[@dexteraldo2482]

you prolly dont care but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!

[@adrielmaximiliano3952]

@Dexter Aldo Instablaster =)

[@dexteraldo2482]

@Adriel Maximiliano i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@maryrebeccalemoine9655]

Hey! My Name is Becky, justed started knitting about 1 year ago. I just purchased your Book. I'm so excited to receive it. I should be getting it in 2 (two) or 3 (three) days I purchased my book at Etsy! Thank you and I can't wait until I receive my book. MANY THANKS!!!!

[@studioknit]

Wonderful! Thanks so much for your order. I’m mailing it out tomorrow to you from California. Enjoy! 💖

[@sabrinalayton2835]

I've been looking for something easy (knits and purls only) that I can use to easily track how many rows I've done... for a scrap blanket... thank you so, so much, this is beautiful and so simple

[@JeffenyGLee]

I Love it. I've Been looking for a pattern for a blanket. This is just perfect. Thank you.

[@studioknit]

Yay!!!! Happy knitting to you!

[@jenniferfatzinger7714]

This is my favorite knit stitch pattern. I knitted a blanket in this stitch pattern using straight knitting needles.

[@zubaidaraza2894]

Hi I wanted to make this pattern But was confused In the written pattern There’s purl all and knit all in between But on the dotted chart ,it shows purl all in between This is confusing Please let me know I want to make a single blanket

[@mariacorona2991]

It’s beautiful stitch

[@KarenHoyt-Bonkahoney3]

Love this! I am going to try this for some of the washcloths that I am making for Christmas gifts this year. I have been knitting since this past January and continue to want to push my comfort level. After the beginning of the year, I plan to go bravely into more projects & plan on checking out all of your videos! Thank you!

[@tallieclary3412]

I am going to like all your videos your so great!!

[@susanfarmer479]

Very pretty pattern! I always look forward to your videos and save them to use later.

[@SALLOWMYSOUL]

[@katiebryan9228]

I love it! so awesome but easy.

[@studioknit]

Thanks, Katie!!! Happy knitting to you!

[@josueromanmirandavelazquez5641]

Es un hermoso trabajo te felicito por tu desempeño

[@missmonroe2572]

Hi Kristen, I love your videos you explain yourself so well. I’d actually like to request a pattern for a winter head band/earwarmer! I typically make them for my friends for Christmas and I always end up doing something wrong with my pattern! Thankyou!

[@YourGirlKath]

i don’t understand why it has to be multiples of 10+5? or is that just what you chose to use and you can use any multiples as long as your squares follow that

[@Hayidah12]

I’ve loved this ever since I saw it my grandmother likes to use this pattern on blankets!its easy and looks cool

[@studioknit]

Thanks! Yes! I saw a big, jumbo yarn knitted checkerboard blanket on Pinterest and cannot wait to make my own. Would also be really pretty with colorful and striped yarns.

[@rubytownsend9432]

As biginner it seem hard but i like it this will cause my mind thicking over and over i will do it this will take me long but it doesnt matter how i will get it right it a lot to learn but it will worth it all in the end

[@studioknit]

Enjoy!

[@SassySophelia]

You’re the best teacher, please do a knit a long cardigan with waist shaping fit. PLEASE🙏🏼😘

[@studioknit]

So sweet, thanks. Great idea!

[@alikc25]

Great pattern.

[@vixen4u]

thank you so much for this video i was trying it before watching this and was getting annoyed. But now i have got it right thanks to your video. Thanks so much once again.

[@studioknit]

Great!!!

[@TheMuffinKitty]

Awesome! Love your stitch patterns :) could you do a tutorial on edges/sides?

[@MusicAddictGrl]

I did six rows but when you look at the the garter portions it doesnt look like theres as many as yours

[@6699Jackie]

This looks so prettythanks for sharing, i love your videos :)

[@studioknit]

Hi, Jackie! Thanks so much! Happy knitting to you!

[@debils4546]

How would you add an edge around this if I were to make a baby blanket?

