Row 1: Work across the 78 loops, as follows, from right to left, *LDR over the next 2 loops, LK in each of the next 4 loops, increase 1 loop, LK in next loop, increase 1 loop, LK in each of the next 4 loops, LDL over the next 2 loops rep from * across row, do not turn. Count 78 loops for your chained edge* and place marker. With Color A, cut the first 2 loops to allow for a tail to weave in. WL = Working Loop The next loop on your working yarn coming from the ball. On the next row work this skipped loop as directed. Increase = Increase by skipping the next loop on your yarn and working the next LK or LP with the following loop. LDL (Loop Decrease Left) = Stack the next 2 loops on your project together with the 1st loop in front of the 2nd loop, reach through both these loops, front to back, then grab the next loop on your yarn and pull it through. Reach through both these loops, front to back, then grab the next loop on your yarn and pull it through. LDR (Loop Decrease Right) = Stack the next 2 loops on your project together with the 2nd loop in front of the 1st loop. With working yarn in front (on top of project), push working loop through next project loop from front to back. LK = Loop Knit With working yarn in back, pull the working loop through next project loop from back to front. Come on, don’t we all want the cast on and bind off edge to look the same? Of course we do!ĥ½ sts x 6 rows = 4″ measured flat (Each 13-loop chevron = 7″ wide) The other feature I added is a chained edge that matches the bind off. I also created my own version below, I guess you could say it’s without the twist since you work the entire project on the front side. Get the free Zig Zag Throw pattern here from Michaels! But by knitting some rows on the front and turning your work and knitting other rows on the back your blanket will have the texture of knits and purls. That means you are always working on the front of your project. As a rule you don’t turn your work when knitting with loop yarn. The Zig Zag Throw pattern looks like it has knit and purl stitches, but they made it even easier by adding a twist. Then I’ll show you a simpler version that just uses knit stitches (that’s the smooth one in the picture above) and also has a beautiful chained edge. First, I’ll show you the Zig Zag Throw pattern exactly as written. The video below show two different versions of this pattern. You don’t even need to know how to work these stitches on needles to be able to knit this throw. A simple color change to add contrast and BAM in no time you have a beautiful blanket.Īdding some special stitches like an increase, loop decrease right and loop decrease left you can add some shaping to your knits. Yes! You can work more than just knit and purl stitches with loop yarn. The free Zig Zag Throw pattern (used with permission from Michaels) uses increases and decreases to create the telltale design. Thanks to Michaels and their Loops yarn you can even make a finger knit chevron blanket! Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full tutorial video. With the introduction of loop yarn earlier this year finger knit projects changed from simple to spectacular. Finger knitting is a handy way to make a simple project on the go with no needles or tools.
