DIRECTIONS:
To find the downloadable patterns click on the "GET PATTERNS" tab above.NOTES:
Right side of project is facing at all times.
There are 52 loops per each color section of EZ Stripes yarn. Only this number of loops will work for striping effect. Determine start at the beginning of a color-change and count exact amount of loops of the same color.
Determine beginning of color change and count exact amount of loops of that same color.
Cut base of first and last loops to create end for secure sts.
To begin working with the O'Go format, carefully cut plastic tie where the ends of the O'Go meet.
Pull tie to remove.
For this pattern, colors can be easily separated by gently pulling apart and cutting at the color transition. Each color is ready to use (Contrast A, B and C).
Count 52 loops for foundation row (noting yarn end is far right and all loops are facing upwards, and next loop to be worked is in the alternate shade in the ball).
1st row: Working from right to left, with working yarn in back, pull 52nd loop (from 'working yarn') up through 51st loop from behind to create a knit st. Pull next loop from working yarn up through next loop of foundation row to create next knit st. Continue in this manner to end of row. Do not turn work. 52 sts in row.
2nd row: Working from right to left, with working yarn in back, pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through last st worked on previous row. *Pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through next st. Repeat from * to end of row.
3rd row: Working from left to right, with working yarn in back, pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through last st worked on previous row. *Pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through next st. Repeat from * to end of row. Do not turn.
Repeat 2nd and 3rd rows until work measures 50" [127 cm], ending on a 2nd row.
BIND OFF ROW: Working in same direction as last row, pull 2nd st through first st. Pull 3rd st thought 2nd st. Pull 4th st through 3rd st. Continue in this manner to end of row. Cut last loop to create a yarn tail. Pull yarn tail through last loop. Tie to secure and weave in ends. (SEE DIAGRAM 1)
VERTICAL SURFACE SLIP STITCH:
Beginning at Bottom Right, count 4 sts in from side edge.
*With A and crochet hook, working from bottom to top edge, surface slip stitch in each row space, noting that working yarn (A) is held at wrong side of work. Fasten off at top edge of blanket.
Skip next st and Join B. Work as before, working surface slip stitch up to top edge of Blanket. Fasten off.
Skip next st and Join C. Work as before, working surface slip stitch up to top edge of Blanket. Fasten off.
Skip next 4 sts of blanket.
Repeat from * 7 times more.(SEE DIAGRAM 2)
Weave in all ends.
