl stitches). A little tug to eliminate the "drag" between the last K and the first P makes a huge difference.
Could you use this pattern as a blanket
Staci, thanks for this pattern, can you explain the difference between working this in the round versus straight needles?
I give instructions for that on my website: verypink.com/2015/11/11/fancy-stitch-combo-shadow-chevron-dishcloth/
Or are you asking in general the difference between knitting flat and in-the-round?

@@verypinkknits Got it! thank you.
Beautiful needles would love to have a set

The hooks come with a stopper disk.. could I just use that to extend the knitting needles? Instead of a super long needle for a project like an king size blanket?
Can you please do the moss stitch? :)
Hi Staci,
The dishcloth with border question: after first nine rows of knitting, each subsequent row starts with and ends with knitting five stitches?
I think this stitch would make a cool slouch beanie
I wish you showed pearl edges
Excellent demo... Thanks for the tips...
I'm a continental knitter, so would the tension problem be the same for me as for you in this video?
Tension isn't a problem for me, but I show how to get good tension between knits and purls in this video. Regardless of how you knit, you're always going to have a "drag" of yarn between Ks and Ps that should be tightened up.
@@verypinkknits thank you for the clarification
Great mindful tip on tension!
What a wonderful needles !!!
El estuche de agujas las vende o me las podría mandar y cuánto cuesta yo vivo en México ciudad
i like the orange one. not everything needs a border
I tried this pattern but I think I knit too tight, or maybe I was using the wrong needle size, because it didn't work up flat... It was very wobbly. I didn't do it from this video, just commenting on my own experience. I like the pattern, so I hope I can find the right yarn and needle combo
In IC sets such as Knitter's Pride that come in US 4 - 11, how can you obtain the smaller/larger sizes?
+vallerie1973 - yes, interchangeable sets only go down to a certain size, since they can't go any smaller than the "join" from the cord to the needle. For smaller needle sizes, we just have to use fixed needles - meaning, buying an individual pair of 24" circulars size 2, etc.
have you tried this in 2 colors.
This would be a fair isle pattern in two colors - the unique thing about this pattern is that the chevron is done in different stitches, in one color.
love the needles
do you find the acrylic needle create any drag, or does the yarn glide over them effortlessly?
+Keepingourhome - acrylic needles have a little more grip than other materials, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Stitches still glide easily, but stitches are less likely to accidentally slip off the ends of the needle with acrylic. Beginning knitters and naturally loose knitters often have a problem with daredevil stitches jumping off, and acrylic needles can help with that.
I can't knit with circular needles like that
I am gonna try knitting a hat with my regular 2 needles and hope it works
I love the needles, not only beautiful but great for knitting. I have those and the short special. Your videos are the best. I do have a question, after working the pattern , is it 10 rows for5 ridges or 9 as the beginning?
I would love to win this set!!!!

Can you sending to me how to make a border like in your video? My english not so good but still hope you'll understand. Much love !
If you click through to my website (link in the video description field, just below the video) there are instructions for making the border.
look's awesome!! i love to win this set.
🙋👍💓 Thank you for your wonderful videos. Your the best!! 💓
Looking at your written pattern it doesn't look like you accounted for the border, is that correct?
+Heather Chambers - no, there are instructions for the stitch on it's own, in-the-round, and into a dishcloth. Just look for the header "To make the dishcloth" on the web page link, which includes instructions for the border.
Thank you for clarifying. I'm clear on making borders! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the tutorial!
i think it would make a beautiful baby blanket
