- Let’s make a chunky blanket together. This code will show you how to start, how to change colors of yarn and how to completely finish your blanket.
I've never seen this way of changing colors, but this works great (would recommend)
Thank you soooo much for your tutorial! I never would have thought about burning the end to connect them ! I can’t wait to see what else you have 😊
You are so welcome!
Ditto to the others! I never would have thought about burning the end after weaving through. So smart!
Im soo glad I’ve stumbled upon your channel!! Very detailed without the distracting music. Can’t wait to start my blanket 🙌🏾
Thank You!!
Thank you for showing the burning of the ends to attach together! I have seen another video of someone going for a torch, but edited out what they did with it. I love that trick instead of tying the ends together. No bulky knot to try to hide!
Me too on the burning.....WAY NICER!
It worked 🤩 I ran out of yarn…. But this was such a helpful video!!! I have never knitted anything and it was so exciting to see a blanket being created right before my very eyes…. With my own two hands!!!🙌
I’m so glad you enjoyed it and was able to create your own.
Nervous but here I go continuing with more yarn- ❤ perfect way to end this rainy weekend
😢really struggling the edges as in the sides all look so wonky and I really struggled with going back and forth feeding the loops to the top but then the bottom 😅
I learned more from your video than anyone else’s. Thank you. My throw is pretty but my ending end is not as wide as my beginning end. What did I do? Inconsistent loops?
I'm also making one and I'm running out of yarn 😅
Thank you Thank you Thank you sooo much!! I looked through A LOT of videos and then I found yours🎉and you made it slow and easy! This is a $50 blanket that don’t “look” like a $50 blanket!…lol…want to do with all the scrap pieces I’m going to have😅
You shouldn't have much scraps at all. Mine were for cutting the ends after I tied them off but now in this video I learned something WAY COOLER like burning the ends! I'm still trying to find out the size of this blanket or how many skeins she used. Anyone know? LOL
You did the best instruction how to make this blanket and I’ve watched several videos. Thanks so very much for sharing! 💝
Thank you
I use the burn technique as well, but I love that you really slowed it down to show how to end the blanket. I have to go redo mine now! 💕
You are so welcome!
Love the colors of this blanket, I am making my very first chunky blanket and you explained it so well, thanks so much.
You are so welcome!
Amazing Tutorial!!! Thank You so much for showing & explaining it very clearly that I feel I can do this and make my own blanket! You are wonderful for showing & sharing this! Blessings
You are so welcome! Thank you for your kindness.
YASSSS! I'm so thankful to you! you have blown my mind, I'm going to do this pattern. Just excellent many thanks to you.
This was a very helpful tutorial! I can’t wait to try switching colors!
Thank you for the lesson. That is so stunning and bet soooo soft too. 😊
Have been looking for a video start to finish ... looks amazing can't wait to make one😊
Thank you!
This is beautiful! You have shown me so many tips on how to make my blanket professional grade quality! Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Love your video abd instructions yuo explain everything❤
Thank you very much for your tutorial! I am pretty sure I have the exact same yarn (in white). I've been trying to knit it into a blanket for quite a while but it's been challenging using traditional needles. I'm excited to try this out! Very easy to follow and I appreciate all of the little tips and tricks from beginning to finish
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
I kove this, i didnt know there was a sucha thing a finger crocheting, but I love it and it's good exercise for arthritic fingers too.
You mean knitting. I thought that initially as well, but the stitches are knit and pearl.☺️
How about hot glue gun? It does well with fabric.
Love this so pretty thank I will be trying this
Thanks. Great tutorial
Girl, you did an amazing job 👍👍👍
Thank you!! 😊
Very pretty and great teaching
Thank you! 😊
This helped me so much after years of not making one😊
I'm so glad!
That Is Beautiful
Beautiful blanket 😊
Thank you! 😊
It turned out so beautiful. It makes me really want to try one but so afraid I won’t be able to do it but I love watching the videos. Maybe someday I’ll try.
You can do it.
YES, TRY! You will LOVE IT! I was going to take a class but then watched a few videos and made 2 huge blankets already! Still learning too so this video was new for me and I learned even more! The best part about these (cuz I screwed up at first, threw it in a bag) and started with a new skein after watching another video! LOL That's the great part, when I got down to the end, I took that one out of the bag and just undid it! They are just loops and come undone really easy if you make a mistake while going along! I LOVE THAT! LOL GO FOR IT & Have some FUN! :) I buy my yarn at Hobby Lobby because it's 30% off every other week which makes them about $5.60 a Skein. EASY PEASY! Please GO FOR IT!!
