I'm feeling all of the cozy blanket vibes right now folks! And place your bets or get your beverage of choice ready for a sip and watch! How many times will Tayler use the word 'cozy' in just over 30 minutes? 😉 ❤

Wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas Taylor xx
I love the guy. He looks like "All mine. You can't have any!"
🎉❤
I was knitting while watching. As soon as I saw your cozy counter, I was giggling. Every time I heard the word, I had to look up to see the ticker change and giggle a little. Your videos are just so well made and I love that you embrace the quirkiness.
Thank you so much Nik. This means a lot. I love that you enjoy them. ❤️
A hand knitted/crocheted blanket is my go-to wedding gift to give. The recipient, however, MUST be knit worthy!
I love the Orion one, and the woven look, but as long as I have dogs (many years to come, I hope) no knit throws for me....
I really enjoyed hearing your take on knitted afghans. One reason I started crocheting was to do afghans thinking that weren't that many knitted options available. I've since been schooled on such a silly idea lol. Really enjoy how you word your descriptions. You make each project sound so much fun. You even have me attempting the Emotional Support Chicken which has been quite a challenge to say the least lol. Thank you for your time and efforts on the work you do for your videos. I thoroughly enjoy them. 😊
Blankets are the primary things I knit. I learned to knit about 50 years ago, but didn’t make many projects, and then didn’t knit at all for decades. I picked it up again about 6 years ago, but consider myself still more or less a beginner and haven’t really challenged myself. I’ve knit over a dozen blankets, all as gift knits, and have just begun knitting garments. 2024 I’m hoping to learn more and take on a bit more complex projects
I like the decor of the room you're in... nostalgic
I rarely comment but I have to say: the cozy counter already had me, then you took a call and chatted with your son!
These little things just add to the pleasure of your podcast. It feels more like we are neighbor/mom friends sharing our love of yarn crafting. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
The “COZY COUNTER” is cracking me up! ❤😂
I have the Chromataphore pattern, and I can confirm that it is a very well written and detailed pattern. Her Papillon (Butterfly) shawl is incredibly popular, and so she created poncho and blanket versions of it. I've knit the poncho version called Aflutter which came in a bundle and is basically the same as Chromataphore but in fingering weight and with a hole in the center for your head. Once you get in the rhythm the short row sections make a lot of sense, but they're a lot of lines of pattern when written out. It can be intimidating, but if you just follow the pattern and use plenty of stitch markers it will make sense. There are over 4k projects for Papillon listed on Ravelry, which uses the same motif!
I am so intrigued by the Orion blanket.
I'm knitting a shaw-type blanket right now so I can wrap it around my shoulders while I'm writing or possibly knitting another blanket. The yarn is so soft and fluffy and I just want it to be finished so I snuggle with it and drink a cup of tea.
Thanks for the suggestions! I started cheering when you mentioned the Fall Cuddler Throw. I've knitted that about 11 times to date. It's my go to for gift. I usually Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick or Caron Tea Cakes. It always ends up stunning! It takes me about 40 hours with tassels on top and botton. 10/10 highly recommend!
honestly the stornaway throw works well in just about any color. I'd made one for my house in a light tan, and than sized up another to go over my brother's bed in a bright teal, and they both look spectacular.
Hi Taylor, FYI I knit Purl Soho's coziest blanket ever with Fiddlehead as a special birthday gift for my teen granddaughter. It adorns her bed and she loves it.
Merry Christmas 🌹 Deb
I’m knitting the Woven Wonder Knit Throw by Mama in a Stitch as I am watching you. It’s big enough now to keep me warm and COZY as I knit it.
Stornoway was my christmas present to myself last year, it knit up so fast, maybe like 3 weeks
I love these! I cannot do tassels because my dogs will try to eat them! BUT, the good news is, most blanket patterns tolerate leaving the tassels off. Excellent ideas, and as a travel nurse, I’ve long thought I ought to have a travel blanket, too. Some of my temporary housing has only scratchy polyester throws - it works, but nothing personal, nothing texturally or cozily interesting. Like I need another project!
what's a travel nurse? I didn't even know that was a thing. You're a flight attendant but for nursing?
@@aspenisthebest No, I'm not a flight attendant. I'm an RN that fills in when there aren't enough nurses at a given hospital. It's definitely a *thing*!
I LOVE that you did this video. We need more blanket love!!!