[@patricecooper8419]

Hello Kristen! I was very, very pleased with this pattern! You mentioned that this can be done for a baby blanket. So if I were to do this for a blanket for me, say for example (I don't have children)-but if a blanket was done, can I do this on circular knitting needles, and how many stitches can this be done on these? I understand that it requires multiples of 10 + 5, but for a blanket, how many stitches? So I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your beautiful videos and your sweet personality!

[@bittersweet82]

Small size lap blanket cast on 120 + 5 medium size cast on 160 +5 large 240, so you would make 2 mediums and mattress stitch together.

[@gingerrylant]

How would you do it with 2colors.. Like the knit is one color ..purl a different color???

[@shawnroglin6727]

Can I turn this pattern into a reversible pattern?

[@joan66joshua]

Do you have any knitting patterns for table runners and table mats

[@ddelfao]

Hello I have done rows 1-6 but I don’t know how to knit the exact same pattern from the “wrong side”. How is that achieved ? Thank you

[@akka870]

Love this stitch! How does it differ from the basketweave stitch?

[@zubaidaraza2894]

Hi I was looking at this pattern Is a bit confusing me On the dotted pattern it’s shows purl all in between But where there is written pattern It says purl all and knit all in between Can you please explain Thank you

[@briannariederer059]

My first attempt, my purl stitches came out like my knit stitches. I moved the working yarn so I could do a purl, and did as you say, but all my purls came out just like a knit stitch. What did I do wrong?

[@angelineangela5981]

Easy, but looks like awesome

[@studioknit]

Hi, Angeline! Thanks!!! Happy knitting to you!

[@suniles2111]

so i watched the checkerboard pattern...i wasn't clear on what to do about ROW 7.

[@Brookiebiss]

love

[@Trayne1837]

How can I do that in 2 colors , like Black and Red.?

[@mariaangel8037]

Thank you!!!

[@vantae_8459]

Kristen can you please help me. I think I am doing it wrong and I am a little bit confused.

[@timschwamb721]

What's the difference between the GARTER CHECKERBOARD and the basket weave stitch???

[@studioknit]

+Tim Schwamb The basketweave is entirely stockinette stitch on the right side. The Garter Checkerboard is a mix of stockinette and garter squares!

[@patricecooper8419]

Hello again Kristen! May I do this stitch on circular knitting needles, or is straight ones better?

[@AdrianaDtMF]

I know you posted that question two years ago but if you click the link for the free pattern there are instructions using circular needles. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙈

[@gracaoliveira2792]

Lindo o ponto t e m amo tricô e croché bjs

[@sjcramer35]

Will this curl on the edges?

[@studioknit]

Yes, a little bit on the edges of the stockinette edges. If you want it to be super flat, add a garter stitch edge all around.

[@sjcramer35]

How many stitches would be best on the border?

[@jenniferfatzinger7714]

I’ve done this pattern before.

[@alexandrefournier]

Everytime that music starts I think I'm watching a Sailrite video hahaha!

[@studioknit]

Ha... yup, free music from KZbin!

[@alyshabeshara3197]

Could you tell me what you mean on Row 8 where you say "from the wrong side" (I'm a beginner) thank you.

[@studioknit]

Sure. Wrong side is the back side! This video should help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKrHl59rnp2laLs 💖

[@esterelenafranco7617]

Hola la verdad , al no saber el idioma , no se como continua el , en la 2 da vuelta

[@PN-sk3ve]

nice video =)

[@studioknit]

Hi again, Miss Pretty!!! Hope all is going great with you!

[@ursinabrunschwyler9588]

I adore the pattern, what I can not understand is why does one have to let go of the needle while knitting. It's where I lose you in your instruction.

[@NIKITANIKITA97486]

This video confused me soooooo much

[@christinedunne6768]

I got confused after row 9

[@vivienlys76]

Omg, u re too fast for beginner like us 😖

[@estherludwig3634]

Can I use circular needles?
