How to Loom Knit the Garter Stitch Rectangles

The Garter Stitch Rectangles is the first in a series of blanket stitches. Many of my Patreon Patrons have new babies and they want to knit for them. Although this stitch is not really reversible the back of the fabric looks very good. The pattern is super interesting in that combines the rib stitch with a basket weave. That gives the fabric a stretchy character. That’s a plus in loom knitting.I think it would make a beautiful cocoon with a matching hat. Even a super cool brimless hat for an adult. Watch for any one of these patterns. Make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel and follow me on social media for updates.

As always I filmed a video tutorial. This pattern is made up of 6 stitches and 26 rows but it is super easy. It combines the rib stitch with a basket weave. Watch the step by step video tutorial below.
