(Update!) 08/20/2018 I wrote out the loom knit pattern for everyone that expressed trouble with the video not being clear. Click the blog link and scroll down. http://www.goodknitkisses.com/loomkn...

On of my biggest requests has been how to loom knit the chevron stitch. Wait no longer! Learn how to knit the Bernat Ripple and Ridge Knit Blanket from Yarnspirations featuring the new Bernat Beyond yarn! Check it out on the GKK Blog: http://www.goodknitkisses.com/loomkn...

The pattern falls in the EASY SKILL level for knitting. I cover all stitches, including the increase and decrease, and weaving tails so if this is your first big project you will have all skills needed in this video. If you have never knit a stitch before I do recommend learning the knit and purl with one of my slower videos first.

Let’s knit this blanket together! Download your pattern at the blog link above. Remember it is a NEEDLE pattern but I will go through how to convert. It is super easy and all you need to do is print your copy and make a few notes!

Loom & Supplies

**You can also use this stitch pattern on any loom size with appropriate weight yarn and even change the color repeats.
• scissors, tape measure to check peg spacing
• Stitch markers or rubber bands, tapestry needle, loom hook


Skill Level
Easy

Size
Approx 50½" x 60" [128.5 x 152.5 cm]. (Baby “Lovey” size 15”x19”)

Skills demonstrated in tutorial
Double EWrap Caston
Knit Stitch
Purl Stitch
K2tog decrease
YO increase
Bind off
Weaving in ends


The blanket begins with a garter border then jumps right into the ripples. The ripples are created with a simple 2 row repeat that includes the K2tog (knit 2 stitches together) increase and the YO (yarnover) decrease. That’s right only two distinct rows to learn!

My video tutorial walks you through the entire pattern from start to finish. We’ll spend most of our time focusing on the 2 rows of the ripple pattern to make sure you have a good understanding of the techniques. Once you begin working, the ripples will fall off your loom quickly and you’ll reach the first color change before you know it. Then I’ll show you how to add in a new color so whatever colors you choose your transitions will be smooth. We’ll also discuss and show how to weave in the tails for color changes on a garter stitch and for the ending tail. Lots of tips included!

If you need videos on basic stitches (double ewrap caston, knit, purl & bindoff) or other techniques, please check out my beginner tutorials on GoodKnit Kisses YouTube Beginner Loom Knit playlist.
