If you're looking for a chunky knit blanket tutorial, check out our flat-knitting technique - It's the easiest way to make a super chunky knit blanket!
This tutorial will show you how to flat knit, it's easier and faster than the arm knit blankets. Plus, with the flat knit technique you can put your throw down, walk away, and come back later to finish. It's also not as taxing on your shoulders as the arm knit versions.
You can finish an entire blanket in under two hours, a bed throw in an hour, or a lap throw in about 45 minutes.
The yarn I'm working with in this video has been hand dyed and felted for durability, it's not raw roving, which will fall apart and shed everywhere if you knit a blanket with it.

Most people can't explain things in a way I can comprehend but you are really good at explaining things! I will probably make this for my teacher.
Thanks Galaxy Owl!
Love this easy steps. I have knitted for 40 years I am loving this😊
started mine today..im using two strands one grey one dusky pink. each 5mm thick . so 10mm with both , its sooooo easy i love it . thank you for sharing 💜
This looks SO much easier than the "traditional" way!! Thank you! Thank you!! As a Mommy to 3, I really need to be able to walk away from a project at any given moment. :)
Thank you so much! You are an excellent teacher!! You took just enough time on each step to make sure we could see and understand what you were doing. Great job! Thanks again.
Best video....I completed a gorgeous white chunky blanket! Everyone who sees it wants one now!
Thank you Deanie!
This is great! No huge knitting needles needed, no tennis elbow pain and you don’t lose your stitches!
This tutorial was PERFECT! I have never knitted ANYTHING- But wanted to handcraft something special for my 73yr old mom- a giant 'hug' so to speak! I DID IT! Not only was this the first thing I have ever attempted to knit, I am Left-handed, and was easily able to switch hands and hand knit a chunky lap blanket-shawl for my mother!! This young woman is AMAZING! It took me only an hour from start to finish! Thank you so much! Would HIGHLY recommend this tutorial!!!! Everyone should try!
This was by FAR the BEST informative video I've seen on hand knitting! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. I was ready to give up after watching like 6 other videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I'm 12. I used thinner yarn and made a baby blanket using this technique. Thank you!
Perfect, Easy to understand directions! If I think I'll pull up this video when I start just to make sure I'm doing correct and then again at the end where you cast off just to make sure I'm doing correct! Thanks for the information on which "yarn" not to purchase bc that had me concerned and also had never heard of the needle and felter matt I think you called it. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! The info on How many pounds is also something I needed! You're amazing and so fun to watch!
Thank you for explaining it so much easier than others I have seen!😊
Best tutorial! I like the way you keep repeating what you're doing. It helps to get it in my head to say it as I go. I have not started one, but this inspires me to do so!
thank you so much Jill!
I am happy I found your Video. I wanted to make this blanket for my daughter but did not know how I was going to use those giant needles. Love this Video and the beautiful blanket you made.
This is wonderful!! I bought a HUGE roll of yarn (?) from Wish because I figured it would be best to start with something cheap. But now I feel confident enough to buy real yarn and make a blanket. Thank you!!
You are welcome! Hope you have fun!
This way of knitting blew my mind and it works amazing
kissingkatilyn = it's actually crocheting!
You make it look simple compared to other videos I’ve seen
Thanks Kylie!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video to show us how to do this. I think it is pretty neat. I knit and had seen arm knitting in the past. Never thought of trying it. You had made this seem fun and simple. Your instructions were easy and step by step. You had been clear on the type of yarn to purchase and the tools to have. I will be giving this a try and following your channel. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much Lisa!
Omg, where has this been all my life. TYFS
I use to make these with my Grandmother when I was a little girl. Except we pulled the knits tighter We used old sheets and unused sewing material. If we had a lot of old towels and other materials we would make rag rugs either by knits or weaving...depends on look or shape we wanted
that sounds really cool. my grandma taught me to crochet but I'm rusty. i wish i could make one like you are describing. what she is making is way too expensive and i don't want the cheap kind. plus it sounds like yours had more character! do you still have any?
beautiful memories I used to do patchwork with mine we did other things as well I'll never forget her❤ and those times
That's amazing. Beautifully done. You make it look a lot easier than making rag rug making. I believe I could actually make my own blanket thank you..
You are a great teacher!
I like how you ended it with the felting tool. Very nice!
