This blanket pattern is translated in eight languages. That alone, by itself it's pretty impressive. The Ten Stitch Blanket by Frankie Brown is a stunning piece of art. I could almost swear I saw similar pieces in art galleries, on the wall. The geometric of this pattern is so unusual, almost impossible to describe other than fabulous. You can use different weight wools in the same project for more artistic effect.
An Elizabeth Zimmermann inspired blanket worked in any yarn using only 10 stitches. You start in the centre and work in a sort of square spiral, joining as you go. No sewing up needed!

The geometric of this pattern is so unusual, almost impossible to describe other than fabulous. You can use different weight wools in the same project for more artistic effect. The video tutorial for the knit version is on the page. The crochet version is on the page after.
Follow along with VeryPink Knits and learn how to make the beautiful Ten Stitch Blanket by Frankie Brown. This video tutorial is going to walk you through the trickier parts of making this blanket so it would be easy for you to complete this project. This is the knit version of the Ten Stitch Blanket.
Information on things you'll see in this video:
The yarn I used in my finished blanket is Berroco Vintage, in colors: cream – 5104, purple – 5155, and petunia – 51105. I bought three hanks of each (but only used 2 of the cream), using size 7 US (4.5mm) needles. After machine washing and drying, my blanket is 40″ square, with a gauge of 4.5 stitches per inch.

Break up the color monotony with this gorgeous blanket pattern. This Ten Stitch Blanket Crochet Pattern, courtesy of Dedri, the so talented creator of Look What I Made, is the crochet version of the so popular Knit Ten Stitch Blanket by Frankie Brown. The crochet version comes with a full set of instructions. Read the details below.
For those of you who have never seen (or heard of) the Ten Stitch Blanket, let me break it down for you:
The Ten Stitch Blanket is worked in a spiral (or “rounds of rows”) around a central square of 10 stitches by 10 rows. The beauty of the project is that the short rows (10 stitches per row, less on the corner rows) propel you forward like you wouldn’t believe and it is the perfect pattern for using up any and every scrap of yarn in your house.
This is a very easy pattern and you should have the different sections memorized by the time you have done a couple of “rounds of rows”.
US Crochet Terminology used.
You can use any thickness of yarn and the appropriate hook for your chosen yarn thickness. It just depends on how fine or bulky you want your finished blanket to be.
You can also use any yarn you fancy. Variegated yarn and hombre-type yarns are my favourite.
Gauge is not important as such, but if you are going to use different thicknesses of yarn, you will need to work up your own gauge square and then adjust your hook accordingly when you swap yarn thicknesses. If you do not do this, you’re going to end up with one wonky-looking blanket.

Im currently doing a zigzag version of this pattern. I love it!
None of the links lead to any pattern.
If you know how to Tunisian crochet there is also a 10 stitch Tunisian pattern.
That is knitting, here is a version of crochet: http://www.lookatwhatimade.net/crafts/yarn/crochet/free-crochet-patterns/ten-stitch-blanket-crochet-pattern/#%&!@*ch-blanket-crochet-pattern/
This would also make a lovely area rug!
I have enough yarn to make this in a spread!
Love!
