- [Kristen] Loom knit the garter drop stitch pattern,
just like this one here, it is an elongated stitch
that shows off the yarn beautifully,
whether you're working in the round
or you want to work on a flat loom.
You can work this in a flat panel back and forth.
You can also connect it and work it all the way around.
We're gonna work on this today.
It doesn't matter if you have a small gauge loom like this
or something much larger.
Today on GoodKnit Kisses.
Welcome to GoodKnit Kisses,
we're all about helping you
stitch your love and love your stitches.
This stitch pattern is perfect for beginners
because it works with an E-wrap stitch and a purl.
You can't tell that it's E-wrap and it gets this really cool
elevated look that shows off your yarn.
Now, again, you can use a small gauge loom
like I'm using here, or you can use something
spaced out much wider and bigger yarn.
To get this written stitch pattern on our blog,
be sure and click on the video description link below
and get that as well as my infinity scarf pattern
that you can get here.
This one has worked in a flat panel back and forth
and joined on the ends for an infinity scarf,
but I also have a video and a pattern for working
this spring vine infinity scarf,
which has worked in the round if you have a much larger loom
and you wanna make it that way with just a few rows,
you can work several rounds and get
an infinity scarf that way.
It just has a much longer bind off.
All right, so get those in the video description link below,
grab your supplies, which has a loom and some yarn
and your tool, and let's begin.
This stitch pattern works with any number of stitches,
whether you're working in the round
or you work in a flat panels, such as I'm doing right here.
You're going to cast on in an E-wrap, double E-wrap method.
I've casted on 40 stitches working from this direction
all the way to here.
And then you need a foundation row of purl.
So cast on and purl and then we're going to meet back up
to do this six-row repeat, which gets you these ridges
and this elongated stitch for the drop stitch.
Now, if you need a reminder refresher videos,
we have our lessons in casting on the E-wrap stitch
and the purls stitch down in the video description
link below I will go over those stitches individually,
but casting on you'll need to do that yourself.
So, start your cast on over here and here
and purl all the way back, pause your video
and I'll meet you right here, see you soon.
The six-row repeat will end after a purl row
and this is what it will look like when you start
repeating your six rows.
You can see this elongated drop stitch
and then the purl row here.
So I wanted you to see what this looks like
because this video is just gonna concentrate
on those six rows and it will look like this
every time you start your new repeated section.
When you're ready to bind off to make an infinity scarf,
that you will be binding off at this row here.
But you can add a few more garter ridges to finish it off
with a duplicated edge, just like this one.
So I just want you to see that in the beginning here.
So go ahead and start row one.
I'm gonna connect my ends
and it's a little bit easier to work,
and go ahead and we're gonna E-wrap row one, okay?
Go all the way around all pegs, do not skip that first one,
don't slip it, and go ahead and go all the way around.
Pause your video and I will meet you on your last stitch.
See you soon.
Go ahead and e-wrap these stitches and it over to finish
that e-wrap stitch, and then you can go ahead
and start your row two of this repeat, which is purl.
So this is the shortcut.
You can go to the front here and start working
your purl stitch immediately.
And it's like you're working two rows in one.
So you just purl across a few of these stitches.
And then knit over the next several
and continue working your purl stitches, okay?
Now this one's looser because of course I've got
my other elongated rows down below, don't worry about that.
Yours will be a tighter the first time
and then whenever you've got your repeats on there,
it'll be looser like this one is, okay?
Go through and purl, pause your video,
I'll see you for the next row, see you soon.
All right, you finished rows one and two
of your first garter stitch ridge,
and now we need to do rows three and four.
You're going to e-wrap knit again and purl on the way back
for that and then we're going to work on the drops to row.
If you'd like to eliminate this middle ridge here,
you can just skip this part and go ahead
and start on rows five and six,
where we're going to be wrapping our pegs
and making that drop stitch.
So, go ahead and work the ridge if you'd like to do
the six stitch repeat like I have here,
e-wrap knit down a purl back, pause your video
and I will meet you back at this step, see you soon.
