Chevron Ripple Afghan |
Size 9US cabled knitting needles
(my gauge is 5 stitches = 1 inch)
for a baby afghan or lap blanket (36" wide) I cast on 184 stitches
Row 1 K2, *K1f&b, k5, sl1 (knitwise), k2tog, psso, k5, k1f&b* (repeat from * to * to the last 2 sts) K2
Row 2 Knit
Repeat Row 1 and 2 until you reach the length that you want.
BO after row 1
I use this pattern as a stash buster, so I do not have accurate yardage, however here is a link that can get you close.

**If you wish to alternate colors always change colors on Row 1. The afghan pictured has alternating stripes after 10 rows.
**Optional tip: I always slip the first stitch, as if to purl, at the beginning of every row. This makes a very nice smooth edge.
**If you are new to the chevron pattern, in order to keep
your place, I put a marker every so often in between the last k1f&b and the first
k1f&b. If I get to this place and I am 'off' it is easier to fix
immediately.
