Crochet Zig Zag Pip Stitch | Crochet Tutorial

Learn how to crochet the ZigZag Pip Stitch! This stitch is built over 4 rows and is what I would class as a intermediate stitch pattern. It looks amazing in 2 colours or also fantastic in one solid shade 😀 If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! See this video on exactly how: • How to Adjust the Spee...

🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on KZbin yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!
How much yarn will I need? This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!
How many squares do I need for a blanket? That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀
Do you have the written pattern? Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: www.hookedbyrobin.com The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website
How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's? Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.
Can you remake this video so it is slower? If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: • How to Adjust the Spee...
Why do you use American stitch terminology? I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my "first language" so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet...

hello

[@patricialund6883]

Dear Val Te t

[@sandraouaguena296]

This looks lovely and what I like about you is you go slow enough for us to see what you are doing and you go fast enough for us not to say hurry up!! You are a natural!!! Thankyou!!! ❤️

[@amchildress01]

This is actually very beginner friendly~ My daughter made herself a sample swatch of this and now she's ready to complete a throw blanket for herself~ She's never finished anything with crochet lol But this is easy and simple to follow~

[@nicolanewington1798]

Just scrolling through all your past videos. The thumbnails are a feast for the eyes. As a fellow Brit, I love your voice. Some American accents really grate on my nerves.

[@christinepoole5588]

after alot of pausing and going back a few times, l think l have got it, but l am only brave enough to make some dish cloths so far , l am very happy you don't talk alot and mess me up so thank you forthat as well as this stitch. cheers

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you Christine, glad it helped you.😃🧶

[@wirralsam]

I adore this pattern, thank-you. This would presumably work beautifully in the round, it would do away with all those end as you could carry up the strand just used up one row on the inside. It also means not having to come up with a border to help hide ends.

[@daryllynn5406]

Robin: thank you very much for the pattern and the tutorial. I have brain fog sometimes and you teach so well I can understand you. But, I don't feel talked down to. And that is very special.

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re so welcome Daryl, thank you for such a kind comment.🥰🤗

[@daryllynn5406]

@@HookedbyRobin your welcome

[@tammytaylor9638]

I'm impressed with the pattern. And in awe of someone who holds their yarn and hook like I do!

[@otterwench]

to reduce the number of ends to weave in, I do rows one and two on the front side ( returning to the right edge to add color b and work row 2) and rows 3 and 4 from the back of the work. ( againg, moving your work back to the beginning of row three, picking up color b and working row 4) I find safety pin style markers useful to hold the waiting stitches. I use this technique often because I love the look of single row color changes in many stitch patterns. ( the box stitch for example) . in short: step one. work base chain and row 1 in color a. step 2: slide yo u r work across your working surface from left side to right side WITHOUT TURNING WORK and begin row 2 with color b and work to end of row. step three: turn your work, pick up color A and work row 3. step 4: slide your work from left to right without turning, pick up color B and work row 4. of course, reverse sliding directions 8f left handed feel free to use 8n a video. it is remarkably simple if seen watger than described in text lol.

[@mikhaylaschull5913]

I'm SO glad I saved this stitch because I'm working on a sampler afghan kit that I only have half of and I have too much yarn to just leave it at what the kits gave me, I'm improvising stripes now, this one and the Rice stitch are DEFINITELY getting included

[@HookedbyRobin]

That’s a great idea!🥰🧶

[@daryllynn5406]

As soon as I get up my courage, and finish my other 2 wips, I definitely want to try it.

[@maryh8230]

Love it. But for me I would carry the colors up and do a simple border. I hate sewing in ends. 😁

[@aclark30121]

I also will carry the black color up the sides--

[@Lilac80]

Love this pattern, especially with the black and rainbow yarns. I would use two balls of each color and just carry the yarn up the side (not into weaving all those ends in!). Add a nice border to cover up the carried yarn and Bob's your uncle!

[@SunCity95]

Been wanting to buy some of that Picasso yarn and you’ve given me the perfect reason. I absolutely love the stitch and the yarn color combinations on both swatches. It’s so good to see you again 💕

[@lindajeanhouse3795]

I absolutely love this! The two colors is what draws me to it. I will be making this multiple times.

[@obsessivecrochetdisorder3495]

I’m addicted to Ice Yarns and have Picasso in several colourways, plus various contrasting and toning solids, so I will DEFINITELY be using this stitch pattern at some future date. Thank you so much for the time and effort you have taken to bring us this tutorial ❤️❤️❤️

[@ruthieshields189]

This is beautiful. I’m so grateful for the chapter prompts in the description. Thank you for sharing this lovely pattern.🥰🌈🤍

[@AEB72112]

Finally... someone who holds their yarn in their fingers like I do!!! Love this pattern...... it's a simple stitch for me, as most of my afghans are made of these 2 stitches. Live the black background with the variegated colors!!!