So simply explained! Beautiful work!
Great video! Looks much easier than arm knitting...although I'm afraid that my back would tire from leaning over a table that long. Thanks for explaining the difference between raw roving and felted yarns. Beautiful blankets!
Thanks Valerie, you can always sit down and do it as well : )
I love the tutorial, pleased to know that there is an alternative to having the product on your lap. Thanks for sharing.
i guess it's pretty off topic but do anyone know a good website to watch newly released series online ?
@Eliseo Randy lately I have been using flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
@Ira Memphis Yup, have been using flixzone for since april myself =)
@Ira Memphis thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it!!
@Eliseo Randy glad I could help =)
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen!
Wow what a wonderful video. I was going to arm knit but I think I will try this instead. Thank you for sharing your secret.
I love how you explain this so well, most people can explain it very well. Well done, looking forward to more videos!
-Nina
I just made it from this video! Thank you for making it so easy! I have to make like 9.... so this made it so fun!
Tia T, what kind of yarn did you use & where did you purchase it? I'm looking for more affordable yarn. Thanks
Wow!!! You are amazing at this!! I have some of this big chunky yarn/wool I've been hanging on to for a while, just procrastinating I guess. I was going to arm knit a blanket, but I'm so happy I stumbled on your tutorial!! This is the way I'm gonna go!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
I did this and my blanket came out beautifully. Thanks for the tutorial. ❤️
Great Heather,
so glad you enjoyed it!
Heather Hare цену можно этой пряжи ?
I just made this last night but I've run out of yarn so it doesn't look that good but for a first time project I think it looks pretty good. I can't wait to make another one.
i just made one of these yesterday and your video was an integral part of this!! Thank you so much for the video!
This is so soothing to watch!
Absolutely gorgeous blanket and yarn colours! Thank you for sharing your skills.
Much easier than trying to do it on your arms!
Awesome video and clear instructions! I will definitely try making my own! Thank you for this video!
This an amazing tutorial! I have been looking at hand knitting but all the tutorials are so confusing! Thanks!
Thanks Abby! Glad you enjoyed it!
AMAZING tutorial, I can follow your directions. Thank you.
@@broadwickfibers938 This video is great, I spent a couple hours trying to follow other videos, but this one was understandable and simple. I knocked a good size one out in 3-4 hours.
Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial! I made a medium-sized throw in two evenings. Again, thank you! Very well explained!
This looks wonderful, can't wait to try it. on another video the lady said you could get acrylic yarn at Michaels art and craft not wool but acrylic with same look less money good to try out before you go on to merino wool.
HI Teresa,
I'm not sure, but I don't thing theirs would be felted.
Can you just imagine doing this with 6 cats at home ? 😀 Anyway thank you so much for this video, I'm gonna try it one of these days (yes even with my 6 fluffy friends ^^) and tell you how it went ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
I love it you simplify the concept
Omg! It’s easier than crocheting with a needle it really is!
wow...so much easier than arm knitting. THANKS 😄
Love this and especially the explanation of the materials. I need to find a pattern for sweaters and jacket wrap. Love this chunky yarn and so glad I found your company!!
Thank you Marci!
I had trouble with skipping the first loop on each row, this is my 1st time hand knitting, but that instruction, threw me for a loop
I like this new craft...brilliant....i must find out where to get the yarn....don't know how many times i've thought..if only there was a way to make a yarn blanket in a short time"...BRILLIANT
Thanks Marian, you can buy the yarn here!

I actually did it with merino wool (the non-felted yarn, mulesing free...) last week, was my first and it worked quite awesomely... (if that is a word :p ) anyhow, the dog nest I made isn't doing as well, they love to pull it, but the blanket is just awesome..
It was a bigger one and I actually spent 3 hours making it :D
I did it with the sheep wool that by the way were so much cheaper. And as a beginner it didn't break
Hi Mariana, Glad it didn't break on you! It will be a lot more prone to shedding and pilling though, so I would try to keep it in a low traffic area if at all possible : )
I heard every word and it was awesome!! Thanks so much!
I heard every word, too. Why these internet "trolls" would want to leave negative comments for someone who is so generous in sharing....I do not know. Get a life, you envious trolls!
Very beautiful wool blanket.
