Knitting Tutorial - Zen Yarn Garden Chevron Baby Blanket

[@bal.dot.d]

It's really nice that you discuss the spacing of the markers and how these matter in the pattern. It helps me understand the why and not just the what.

[@17didit]

I always search your videos first for help with my knitting. You get straight to the point and give clear instructions. That's a rarity on the internet and I appreciate it. Lovely baby blanket!

[@andrewstiller1662]

Your tutorials are great. I especially like all of the nifty little tricks that you provide to help make knitting easier and yet look more polished. Thanks so much!

[@anikabennett810]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your tutorials, I have learned so much from you! I also want to thank you for your video on DPN’s , casting on with very few stitches. I finally got it and have started the French Market basket, am loving it! Thank you again!

[@karenboehlert7862]

Staci, thank you for sharing this pattern. It was a complete joy to knit. I looked forward to it for the few evenings after work that it took to complete. I know I'll make more, just to have on hand for a sweet gift when needed. You are always a treat to watch! 😊

[@laurafriloux3919]

I've been at home with strep throat, and seeing this pop up in my notifications just put a huge smile on my face! I love the way you explain things, and I've been a big fan of yours for a looong time!

[@margaritamendezmarimon3304]

Fabulous pattern and tutorial, as always. By the way. I will like so much that you do more of your series of fancy sitches, even the more easy ones. Nobody takes the time to show the swaps in diferent yarns and suggest the best use for that particular stitch, except you. You are the best!

[@mary-annegillard8019]

I am excited to make my First Chevron baby blanket, it’s also my first time listening to your video and learning your pattern. I’m from Devonport Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 thank you for your tutorial 😀

[@kiramaepetty]

I love your tutorials so much, you are the one that taught me how to knit five years ago and I thank you for that. I love the way this blanket looks and my aunt is pregnant, but holy cow those yarn kits are way out of my price range lol. I'll have the wait another day to make this blanket.

[@jeanchiusano2861]

Wow pretty. Looks easy when you get the hang of it. Thank you for these instructions ❤️

[@brendaanne0810]

It is GORGEOUS!! Thank you!! U ALWAYS come to your tutorials when I need help!! 💞

[@WombatofDOOM53]

My mother taught me to cast on like that when I was 7 years old. I have never seen anyone else use that method. That brings back memories. :-)

[@christinacaravousanos7279]

thank you so much for sharing this , I have been looking every kind of patterns how to do the chevron blanket. You always give so clear instructions and explains straight to the point . thank you so much Tracey.

[@hotmes3]

I LOVE your tutorials and patterns you create! I have been looking for ideas for a new blanket pattern and this is just the one! Thank you and look forward to watching more of your tutorials!

[@dbtate8661]

Love this pattern! It's my "go to" every time!

[@sovereigns1grace]

Love this pattern!! I've always done a crochet version for my kids & grandkids. But, now that I knit so much I was wishing for a knit pattern. You must be an angel because I think you heard my wish!! Thank you so much Staci!!

[@helencaudill1583]

I am so in love with the pattern, yarn and tutorial ... thank you so much

[@louisedragne5319]

Dear Mrs Very Pink, I am admiring you 👏🏆you look always so well elegant and beautiful👏🏆as well your amazing clear and grate tutorials

[@amyhughett5507]

I just now came across this video. Love your instructions as they are very clear and easy to understand. I am actually using a 3 weight yarn and making a baby blanket using this pattern. Hope it turns out alright.

[@janieberks3201]

great video, I have been looking for a quick chevron blanket for baby pattern, and here you are with it. I like your weaving ends in technique better than the one I've been using, I am switching to your technique. Thank you.

[@reflexology52welsh48]

I love your pattern tutorials, I get so excited when I see that’s what you’ve posted! Btw, love your hair!

[@florabacchues6674]

I just love her video's so helpful. simply wonderful. Thanks so much

[@gemni5683]

Omg! This pattern is so cute and versatile. if you keep going with your sample it would be a cute scarf, a little wider and a wonderful pashmina. I think I have to make these all!