[@pattisnapsforbeans8212]

My ice yarn arrived and I am trying this. Thanks to your wonderful teaching abilities, I am actually doing this and everyone in my family is impressed!! I now have numerous requests for items using this stitch and yarn!! If only I had more time. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate your tutorials!!

[@kathrynsimmons1954]

I love this stitch. I have black and bright pink. Those are My new niece's colors. But I plan to carry the black and pink up the sides as I will be puttibg a border on it. SOOOOOOOO thank you very much for the tutorial.

[@sabrinaharris6538]

I have been crocheting for a very long time, and I have never seen this stitch, it is amazing, I will definitely be trying it. Thank You for sharing Your Time, and Your Talent with all of us. I have watched several of your videos, and I have enjoyed them all, I have learned a lot of new stitches. Thank You.

[@kathykupanoff6023]

Wow! I’ve been crocheting for more years than I want to reveal lol .. and this is a first for me!! Thank you so much, Robin! You’re such a great teacher ❤️

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much Kathy! 🥰 I’m pleased you like it.x

[@cherryb48]

I'M GOING TO ADD THIS TO MY LONG LIST OF FUTURE PROJECTS!! LOVE IT!!

[@jencrochetingradtech5913]

I’m so excited to see two projects from you in as many weeks!!! Yay!

[@lisawhisken5225]

With the black it looks stunning, I will definitely think about giving it a try

[@Sophiecjp]

This is fabulous! Your tutorials are the best. Love that you pinned all the rows for easy to follow instructions. Going to make a prayer shawl with this pattern. Love it!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thanks so much 😊

[@lizv.418]

I love this stitch especially how you showcased it in the Picasso yarn💕 I could use this in a cowl🤗🌞

[@winterroseblooms]

I love this pattern and that rainbow yarn is fantabulous.

[@vickiemouse2359]

Perfect for cosmetic bags🌸♥️

[@HookedbyRobin]

Great idea! Thank you so much for watching.🥰

[@Paula_KentuckyRed]

Beautiful stitch pattern! I love the rainbow and black together! I will definitely try a scarf or wrap with this stitch ‼️

[@helenoreillylong9497]

Beautiful stitch. The colour changes really showcase the stitch so well.

[@daryllynn5406]

I absolutely am in love with this pattern.

[@shirley9240]

What a wonderful stitch!! I appreciate it so much, your instant go to timestamps for instructions. That is so thoughtful! ❤️

[@Tipsey_McStagger]

Good to see you back!!

[@pamelaspilsbury2975]

Hi Robin I know this is an older post, but I love the vibrancy of this sample and intend to make an afghan from your pattern and colors -- already bought the yarn. I'm having the hardest time trying to decide on a border. The colors create a "busy" pattern and I don't think I want to incorporate yet another pattern - but again, I'm undecided. I would welcome any suggestions from you or anyone else. I don't plan on giving this until next Christmas - so I have plenty of time for comments or suggestions. Thank you, again, for sharing your beautiful work, your patterns, and your awesome tutorials. They are truly lovely. Cheers, Pam😃❣

[@HookedbyRobin]

Hello Pam, do you like any of these borders? 😀 kzbin.info/aero/PLP0pPGx0kI89mFLK-9nH2qaEvzMJP0rD6&si=mCj8IbU9Szemd-RU Thank you so much for your kind comment too, I am glad you like the videos and my crochet.🥰x

[@fxyldy1820]

Hi, this a advanced set of stitches to say the least. I worked right along with the video. Thank goodness I could pause and go back as needed. However, I got it. Works up pretty. I had fun. Robin is very good and explains well. Thank you.

[@margaretwatson7255]

I am just starting to learn how to crochet and I find your videos very helpful to an old biddy like me. Thank you for taking your time to explain the different stitches as you are doing your samples. When my cat allows it I will be trying to do them. Margaret

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re so very welcome Margaret and my cats always try to help me too! 🫣🐈🥰

[@rebeccaalbertsonlutz7800]

I LOVE color and I love this blanket! Definitely something I will have to work on perfecting!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@joanclark8134]

Great teaching…I am definitely going to try it. I did a trial run and I am excited to do it in 2 colors as shown. Thank you. Joan Clark

[@NonnasCrochet]

This is a beautiful stitch and I can’t wait to try it when I am done with my current project!!!! Thank you so much for sharing it.

[@kimanderson2771]

I love learning new ways to put stitches together. Thank you for this. I love love the way it looks. Have a great day. Stay safe promise stay healthy.

[@jarrettd74]

I immediately loved this and started a baby blanket.

[@karengraham5559]

Beautiful stitch, I love it! Will definitely try it if I can keep the concentration going. Thanks so much!!

[@gramalindamichaud9743]

Have not used this stitch before, however, I will now!, Thank you 🙏💕🙏

[@marisantana6057]

Will be using your videos. Gorgeous and fun projects. Thank you for sharing. 🧶🌼

[@KRXZY_JK]

Beautiful. My next blanket for the house!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Perfect stitch for a blanket Michele!😃🧶

[@lauraharper7441]

I love this stitch and having a great time with this.