Brilliant!
Love this! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the lesson. It's that time of year to start making blankets again. It's sure cold here.
Here too!!
Looks so easy. I just hope I can do it..
You can do it! Let me know if I can answer any questions. If your near my location pop by and I will answer any questions you may have.
I love it
I must try this Thank you for sharing
Please do!
Great video! Thank you
Thanks 😊
I never thought about burning the yard together. Thanks! I use the pattern to alternate looping up through the bottom and then down on the next stitch. It keeps the blanket from curling.
Interesting I will have to give that a try
Thanks 4 the video
You bet
Genius!
Thanks didn't know how to change color I actually sew it together
Very Nice!
Thanks!
You are amazing I’m starting this project this weekend! Please make a long cardigan next
Ohhhh, that would be so cool. I'm just trying for the 1st time so I'm not sure I'm there yet but I want to be wearing it!!
Thank you- I’m not one to be able to make clothing. I wish I could this is about my limit.
Hi. Thanks..i have some obvious mistakes but for my 1st time I'm super excited...
In think I didn't do an extra loop on the end on one side so I'm just gonna keep going
You got this! Check out my video on how to fix your chunky blanket. It’s a very forgiving blanket.
Thank you for this great video! I've watched about 3 or 4 and then came upon yours today and I really liked it! Easy to follow but always learn something new! I've made 2 blankets already and used 8 skeins but I've been wanting to do smaller so your video popped up just in time! Not to mention burning the yarn at the ends instead of knots? I LOVE IT!! Great Job and I LOVE THAT YELLOW! What is your website again? I don't know that I've seen that yellow before. Actually the 3 colors together are gorgeous and fit perfectly in my home color scheme! LOL Thank you! :)
Our website is www.thehiveworkshops.com
I’m currently out of the yellow sorry
I wondered if using a lighter would work. Thanks for showing me how to do it. What brand of yarn did you use? It looks so vibrant and soft
Awesome video!!! I'm doing my very first blanket. Loved how you showed from start to finish. How do you know how many stitches across and how many rows for a standard blanket or baby blanket?
I start with 32 stitches across on my first row. i use 6 balls of yarn that are approx. 26yards in length. I honestly do not count past the first row. i will putting another video up about dropping a loop. Be sure to kinda tug at your blanket otherwise I’ve seen start getting tight that it starts to be round - don’t want to make a tree skirt.
Thank you so much! I’ve been saying as soon as I finish crocheting the Afghan I’m working on I might try one of these. You have convinced me! I’m so excited to make one.
I’ve never used this kind of yarn. Where do you think has the best yarn like this as far as quality and price?
I now carry my own yarn I’m low in stock - however Joann’s or Hobby Lobby - our Michael’s doesn’t have much variety so I don’t buy yarn there.
@@thehivetopeka you carry your own? Oh wow that’s great! I’ll definitely remember this. I’ve noticed Hobby Lobby has a better selection. I haven’t looked at Joann’s but I will check it out. Our Michaels doesn’t have a nice selection either.
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me! I really appreciate it!
I get mine at Hobby Lobby because every other week (FACTS) it's 30% off & my blankets have all been 8 Skeins. Have FUN! :)
@@juliestayrook6522 I noticed that! I bought 6 to make the one I’m working on but it’s bit not enough. I’m going to have to get a few more too.
@@melaniegee Just curious how big are you making your blanket or should I ask, how many loops did you start with? My first one I did 35 loops and the second I made 15 loops. Both using 8 skeins but they are BIG! So big that I am going to make a couple lap blankets & I think 6 will work for that. I watched another video and she used 15 loops to make a lap blanket. I've also read where someone used 18 loops so IDK but I will probably do 18. We'll see! I'd love to see yours or know how many loops you used. My first one is a beautiful blue and the second one is yellowish gold which my house is decorated kind of beachy themed! LOL LMK how it goes! I love looking at pictures too! Can hardly wait for Monday so I can get some yarn on sale. I have 2 birthdays in March that I want to make one for each! :) Take care and Happy Saturday from Northern California! :)
I just wanted to say thank you so much for helping me make my blankets. Your video was so helpful and easy to follow! My daughters love their blankets! The only thing I have to comment on is I didn't like burning the yarn, I may have done it wrong but it felt very hard. Is there any other way to connect the yarn?
I would agree when burning it does leave that hard spot but I feel it gets lost in your loops over time.
