Easy Instrctions for 10 Stitch on Round Loom
Easy Loom Knit Ten Stitch Blanket Pattern & Video Tutorial
Hey, loom knitters, I've got big news for you today! Well, it's bigger than big. Huge! Monumental! There's a new loom knit Ten Stitch Blanket pattern in town and it's better than ever.
The ten stitch blanket changed the world of loom knitting because it can be done on any loom in any gauge with any yarn! All you need is a loom with 10 pegs and yarn. Frankie Brown took the knitting world by storm when she pblished her needle knit Ten Stitch Blanket 10 years ago. Since that time the pattern was converted to the loom, but sadly, it is no longer available.
I decided now is the time to bring it back! I got permission from Frankie to convert the pattern from needle to loom. You may not know it, but Frankie has over 400 patterns available for free on Ravelry. Her patterns are free, but she welcomes donations to the Children's Liver Disease Foundation, a cause near and dear to her heart. You can show her your appreciation by getting more details on Frankie's Ravelry page.
Rather than work from someone else's conversion I decided to start over with original pattern. My assistant, Joann Gay, and I worked to make the directions easier to understand and smoother to knit on a loom. This is NOT the same ten stitch pattern you've used before. Seriously, you're going to love it!
What's new?
- THE CORNERS – We rewrote the instructions for the corners to make them easier to follow. Also, you have the option of working corners two ways: wrapping the peg or German short rows. See which one you like best!
- THE JOIN – You know that thick ridge as you join your edges? It's now smoother and flatter. You also don't have an extra (11th) peg to deal with. We think a loom knit ten stitch blanket should use 10 pegs!
- THE CALCULATOR – We've got a Ten Stitch Calculator to help you figure out how big your blanket will end up. It can also tell you how many rounds to knit to reach the size you want.
- THE CHART – I've also designed a new downloadable chart for you plan your blanket. But more about that later…
- THE PDF DOWNLOAD – The pattern is available as a downloadable PDF so you can load it onto your phone or tablet and have it available anywhere you go.
- THE VIDEOS – I've filmed a video showing the new techniques just for you. I know videos can be hard for left-handed loomers to follow so I have a special video just for you lefties to watch!

Ten Stitch Design
The Ten Stitch Blanket can be so much more than a way to use up yarn. You could use a contrast color for the corners, make each side a different color, make each round a different color and much more. Let your creativity go wild! Use the following diagram to plan your ten stitch blanket and track your progress:
Square Blanket: Each round you will knit 4 corners and 4 sides. The small red lines indicate where you finish each round.
Rectangle Blanket: As with the Square, you will knit 4 corners and 4 sides on each round EXCEPT the last round. You will finish the last round after the 3rd side. Do NOT knit the last corner and side!
