Hi guys, I hope you enjoy this stitch ! One tip- as I was working on my blanket, I noticed making the larger foundation chain wasn’t as necessary as the classic finger knitting stitch. It was looking too gappy . I started over and made my chains about 2 inches long instead of 2.5 -3 . My point is, just play with this and see what is looking best for you and gives you the straight edge you want. You might need to do a few rows to see like I did and then start back over 💕
So from what I understand from your tip you are saying to only make two inch loops instead of two-and-a-half to three inch Loops all the way through the blanket?
You are an amazing teacher - so inspiring! I’ve finished my first finger stitch blanket and I LOVE it. Can’t wait to try this linen stitch - I’ve just bought more yarn. 👋 hello and thank you 🙏🏼 from Australia 🇦🇺
I love your videos. I've learned the knit stitch from you, made an afghan. Now I'm learning the wrap stitch from you to do my next afghan. Thank you! Jamie
You do such a lovely job showing how to do finger knitting, thank you. I was wondering if you could show how to add a stripe of color around the edges of a blanket? I’m also seeing little corner tassels are being added to blankets these days but I’m not sure how to attach them. Thank you for your videos!
Oh interesting, I am not sure what you mean about adding a stripe of color around the edges but probably the easiest way to do that would be to fasten on at a corner and just work your way around . The knit stitch would be going in a different direction from from the body of the blanket. But that would be the easiest way to do it. Tassels are pretty easy . Here is a video where I share how to add tassels to a scarf but you could do the same thing for your blanket . 🧶💕 How To Crochet an Easy Triangle Scarf ruclips.net/video/kgUqkzVcol8/видео.html Thank you !
Hello Roz just finished watching your video and I love it . I have some chunky yarn like what you just used and now I know how to use it . I can't wait to get started . Thanks very much for the lesson . Have a good night .
Thank you so much for this video! You are a great teacher and explain everything very well. This is the second blanket that I have made and once again I found myself on your videos. You're so hopeful :)
I just love this stitch! So relaxing to watch. New yarn and I’m gonna be making this ASAP! Thank you for presenting these wonderful instructional hand knitting videos! I am a relatively new subscriber to your channel and look forward to many more like these. Take care and God bless.🙏🥰❤️
Just finished watching your video and I thought it was so helpful and informative. You did a wonderful job in showing and explaining the process. Definitely going to attempt while watching your video for constant reference. Best tutorial on this method. Made a subscriber out of me. TYFS.
Wow, this looks like something I could try. Thanks for sharing! If I wanted to make an oversized throw blanket for two....like a 5ft by 7ft for example....do you have an idea of how many skeins I should buy?
I don’t know off hand but you can calculate a guesstimate with a formula I share in the most frequently asked questions video that I mentioned in the beginning of this one. You’ll find a link to it at the end of the video and in the description box below the video I hope you give it a try!
Hi I have a question about a blanket I'm hand knitting and can't find a video of yours that has the answer..... How do I add another ball of yarn to my blanket, not to continue in length (I know how to do that) but to add to the side of it? It's not wide enough. Do I just pick up an end loop for every row? Sorry, I hope I'm explaining it clearly 🤦🏼♀️ hope you can help!
That’s going to be tricky . I haven’t personally tried it so I’m not sure the best way to guide you on that. Your idea is a good one. So maybe create a new chain row at the base of the original blanket and then connect to the loop on the side of the blanket to start each row. The seam will probably be noticeable, though, so it might be best just to start over with the width that you want. I know you don’t want to hear that. 😆 I’ve been there, I know that sucks. Keep me posted and I’ll see if I can figure it out too. If I do I’ll do a video about it 👍🏻💕
@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you for replying, I've never done any knitting before and once I watched your videos I ordered some super chunky yarn, followed your steps and the loops just very easily turned into a small blanket 😀 I will try and connect a chain at the bottom and then loop each row as I go. If I have no success then my little dog will have a snug blanket & I will start again. For my first try I am so pleased with myself 🙈😊
Not sure- I would recommend that you grab a tape measure and then chain to the width you want it to be. That’s how I always start mine. I don’t focus on the chain count because it varies from person to person depending on the tension they use.
Sure , you could use this stitch for the tree skirt. If you want the ends to match then you would have to change the initial count of your chain count to an odd number. But if you aren’t concerned with that , then just work the skirt with the chain 16 as shown in the video 🧶💕
I have looked through your vids and could not find any thing how could you add another ball of yarn to your yarn if you run out AND could I use moon wave yarn
Can you tell me if there is a way to add width once I have completed the Blanket? I added a few more loops in the 1st row but I am not satisfied with the completed width.
No, this won’t help you learn how to crochet because finger knitting is more in line with knitting than crochet. The only similarity with crochet is that we are making a “chain” instead of “casting on” to start the blanket ( chaining is a crochet technique and casting on is a knitting technique). The short answer , finger knitting helps you learn how to knit without needles. 💕🧶
A multiple isn’t necessary. Chain to the width you want your blanket to be making sure it is an odd number. In the video I also mentioned it took me 7 chains to reach one foot (12 inches) So that means you would approx need 21 chains to reach your 20” if you’re using the same yarn. Be sure to test this for yourself especially if you are using a different brand 👍🏻
You are the best I just saw your channel and I got addicted I need to try it first I need the right yarn I am a crochet person and seeing this I am in love. All I need is the right yarn and I will sell these and tell them to subscribe to you.🫠😉😊😘❤🩷💛🫰