Well done, i like how you explained everything slowly. My question is where are you getting the yarn? I love the yellow, i need it.
Thank You’ I sell the yarn on my website at www.thehiveworkshops.com
Ty for making a video thats ez to understand and the burn🔥 tip is awesome
Im going to try to make an American flag🇺🇲 my plan after watching this is alternate🟥⬜ red/white 2/3 the way then switch to✨ sparkle 🌌navy blue halfway through the row switch🪢 back to red/white till middle then back to blue ect. hopefully ending up with a🟦 blue square edge🇱🇷 i figure i could then 🪡tie tassel's into the blue & trim to look like⭐ stars if i wrap tassel correct it should be fluffy on one side 🇱🇷but still able to see a pattern on reverse 🇲🇾& because the blue is🌌 sparkly i think it will look like i was attempting to create a flag🤞🇺🇸 I'll be using the same type of fuzzy yarn as you shown
It would be very helpful to know how many skans you used i was thinking 3 red 3 white 1 sp.navy blue and 1 small silver/white regular yarn for tassels and maybe tie off a border depending on how it finishes and if i need to hide any boo boo's LoL i find the bigger the mistake(s) the more tassel's are required! Giggles
I'm making blanket for my best friend,
🪂Air Force 🪖 vet🎖️ returning home🎗️ for the 👏👍🏻2nd time.🥂🥹
I'm excited so any suggestions/tips would be great! Thanks!
And again great job on video appreciate you just keeping it real for normal people 👍🏻
That sounds awesome! Good luck with that and if you run into questions let me know. For tassels you will want to use different yarn to get a good tassel look. Would you like a video on making a tassel?
That yarn is beautiful . Where did you get it from?
I sell it and bring it into my store
www.thehiveworkshops.com I’m out of a few colors but expect a shipment within the next 60days
Is there a way I can change the colors without using fire?
Is this safe to put in the washing machine or hand wash only? Loved the video. Never done a project like this before but want to try!
Yes I have washed my blankets many times and have not had any trouble. Thank you!!
What kind of chunky yarn are you using? And how many skeins did it take you for that blanket? I’m unable to get out to the local craft store so I have to rely on online shopping and it’s sometimes difficult to gauge size by pictures.
I sell it at on my website at www.thehiveworkshops.com however i am out of some colors and a new shipment will be in about 60 days
I came across your video and am intrigued. I know there are different sizes of chunky yarn. What is the size that you use?
The largest -
As far as size to make the loops.
Like 1st row maybe 3 finger size then the rest maybe 2 fingers? Or do you do all same size?
All the same
Hi I'm just starting out and was curious of the price range you sell your blankets for.
My blankets start at $100
I love this and would like to try!!! One ball of yarn is $13. For a baby blanket I was told I’d need 5-7 balls. That seems awfully expensive. Am I figuring this correctly?
I seek the yarn for $8 on my website. My colors are getting low and waiting to restock you will about 6 balls for 40x40.
www.thehiveworkshops.com
*sell not seek🤦♀️😂
Wait till they go on sale (EVERY OTHER WEEK) at Hobby Lobby for 30% off of $7.99. So I figure it's about $5 a skein. Not so bad since I started my blankets off with 8 skeins. I'm going to drop down to 6. Their yarn is 28 yards for that price also. $7.99 is their regular price at Hobby Lobby! Good Luck & have FUN! :0
How many things of yarn will we need to make a twin size blanket? Thank you
Everybody’s blanket can be different by the size of loops. The bigger the loops the bigger the blanket but also the “holey” it is- the smaller the loops the smaller the blanket. I use 8 balls mine is 30 yard in each ball. Find a happy medium loop and my guesstimate would be 12
How many balls it took to make this blanket ?? ❤
How many balls did you use?
This was 6
If making a blanket using the 32 loops as you did & using ONE color, about how many balls of yarn would I need? I’m just trying to get an idea of how much to purchase. Thank You so much
I use 6 balls and that gives me about a 40”x40” blanket.
@@thehivetopeka Thank You so much!
What yarn do you use, & where do you get it?
I use the large chenille. I sell the yarn but you may find it at your local craft or fabric store and walmart
How do you repair a blanket that came not connected?
You can reference my video on fixing
But you can take a lighter light one end on fire and then connect the ends they will melt together
I made a double bed size blanket I need to know how to wash it.. I'm afraid to put it in the washer.
