Original Ten Stitch Design by Frankie Brown

Loom Conversion of Ten Stitch by Charity Windham

A version of the Ten Stitch Blanket originally designed by Frankie Brown. This version was intended for Jumbo gauge loom measuring 1 1/2″ center to center peg with a peg circumference of 2 1/2″, specifically the Zippy loom from KB. A video tutorial was made and will show techniques in the following pattern (http://youtu.be/gL10sl04TBk).

Loom(s):

Use any gauge loom. Need minimum 6 pegs. 5 main working pegs; 6th is used for pick up stitch. 2 Zippy Looms by KB used in sample; connected

Yarn:

Use appropriate yarn for loom gauge (or hold multiple strands as one as needed). Super Bulky ruffle yarn used in sample.

Gauge:

On Zippy Loom sample, With Ruffle Yarn sample measures roughly 4 stitches = 3″ and 9 garter ridges = 5 3/4″

For alternate loom to try that gauge used two pegs as one on a 31 peg loom for the five stitch blanket. So use 10 pegs for a 5 stitch blanket. The 31 peg loom used in the sample is a knotty Knitter with a regular C2C peg spacing of 11/16″ LG Large Gauge or use similar loom. Yarn used in other test sample was Super Bulky acrylic- Premier Yarns Mega. Super Bulky 6. Thank you to Heather Clark DuLuard for her feedback and valuable contribution! Her width is a snitch under 3″ for 4 stitches and 9 ridges are about 5 1/4″, so just a small variance under the zippy with a Super Bulky Yarn.