LOVE this! I'm scared to make the small investment, have NO idea what I'm doing and waste all that money 🤣
Thanks Tara! Its surprisingly easy and because the yarn is felted, its durable, so you wouldn't ruin it! I'm available to answer any questions you might have as well! You can purchase the yarn on Etsy from the shop Broadwick Fibers
Tara I got the raw wool to make one (I recommend you buy this felted stuff though) I have never knitted before and this process is super easy! And if you mess up the first time like I did, theres no worries because you can always unravel it and try again!
Try the by hand method with small regular yarn. I do that in the store with a strand to see how it looks done up. Yes, it is not as finished, but it would let you see how you do. It is actually quite simple. I stopped knitting because of using 2 needles and I favor crochet because of being able to hold the weighted item. Her first long chain is similar to what crochet is. You can do it. There is chunky yarn you can practice on for confidence.
Broadwick Fibers.com
you can get the yarn from Micheal's...use a 40%-50% off coupon and it will under $30
this was so useful! Can't wait to buy a some coral pink yarn and make some
Thanks for sharing to us, I would love to make it next time. Love it!
Thank you for this great video!!! I loved it and I'm going to be purchasing the Merino wool yard to attempt this project.. thanks!!!
Hi Maggie, You are so welcome!
You can purchase here! Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you.

Thanks,
Camille
Would love to try this! I've never knitted before but I feel I might be able to do it. Xx
Now l knew how to make it
beautiful❣
Great for gifts i really enjoy this idea, well done
This was amazing! Can you please do more complex patterns? Or patterns that make less holes in the blankets?
Hi Margaret!
Yes, I am working on a few more videos now and will have them out in a week or two!
Thanks for this tutorial, I'm hand knitting a pink one. I've also subscribed:-)
Wow..awesome...i made a California king in two hours!! Thanks
How much yarn did you end up using for the Cali-king?
Gail c how much wool did it take to make that?
How much money was the wool to make that?
How many yards of yarn did you need?
How much yarn did it take?
I received it and thank you I will be in contact with you soon and I hope I can come down to your studio and see how you can help me make these kind of products and so I can learn more about your work
I am making the blanket at this minute! It is so easy. I am succeeding. Tried under another person yesterday who leaves a loop at the end and you go back and pick it up when you pass through next time. That somehow confused me. Both my sister & I were trying and got frustrated. So I turned to your way today and was sooooo glad you use every loop & don't leave any behind for "next time". Already I have gotten so far that I buried a knot & joined 2 skeins together! Ahhhh! Progress! You might be my new favorite and yes I did SUBSCRIBE!
How did you join them?! I'm stuck! I'm using Red Heart Irresistible acrylic/wool blend and ALL the videos I see join wool which isn't the same process as dealing with a blend :)
To join the 2 skeins together you first have to have a knot near the end on each strand from the 2 skeins you are joining. That keeps the yarn/wool from unraveling. You then tie them together which makes a big knot since you are using such fat yarn. When I am making that big knot I leave enough tail on each strand so I have enough yarn/wool to weave in easily.
I DID IT! I made one!!!! Thank you for this video
Love this and the music is so cool...
Cannot figure out which yarn was used from your Etsy shop. Plus I need to know the yardage of yarn
for this size blanket as I want to make a larger one and cannot determine how much to buy without knowing the yardage for this size. Thanks.
They look amazing I'm going to try to do one
Very good tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you Valerie!
Greeting, I'm enjoying all the CHUNKY BLANKETS I have seen so far. I love yarn where can I find the CHUNKY YARN and needle. I would love to try with my hands as well.
love these
This video is amazing. Made a baby blanket and it's super soft and gorgeous. Thank you💖💖💖
thank you sooo much this was really helpful.
Great tutorial!
So...satisfying
Can you offer any advice about how dimensions/stiches for a king sized blanket? Also, I'm a total beginner - any advice if you need to switch to a new ball of yarn? Thanks so much! This video makes this look doable and your explanations are so much clearer than others i've seen :) I cannot wait to try this - with the confidence you video has given me that i can actually do this. Thank you!
Thank you Deborah!
If you need to switch to a new ball of yarn, I would use a felter and mat like the one in my video. For a king size throw, for the end of the bed, you will want to cast on 32 stitches.
Thank you so much for your response :) So excited to make this!
I'll go check out your Etsy shop as well!
Thanks, I used this method to make a winter scarf from super chunky wool, turned out really well!
