Knit a Striking Chevron Throw for Your Place

, by . 2 Comments

I feel like we’re all going to be staying home this winter even more than normal, and that feeling makes me want to jazz up my space with some new knits and other projects.

I love this Heirloom Chevron Throw from Fancy Tiger Crafts. Use six bold colors, an ombre or neutrals to suit your decor.

The pattern was designed by Joceyln Tunney and is available in a lap size (35 x 50 inches) or a large snuggling size (52 by 74 inches). It’s worked in worsted weight yarn on size 10 US knitting needles.

You can grab the free pattern from the Fancy Tiger Crafts website.

  1. In “How to Knit a Stash Afghan” on Spruce Crafts, you write: “Once you’ve knit and bound off your stash afghan, you’ll just have a hundred little ends to weave in. No problem, right? If you can’t stand ends, cast on twice as many stitches, join your work in the round and work as established (knitting every row will now get you stockinette stitch). Then all your ends will be inside and you won’t have to worry about weaving them in.” I hate weaving in ends, but if you join your work in the round, you get a tube, right? Could you please explain how to do this? Thanks!!!

  2. Yes, I suggested casting on twice as many stitches as you normally would, so that would make a “tube” you flatten out to make a double-thickness blanket. Then if you want you can be lazy and not weave in the ends that are all on the inside of the tube. (Of course you still *should* weave in your ends, but I’ll never tell.)

As a knitter, I have a few tips to share with you when it comes to working with the Eyelet Stitch.

First and foremost, it is important to have a clear understanding of the stitch pattern you will be using. Make sure to read the pattern and familiarize yourself with the instructions before starting.

When working with yarn overs, it’s important to make sure that you are not twisting the yarn when you make the yarn over. This will ensure that the hole created is clean and even.

Pay attention to your tension when working the yarn overs. If your tension is too loose, the holes will be too big, and if it’s too tight, the holes will be too small.

Use a stitch marker to help you keep track of where the eyelets are in your pattern. This will make it easier to identify and make any corrections if needed.

Use a contrasting-colored yarn or thread to weave through the holes of the eyelet stitches after the work is finished. This will help to define the eyelets and make them more visible.

Practice makes perfect! As with any new technique, the more you work with the eyelet stitch, the more comfortable and confident you will become with it.

By following these tips, you’ll be able to create beautiful and neat Eyelet Stitch designs in your knitting projects. Happy Knitting!