[@Sammythegal]

I was the mad woman and changed colors every row 🤣 I love it

[@HookedbyRobin]

Sounds great! 😃🧶

[@dmm1648]

I'm definitely trying this and imagine beginner but I love watching the videos. I'm a visual person and I can't read the directions to crochet. So I love this and the colors are gorgeous 😍

[@amymoudry7621]

I am in love with this pattern!!You have made what looks like a way complicated pattern a easy one (for me) you are a excellent teacher very patient explain everything I’m detail! I AM LOVIN IT thank you so much

[@GracefullyUnraveled]

While I don’t like switching colors because weaving ends is annoying. I can see where the extra effort is completely worth it! It is gorgeous & your sample piece is (muah, chef’s kiss). I LOVE the colors!

[@HookedbyRobin]

If you were into fringing then it might be OK? But yeah, it drives me nuts too LMAO 🤣 The things we do to ourselves huh?

[@GracefullyUnraveled]

Yeah, I reckon I’m into fringe on projects. I actually want to make myself a blanket with this stitch & the only way it would happen is if I did fringe instead of weaving the millions of ends 😂

[@yvonneramos755]

I am going to use the ends as part of a fringe so I can avoid sewing them in. 😁😁

[@katharinawinter3788]

To avoid the ends, you could use 2 balls of yarn of every color. You'd have a lot of balls hanging on the work, but it also saves some yarn.

[@pippaliciousj]

I need to try this one when I've mastered the basics. Love the name lol

[@trishcaceres1906]

LOVE IT 💜 cant wait to try this just purchased Red Heart varigated yarn beautiful pattern as always Thank You Robin 🤗

[@c.bailey9546]

Yes, I will be trying this pattern, it looks like it will be a fun pattern to learn. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@HookedbyRobin]

So fun! Thank you for watching.😃

[@carletaschwontkowski7350]

Simply stunning. I am going to have to do this for sure. Thanks so much.

[@beckysteinmiller338]

I most definitely will be making something with this stitch! Great tutorial, thank you!!

[@yvonneramos755]

I love this stitch. I ran out today to get yarns to use it in making scarves for Christmas gifts. 😀💕

[@michellehall9077]

That is the coolest stitch I have ever seen! 💙 I can't wait to try it out making the blanket. Love the way you do tutorials, nice and slow and very clear instructions. Thanks so much! Have a great evening.

Hello my sweet Robin! Thank you for this great tutorial! I love this stitch pattern! I can’t wait to try it, I might start tonight! I think the all the tails left to sew on is worth it with this beautiful pattern. I love the way it looks with another colors! The contrast is beautiful thank you 🙏 toy the best teacher!!!

[@carolynsage889]

Love this stitch!

[@50saphir]

amazing and beautiful stitch

[@fionahowser1517]

Definitely going into try this! Probably in a solid colour because I’m too lazy to change colours and weave in ends! 🤣 I may try it with a colour changing yarn too. Absolutely love your tutorials.

[@donnafalgout7277]

Can not wait to try this. Love your videos.

[@dxmaxx1708]

This is so cool and really pretty easy….I’m excited to try it! Love your yarn selection!!!

Awesome stitch! Thanks Robin! I pray you are blessed during this holiday season and ALWAYS!! 🙏

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much Sally, you too! 🥰🎄

[@donnamellow746]

I love this! I am so glad I found your channel. Thank you so much for all these fantastic tutorials! Definitely trying this today in gray and teal. Making a blanket for my son and daughter in law! I’m going to be changing colors lol.

[@HookedbyRobin]

That sounds perfect Donna and thank you so much for your kind words.😃🧶

[@cindy-annereed]

Thank you Robin. Was looking for something challenging. Will try it

[@marthacombs7575]

I will definitely be trying this stitch

[@rebekahalana]

This is a gorgeous stitch ! I feel like you have to use 2 colors to really see the pattern at it's best.I think I want to try this to make a headband. If I leave the ends a bit longer they can be braided together to make the tie on one side . I think it would be perfect.

[@shirley9240]

Sounds lovely! Beautiful idea!

[@jackied.7682]

This is gorgeous

[@judyeuller7602]

So beautiful!

[@maybarnard1088]

[@HookedbyRobin]

🥰

[@lynettewykes9923]

Lovely stitch. I’m looking forward to trying it out - maybe a fringe is a good idea!!

[@angieelliott8741]

It is beautiful! I have been watching a ton of crochet tutorials, lately. This, by far, is one of the easiest ones I've watched in the last couple of days. I don't think I'll change color every other row. I may just use a color changing yarn for the project. I don't like all of the weaving ends. It's something I definitely want to try!! Thank you for your great explanations!! It's always so easy to follow your tutorials!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Awwh, thank you so much Angie!😀 I am with you there - I hate weaving in ends too.😂

[@jillpaxton2422]