Already for row five, you're going to start
by E-wrap the first stitch.
So e-wrap knit off, and then we're going to wrap
this peg three times.
So we're going to wrap one, two, three times
and then go to the next peg, you're going to repeat that.
Knit one, which is with an E-wrap,
you can use a U-wrap knit,
but I suggest in the E-wrap and then you're wanna wrap
that peg three times one, two, three.
Now you can wrap them more than that
to get a much longer stitch.
Sometimes it just depends on how tall your pegs are
and your yarn thickness.
So keep that in mind and you can feel free
to make that a pattern, I'll go a little bit longer
by adding an extra wrap.
Just make sure you have the same amount of wraps
on all of these to get an even look.
All right, so knit one and wrap that same peg three times,
go to the next peg, knit it and wrap it three times.
Continue all the way down, pause your video
when you can get to the last stitch
and we'll work that together, see you soon.
All right, so you're going to keep going
until you get to the very last stitch
and go ahead and just e-wrap knit
that one and do not wrap it.
So what we're going to do now is for row six,
we're going to pull off all of these drop stitches
and then pull down on our work and then purl across.
So, technically row six is actually just
a purling all stitches across,
but you do need to drop these stitches.
Now the reason why we don't work this last stitch
is because once I pull off these drops stitches here
and I get my work pulled down, I can elongate
that very last stitch when my working yarn gets pulled
when I pull down the previous row.
So let me do a few of these.
I'm just going to the very top stitch here
and then flipping it over the top of my peg, all right?
Just like that and getting these long stitches
pulled in the back.
You can also go to the back and pull them off this way.
This is easier to see like this,
and then you just pop it off like that
and then continue going.
Sometimes what I do is I just pop off one
and then go and get the first one's done,
and then I'll go to the front after I'd done several
and then I'll just kind of flip them off with my finger.
Okay, that sounds funny.
But I'll just pull those like that
and then once I have several done like this,
you can see how I'm gonna pull it and it will elongate
those stitches, let me show you from the back here.
Pulling it, you see how it makes those
now much longer stitch here now don't worry,
I just only did the two ridges here
that's why it's not the same height as this.
I just wanted to show you what those two ridges look like
if you eliminate that one.
So when I pull this down here, you can see my working yarn
is down at the ridges down below here,
and it's elongated this stitch.
So I'm going to take my working yarn
and come up to the first stitch.
And on this one, I'm just going to pull on that first row.
Well, this row below, I gonna pull on this one
and elongate it, keep it elongated
while I work the first stitch.
As I wanna make sure that my working yarn
remains long on that first one.
Let's pull this off, and we're gonna purl this stitch,
and put it back on here, okay?
So it was really loose, go ahead and work your next one.
And you may need to just work the first few.
They're all gonna feel loose, but work the first few
kind of loose and then pull down to make sure
that you still have that elongated stitch.
Otherwise, it's gonna kind of rise up.
Now to contrast it with a needle version,
the needle version doesn't pull down quite as nicely
as that, and so it puts this little extra wounded part here
and it doesn't fully look as pretty
as actually the loom version does.
See how pretty that looks.
And this one kinda get a little bit of that garter stitch
on the edge, so you can get a really pretty edge
doing it this way, all right?
So just continue by purling across your dropped stitches
and it will be loose.
So you may wanna pull down on your yarn here,
make sure you don't have anything bumping you
and getting in the way and making these pull off, okay?
And then just do a few more as you go.
I wouldn't pull all of them off at once
or this whole thing will come off the loom very easy, okay?
All right, so I just do several at a time, pull it down
and then work them across.
You're just gonna repeat that all the way down
until the end, down here, and pull those off elongated,
finish your last purl stitch and you will be back
to where we were in the beginning.
You'll just repeat those until you get to the length
that you want, be sure and click down to get the pattern
to this one to see how many I did to make my infinity scarf.
This right here represents one repeat
is about an inch and a half with this work here.
So you can tell how long that will be
if it's in the gauge that you're using.
All right, did you like it?