[@meredith5737]

Great pattern, lovely yarn, comprehensive tutorial, thank you!

[@tracybeam5038]

I love kits, too!! This is great! Thanks!

[@anikabennett810]

About my question...I think I figured it out, but thanks for the wonderful tutorial! You are an awesome instructor!

[@sharondonovan1403]

Beautiful blanket... Great turtorial THANKS for sharing.

[@TrudySchwartzBurrill]

Great instructions on weaving in ends. Smiles and umbrellas.

[@anitawessels3932]

Wow this is great blanket to give to a new baby.

[@MzCR73]

Thank you for explaining how to count rows.

[@nanahussein8158]

I love the pattern,thanks

[@Dtree12345]

Hi Staci. Awesome channel! And great conversation today!

[@verypinkknits]

Yay! I was hoping you'd get in touch because I have a burning question that I'm kicking myself for not asking during our convo today! Please shoot me a note at [e-mail] so I can ask!

[@MT-bc6xf]

Thank you

[@farrabrittanyallice]

I just did a chevron baby blanket but i had purls on the wrong side. it was great but next time ill do this one! thanks staci. btw love the podcast

[@bettyaldama7759]

Loved this video! You have such pretty nails & hands!

[@luisalobo6137]

Lindo, obrigada por explicar tão bem, consigo sempre reproduzir o que ensina, grata 😊

[@genevievenathan7343]

I learn this, thank you 🙏

[@Erin-e]

Love this!! Please do more chunky yarn tutorials. 😃

[@loridavison6672]

Thank you great tutorial

[@sharontaylor1169]

Love this one!

[@theastewart6721]

Very nice!

[@sandygrogg1203]

Beautiful blNket.. 👍

[@patticarpenter4382]

I love the tutorial and the pattern. I am in a blanket making mode with both knitting and crocheting. This pattern will be a great new addition. I notice that you wear a blue stone ring. Is it a sapphire? Do you have a September birthday? I do! Have a great week.

[@nessa7808]

I absolutely love your videos, your designs, your clarity.... But I have a favor to ask... When you are teaching a stitch, is it possible to have a link for how to do it Continental, please? I have a lot of trouble adjusting certain techniques to a Continental version. Thanks so much!!!

[@verypinkknits]

It's really no different...the only difference is the hand holding the working yarn. The pattern is the same, otherwise. If you can work the knit stitch in Continental, following the pattern as written will get you this blanket. :)

[@nessa7808]

VeryPink Knits my confusion is in the SSK, but I'll try it. It's not my only instance that I don't quite understand the technique. I am going to try it, though. Thanks for replying. I'm a big fan.... A Connecticut girl living in Chile! :)

[@shelleylee2162]

Great demo! Is it possible to finish with a flat, I mean not zigzag edge?

[@verypinkknits]

You would have to "fill in" the zig zags at one side for that, that is a major modification.

[@stephiescrafts]

I just purchased a skein of hand dyed silk yarn, I’ve never knit with silk before. What would be the best kind of project to knit with silk?

[@paietynb.2690]

Does the number you cast on with matter with chevron? Like multiples of 16 or something?

[@laboricuabonita1385]

Coincidentally I'm working on a similar baby chevron blanket with minor differences and I have a question on a problem I'm encountering. Somehow the yarn that I'm using (Woolspun by Lion Brand Lion's Pride) split in such a way that it appears I did it accidentally while working on the blanket and didn't notice it until more than halfway through. I tried to drop a stitch down to it in order to fix it and looks like this isn't your normal run of the mill "drop a stitch down to the mistake, correct, and work the stitch back up" scenario. In my case, the dropped stitch started dropping diagonally and far away from the errored stitch. Is there an actual way to fix this or am I out of luck? I did try dropping anyway and ended up ruining the entire color block, had to remove it and reknit.

