Jagged Zig-Zig

Jagged Zig-Zig Pattern:

  • (A) Base – using 5.50 mm standard hook and DK weight yarn (color A), ch 38. Switch to 6.00 mm Tunisian hook.
  • (A) Foundation – lp on hook counts as first st (now and throughout), 1 Tss into each of the next 36 chs, end-st into last ch, return, change to color B in the last return stitch.
  • (B) Row 1 – 1 Tss into each of the next 36 sts, end-st into last st, return, change to color A in the last return stitch.
  • (A) Row 2 – { fp-Td, 1 Tss into each of the next 2 sts, fp-Td, 1 Tss into each of the next 5 sts } x 4, end-st into last ch, return, change to color B in the last return stitch.
  • (B) Row 3 – { 1 Tss into next st, fp-Td, 1 Tss into each of the next 2 sts, fp-Td, 1 Tss into each of the next 4 sts } x 4, end-st into last ch, return, change to color A in the last return stitch.
  • (A) Row 4 – { 1 Tss into each of the next 2 sts, fp-Td, 1 Tss into each of the next 2 sts, fp-Td, 1 Tss into each of the next 3 sts } x 4, end-st into last ch, return, change to color B in the last return stitch.
  • (B) Row 5 – { 1 Tss into each of the next 3 sts, fp-Td, 1 Tss into each of the next 2 sts, fp-Td, 1 Tss into each of the next 2 sts } x 4, end-st into last ch, return, change to color A in the last return stitch.
  • (A) Row 6 – { 1 Tss into each of the next 4 sts, fp-Td, 1 Tss into each of the next 2 sts, fp-Td, 1 Tss into next st } x 4, end-st into last ch, return, change to color B in the last return stitch.
  • (B) Row 7 – { fp-Td, 1 Tss into each of the next 5 sts, fp-Td, 1 Tss into each of the next 2 sts } x 4, end-st into last ch, return, change to color A in the last return stitch.
  • Continue to Row 32, advancing the stitch pattern and changing color at the end of each row.

If you want to use this as an all-over pattern for a blanket, simply add repetitions of the stitches between the { }. This stitch pattern is 9 stitches wide and any number of rows tall. Your starting chain for a larger piece should be a multiple of 9, plus 2.
