Hi Joey, a total of 52 rows. If you count the ridges made by the purl row, you should have 26 of those ridges.

Hi, Isela–
I just bought your Loom Knitting Afghans book, and I’m trying to make the Chevron Throw, but I’m finding the directions confusing, especially when it seems there should be an empty peg, and there isn’t, how to proceed.
Do you have a video about the chevron stitch? I’ve always found your videos very helpful.
Thanks!

One item I have searched for in vain

Something like the Bandana Cowl by Purl Soho would be great,