[@doadirockwell1761]

Does it matter if you wrap the yarn clockwise or counter-clockwise with your right hand as you cast on ?

[@joebutterworth602]

hello very pink and lovely blanket and colours you done and how many day did it taken you to knit xx

[@TrudySchwartzBurrill]

Awesome, thank you.

[@amybennett8939]

This is so gorgeous!! How can I modify to make it bigger than a baby blanket? I’d like a throw blanket in this pattern and with that yarn

[@barbaraward9601]

The multiple is 16 stitches; you can increase as many 16 stitches as you need to make the width you want.

[@cheetahsdimples-1]

your hands are so beautiful....wish mine looked like yours

[@cyn5490]

I have a ton of this yarn and would like to make a lap blanket. Do you have any advice for enlarging this pattern? Also, can you join yarn in the middle of a row or would it look messy? Thanks!

[@verypinkknits]

You'd have to do the math for the size you like, but the repeat is 16 stitches, and each 16 stitches gives you 6" of width. Every 8 garter ridges gives you 6" of length.

[@Calhoungal]

I think I'll buy double and make a big person throw. :-) Any tips on binding off with this pattern?

[@verypinkknits]

I give instructions in the pattern - I recommend a normal BO with a needle one size larger than you used to knit the blanket.

[@anikabennett810]

Question...if I already have some wonderful bulky yarn in quite a few colors, many yards would I need for color A,B and C?

[@chrisdarry-roseelrod4481]

Anika Bennett it tells you on the Zen garden website how many skeins and the yardage. You can follow the links to get to it by starting with Stacie's website. It's s few clicks away.

[@anikabennett810]

Thank you, I found it!

[@penzer2010]

Could one alternate between garter and stockinette sections with this pattern? My idea would be using one color and changing from garter to stockinette and vice versa where the pattern indicates a color change.

[@verypinkknits]

As long as you keep the top and bottom edges garter stitch, and you don't make the stockinette sections too long, you shouldn't have an issue with the blanket curling up.

[@aussietash831]

penny zerr how did the stockinette end up looking ?

[@d.rim.4275]

It baffles me every time how you can knit with the main thread on the right side ... and so relatively fast!! I tried it several times but it was a desaster 😂 stitches too loose, constantly dropped a stitch, and my finger started cramping up. Gonna stay with the way I learned it (thread in the left hand). It doesn't make a difference when it comes to the pattern itself, right?

[@verypinkknits]

As long as you're knitting on to an empty needle in your right hand (you're not a mirror knitter), it doesn't matter for stitches or patterns which hand you hold the working yarn. These two videos explain more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpfNlnSiaquKrpo kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmarcqR9bbWlmMU

[@d.rim.4275]

VeryPink Knits thank you for the links! No, I just use the technique mostly used in Germany, we usually have the thread in the left hand.

[@joannadelbuono6132]

what bind off method do you use to maintain the stretch??

[@maureenblakeborough6696]

What size knitting needle please .

[@rafaeladavincivangogh2970]

Haga un tutorial de chevron e tunecino.Habla muy rápido y no entiendo.Sus trabajos son bonitos

[@rayskitten78]

wrapping is how i cast on

[@maureenblakeborough6696]

What size knitting please

[@brittany45]

What's the multiple? I'm guessing 16 + something?

[@verypinkknits]

Yes, the pattern repeat is 16 stitches.

[@JenniferMckissick-cg5yx]

What is the yarn size?

[@madaketmom]

May I ask if you think the yarn will wear well?

[@verypinkknits]

It came out of the wash looking great - I think it will wear well.

[@madaketmom]

VeryPink Knits thank you!

[@madaketmom]

VeryPink Knits yarn ordered 😊

[@helenhenry6218]

Could you make a scarf with the example pattern as you show it here? Thanks

[@christinacaravousanos7279]

I called you Tracey instead of Staci my apologies.

[@charissawilkinson9270]

Thank you.
