HOW TO KNIT A ZIGZAG WITH 10 LOOPS USING THE STRIPES CAST ON METHOD!

HOW TO KNIT A ZIGZAG WITH 10 STITCHES USING THE STRIPES METHOD! A lesson on knitting a blanket using the stripes method. Everything is knitted gradually without requiring sewing of parts. Using this method, you can knit a blanket from leftover yarn. Size: 122 cm x 89 cm You will need: 15 skeins of Rico Design Creative Poems Aran yarn (100% wool, 100 m/50 g), 4.5 mm needles. The stripes are joined as you knit without sewing, resulting in a double-sided fabric. Each stripe can be made from a different yarn, allowing the use of leftover yarn. 1 rib = 2 rows of garter stitch (all knit). 1 Zig + 1 Zag = zigzag Zigs are knitted by increasing stitches. Zags are knitted by decreasing stitches. Periodically check the number of stitches — there should always be 10 stitches at the end of the rib. Work description: First stripe Cast on 10 stitches. Row 1: knit through the front and back, 7 knit, 2 together knit. Row 2: knit. Repeat these 2 rows 10 times = 10 ribs. Row 1: knit. Row 2: knit through the front and back, 7 knit, 2 together knit. This is your first zigzag, as shown in the picture. The first 10 ribs on the right side are increases (zig) and the next 10 ribs — decreases (zag). Continue alternating zigs and zags as described above until you reach the desired length of the stripe. I knitted 8 complete zigzags. In the last zag, only knit 9 ribs according to the pattern before turning and starting the next stripe. Turn: Next row: knit. Now close 9 stitches = 1 stitch on the needle. Turn the work so that you are ready to start knitting in the opposite direction along the stripe. Start the next stripe — cast on 9 stitches = 10 stitches. From this point, attach the current stripe to the previous stripe. Now knit the next 2 rows to get the next 10 ribs: The connection is made at the end of the first row of each rib: slip the last stitch of the row as if to knit, lift 1 knit stitch at the end of the next rib of the previous stripe, and then pass the slipped stitch over the knitted one.

 

 

 

 

 

Knit 10 ribs as follows: Row 1: knit through the front and back, 8 knit, slip 1 as to knit, lift 1 knit, yarn over. Row 2: 2 together purl, 9 knit. Knit 10 ribs as follows: Row 1: 9 knit, slip 1 as to knit, lift 1 knit, yarn over. Row 2: 1 purl, knit through the front and back, 6 knit, 2 together knit. Continue in a similar manner. This joining method provides a neat raised edge on the right side, but when the work turns at the end of each stripe, the right side changes, so the edge will be raised on every second stripe on both sides of the finished piece. Turning the attached stripe: Done in the same way. Knit 9 ribs of the final zag. Next row: 9 knit, slip 1 as to knit, lift 1 knit, yarn over. Now close 9 stitches = 1 stitch on the needle. Turn the work and cast on 9 stitches. You are now ready to start the next stripe. Continue until the desired size is reached, finish by closing 10 stitches at the end of the stripe. The edge of the blanket will not be completely straight. You can add a crochet border or 1-cord. This knitted blanket will make a great gift, can keep you warm in bad weather, and on top of that, you can gain excellent knitting skills.