I’ve never had trouble washing mine
Most are 100% polyester & i've heard everyone say they wash them in the washer...I'd probably do delicate and not a HOT dry. However, a double size is big! You may want to take it to the laundromat & use one of those HUGE machines. Safer that way! Good Luck & keep us posted! :)
Um I don’t think I feel comfortable using a flame to connect the ends, is there another way?
Yes! Just tie a knot when adding a new skein & pull as tight as you can. I have YET to break it like she did by pulling it but then I clip off the excess from the knot on both sides as close as I can and pull any loose freys, then keep going. However, for me, I am going to start burning & melting mine together because it will be a cleaner look or I may not be able to tell. Who knows but it's easier to me! HAVE FUN! :)
Yes just tie a tight knot like the fellow blanket make mentioned. Thank you
What kind of yarn is it and brand does it matter what brand it is
No it doesn’t matter what brand
What yarn did you use?
Chunky yarn from hobby lobby
It is the thick chenille yarn and yes you can get it at hobby lobby or myself once I get it uploaded to my website
I just made one and got my yarn at walmart
How many loops. And skeins for baby blankets
I’d probably try 20 loops across and 3 balls maybe check size after 2 - I need to make one so I will let you know.
Where is the best place to buy the chunky yarn. Need lots of colors 😊
Us however we are running low you might try Hobby Lobby
How many skeins does it take to make blanket?
I use 8
How many of each skein did you use?
6 total
What size chunky yarn did you use? Does it matter?
I haven’t seen different sizes
What happened to the pink ivory & grey how to make a blanket with 3 colors video! I watched it yesterday thought I saved but now its blue & yellow blanket and doesn't have the info tips I need & you are the only person who does it without cutting keep yarn on sides I need to know which goes under Ugh
Been searching for hours 5 rows into red/white now ready to add blue cant bcuz cant find directions 😭😫⁉️🤷♀️❔😭
That’s the same video the thumbnail got mixed up when posting and didn’t get changed and decided once out there not to change it. The thumbnail is the pink but the video is done with blue and yellow same video. Sorry for the confusion
My chunky blanket is going round, can you please explain
Are your loops small and tight? As you make your rows give it a little stretch
Does anyone know what she used? That yarn is pretty 👍
It is chenille yarn you can pick it up at your local craft store or check out my website for the colors I sell
www.thehiveworkshops.com
Those colors are beautiful together! Especially that yellow! I did a Gold but I may have to get some of that yellow for sure! GORGEOUS BLANKET!
How many balls of yarn do you need to make a chunky blanket
I use 6 balls that are about 28yards each.

What yarn did you use please x
It’s the thickest chenille yarn
@@thehivetopeka thank you x
I'm kinda scared to try the smelting method of joining ends... LOL Not because of fear of fire... I blow lots of things up. but.. :)
You can do this - but i have to say that was funny
@@thehivetopeka This.. this perhaps need the backstory? My former degree program was in Hazardous Material Technology. And we were taught about materials that would react on their own and introducing a flame would further the reaction, right? Well, a couple years later, I was all into organic gardening, but there were some invasive plants that needed to GO! Being male, albeit a gay man but still male, I researched recipes for "home weed killers". The first worked decently. So, I mixed about three different home recipes TOGETHER. I figured if one was good, just mix them altogether, right? I mixed them all into an approved container with spray apparatus. And the container began heating up, MAJORLY. I was like... oh crap!...I moved it to the backyard with oven mitts. I checked on it later that night, and it was hotter than ever, and thought it best to move it to an empty field next to my house. It took two days for that concoction to stop reacting and the heat to dissipate. I stay away from lighting things on fire and chemicals these days. LOL
what is a best yarn brand?
Plush yarn is the best yarn in the world 😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩
Hobby craft
Yarn Bee at Hobby Lobby is the best place to get when on sale every other week! Just the chunky yarn!
How big is the finished size
Everybody’s blanket is different size because everybody makes different size loops but in general using 6 balls of the yarn I sell is about a 47”x47”
Donde se compra esta lana
I sell it I will get it uploaded to website and attach link
Is this finger crocheting
Yes, you use only your hands! :) It's very easy and fun once you get the basic hang of it! :)
Why did you skip the first two loops when starting the blanket? And I’ve watched that part a million times and I still don’t understand.
You mean at the end of the first chain? You leave the end loop and if you go through the first you just pull that loop out that is why you start at the second top. Then you grab the loop when you come back on the next row. I hope that helps
Dondo compro esta lana para hacer graz😂asas

Hard to follow if lefty
I can understand that. Would you like a left handed video?
Camera is totally in wrong spot
Thank you for your feedback- much appreciated - still learning.
