Free Craft EZ Graph It Houndstooth Throw Pattern

Not EASY!

I am very frustrated with this project. No way is it "Easy." The tutorial doesn't match the herringbone pattern. I counted the loops a million times to make sure it was 100 loops, but at the end of the first row, the loops don't fit the pattern. I can't end the first row as indicated on the pattern. I followed the tutorial as much as possible since the pattern is different but have ripped out the first row twice. So frustrating. I have to get this right or it won't look like a herringbone pattern. This pattern is all about alignment.

• Thank you for taking the time to provide a review for the Bernat EZ Graph it Houndstooth Throw. We are sorry to hear that you are find this pattern frustrating. The tutorial video included with this pattern is meant to provide video demonstration of how to start and work finger knitting (up to 2:54); however, you will use the chart in this pattern to create the Houndstooth Throw. You will need 100 loops pulled up when you finish row 1. It if it easier (it may require a little more yarn, start with 1 row of the dark color, followed by 1 row of the light color to ensure there are 100 loops pulled up before starting your chart. The chart tells you which color to pull up when. If you need further instructions, feel free to email us at inquire@yarnspirations.com

Love houndstooth

I love houndstooth in general. I have just started this pattern and I think it would be good to change the directions. After about 5 false starts, I realized that the based chain row needs to be 101, not 100. You skip that first chain when you start your stitches. More to follow. I’m finding it more difficult with the double loops, but this is my first attempt. I’ll post when completed. I changed my yarn color to charcoal/cream. I like the idea of it being finished on both sides too. If I have other helpful tips, I will post those too.