@@janareidy4195 I’m saying make each loop about 2.5 inches high since you’ll be working yarn in front and back of the loops. 💕
Does using a huge crochet hook have any benefits?

Is a linen stitch blanket sturdy enough to wash in the washing machine?
You bet! Just use a gentle cycle 👍🏻🧶💕
I just found your channel and I am going to make and sell blankets
How many stitches should you do for an extra large blanket like a throw blanket?
Not sure- I would recommend that you grab a tape measure and then chain to the width you want it to be. That’s how I always start mine. I don’t focus on the chain count because it varies from person to person depending on the tension they use.
Can this stitch be used for the Christmas tree skirt?
If so, how would you adjust?
Sure , you could use this stitch for the tree skirt. If you want the ends to match then you would have to change the initial count of your chain count to an odd number. But if you aren’t concerned with that , then just work the skirt with the chain 16 as shown in the video 🧶💕

I have looked through your vids and could not find any thing how could you add another ball of yarn to your yarn if you run out AND could I use moon wave yarn
I answered your question on the “what you need to know video “. 🧶💕
Can you tell me if there is a way to add width once I have completed the Blanket? I added a few more loops in the 1st row but I am not satisfied with the completed width.
I haven’t figured out a way yet . Nothing I’ve tried looks seamless. 😕
I have a question for you. Does learning to finger knit help you learn how to crochet with hooks?
No, this won’t help you learn how to crochet because finger knitting is more in line with knitting than crochet.
The only similarity with crochet is that we are making a “chain” instead of “casting on” to start the blanket
( chaining is a crochet technique and casting on is a knitting technique).
The short answer , finger knitting helps you learn how to knit without needles.

How many multiple stitches are there? I want to make a 20x24 baby blanket
A multiple isn’t necessary. Chain to the width you want your blanket to be making sure it is an odd number.
In the video I also mentioned it took me 7 chains to reach one foot (12 inches)
So that means you would approx need 21 chains to reach your 20” if you’re using the same yarn. Be sure to test this for yourself especially if you are using a different brand 👍🏻
@@PlayHookywithMe thank you this is perfect
Where do i buy the wool from
This is Bernat blanket yarn. You can get it at many locations if you are on the US. If not, search for yarn that requires a 25 mm hook
Can I use moon wave yarn
Yes