Love it!!! Im looking for the Dark Teal Color behind you on the Right in your Thumbnail. Idk what Color that would be listed on your Etsy Site. I actually have Cerulean in my Home... but that'll Work. I really like the Hand Dye'd Style. Thanks
Hi there! That color is called spruce.
Thanks!
Camille
Awesome video! How many loops would I need to make a baby size blanket?
Only 14 loops for a 25 x 25 in blanket
This was excellent
I love your voice. Some people aren't happy unless they are negative
Great job
I am a beginner so I appreciate your tips, thank you. Does hand felting to make the roving (spelling) strong over time?
This is awesome...seems so easy to make! Would I need one skein to make the 30x40 throw?
You would need 2kgs to make this size
you can purchase here:

Thanks,
Camille
How much yarn do I buy for a 78X80 king size bed blanket with a 18" drop. At the prices I see I am wondering if it will cost a fortune. I love it though. Tutorial amazing
Hi Niki, If you want the blanket blanket to cover the whole bed, you will need 13kgs. Send me a message on Etsy and we can chat prices! I also think a 100 x 40 inch throw works really well to lay across the end of a king size bed and you only need 5kgs for that size
Thank you so much!! Much easier than the arm method!! I bought some cheaper yarn from Michael's and it sheds all over my grandchildren's clothes and the floor. Do you know another cheaper version of your Merino yarn? Thank You.
Hi Dorthy, unfortunately I don't The trouble is that the felting process is time intensive so the yarn is expensive
Thank you so much!! :)
Hi Dorthy, I had same problem and a clerk suggested the Bernat Blanket Big yarn....I have made a few blankets using it same results super soft and machine washable...Only thing they don't keep many in-stock in the store
I really want a chunky knit blanket but they're pretty expensive on etsy. Seems worth giving it a shot to try on my own since it looks fairly easy and if all else fails then maybe I'll buy one. Thanks!
Definitely! Let me know if you have any questions while you are knitting : )
Love this video, lots of good information. Please please!!!! I've got to know the name of that song!!!!!
I am planning on making some chunky blankets a Christmas gifts for family this year and the color selection is outstanding. I have a quick question. Can you add colors together or is it best to be solid. It's so hard to choose just one color from y'alls website. Thanks.
Hi Candace,
No, I love the colors added together! A contrasting border is beautiful and stripes are super fun!
You just have to join the ends, so would recommend purchasing a clover needle felter and mat!
Broadwick Fibers thank you so much for the information. Definitely will look into that.
I tried this it is awesome
yass
Can this pattern be adjusted to make a larger blanket? How and how much yarn is needed? I can't wait to try this! I hope to get an answer quickly....I need to make one by Christmas. Thank you!
Hi Olga, sorry for the delay, I am not accepting pre-christmas orders anymore, but for 40 x 65 inch blanket, you would need 3.5kgs thanks,Camille
Where do you get the yarn from?

Is there a guide to how much material you would need for certain size blanket?
Hi , great video, really interesting your yarn looks really nice. I was hoping to make a rug around 160cm x 160cm. Would you be able to tell me which would be the best yarn to use and roughly how much yarn I would need. Thank you :)
Thanks Michael, you will need 5kgs for that size, this would be the yarn to purchase:
www.etsy.com/listing/503044329/chunky-yarn-dyed-merino-wool-roving?ref=shop_home_active_6
Oh that's the most butibarrr banky ever naturnati
I would so love a big size one but I bet it would cost a lot
How much was the wool for this size please ?
Hi there, the wool for this size is $160.00 it requires 4lbs or approx 2kgs (4.4 lbs)
Love that technique and the blanket. Thank you for that tutorial. I would love to make two blankets. The first one I would like to have a bit of cable design...is that possible? And can I dye my own...thinking I would like an ombré effect...not sure how that comes through on a large loop blanket.
Hi Laura, you are welcome! Yes, you can absolutley do a cable design. Let me know if you want me to send you through a pattern with your order!
Camille
Not sure if first post went thru, I’ve used chennile yarn which is very soft. My sides look awful loose and I’m afraid it will come apart, any suggestions
Sandy
I love this. Do you sell any synthetic super chunky yarn? I don't use animal products. Thanks!
Hi there, not at the moment, but I'm looking into it!