Merry Christmas 🌹 Kimmy
Great suggestions! When my kids were little I asked them to pick colors for blankets I would make for them and they would have their own favorite. I also asked my husband. To this day, many years later, most of them still have their blankets. You’ve inspired me to put out blankets that I made recently. I tend to keep them stored away. Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤️
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Campfire Blanket, because that is something I could start now for each of my sons, daughter, and son in law. There is a stripe randomizer somewhere on google, and you can tell it colors and quantities (I used it before, and just used the number of skeins for the count), and you can have it redo the randomizer until you see one that you like. It made a gorgeous crochet V stitch blanket! It has about 10 colors. With the Campfire I will add an I-cord border all of the way around, for stability of shape. And I like I-cord borders.
Love the fact that you didn’t cut out “real life” aka your son calling because he was upset ❤
Taylor, you should be in sales 😊 I just said yesterday I have no desire to knit a blanket. Now I can’t wait to plan a blanket to knit 😂
Merry Christmas 🌹 Julie
All of your choices are cozy! I prefer to crochet blankets as I can complete 1 in less time than I can knit a pair of shorty socks.
Enjoy your time off Taylor and I hope you get some cozy knitting time! As always, thank you for the content.
Thank you so much Cheryl. Will do. Have a great holiday! ❤️
This is enormously helpful to me.
I made a mermaid's tail for my Mum first, and when it knit up so fast with the junky yarn, I made some for the nieces for Christmas as well. Having seen how they love my Mum's, that's sure to be a hit.
I’m currently working on the Stornaway Throw as a wedding git for my daughter. I am making it larger and so far it’s flying off my needles. It’s not complicated at all.
I can absolutely recommend the Stornoway Throw. I knitted it a couple of years ago for us and it was lovely and fun to knit. The end result is beyond satisfying!
Merry Christmas 🌹 Helen
I have made 5 simple striped blankets for Christmas gifts this year! There are 2 in my home that are well loved ❤
Merry Christmas 🌹 Jackie
the timing on this video is crazy 😂 i was watching this while frantically trying to finish my Umaro blanket for my parents' christmas gift and even though a sane person would swear off blanket knitting after a project cram like this, its making me want one for myself LOL.
for the purl soho pattern, both DROPS and knitpicks have much more affordable alpaca bouclé options though you might have to hold double or triple to meet the gauge. genuinely considering making one, ive been bit by the bouclé bug this winter
Have a safe and wonderful Christmas!
That video was just up my alley - I love ❤️❤️❤️ knitting or crocheting blankets. Thank you for doing the research and creating the Ravelry bundle. Whatever you celebrate, I hope you have a joyous healthy fun time with family. The ‘littles’ stay little for such a short time. 🤗
Great roundup of gorgeous blankets! I have been in love with the Stornaway since it came out, and in fact have had yarn already stashed for it for a couple years. You’re inspiring me to just go ahead and make it!
Thank you so much! I’ll have to give a think on the blankets using more than a US13! Beyond that, they are really hard on the hands. I did one for my DIL with a US17…sort of made up the pattern and recommended that she put it in a duvet cover since I wasn’t every knitting that size again. I’ll be interested to look at some of the Super Bulky and see how they can be ‘downsized’. Thank you again!😊
30secs in and up to 3 cozy’s! Loving this video already🥰
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Happy holidays and enjoy your time off!
I have several of those blankets in my favs already...currently making the Simple Striped Blanket (1st one shown) for my husband. Love it! Enjoy your family and Happy Holidays to all!!
Thanks so much for doing this blanket blog. I've been thinking about knitting a chunky blanket. These are great!!
This blanket collection is wonderful Taylor!! I love making blankets but usually i crochet them as I can crochet a lot faster than knitting!!! I may need to try one of these blankets!!
I would love to do KAL to motivate me to finally knit the Stornoway Throw. I've been drooling over that one for years!
One blanket I've loved knitting that worked up super quick and easy was RED HEART BRAIDED CABLE KNIT THROW PATTERN. Fantastic gift knit! And a couple a really want to try are the Aran Cable blabket by Bernat, and the Mitred-corner Blanket by Purl Soho!

I love Purl Soho patterns. I made their Library Blanket 3 years ago now. It took forever to plan out the colours because it had to be perfect, I'm a bit of a yarn snob so I wasn't going to use cheap yarn... Someone made a colour picker/planner for it which was so helpful. I'm still very much in love with it and am sitting under it right now!
One of the yarns I picked is also a 100% alpaca and while it is super super soft, it also pills like nothing else. I keep pulling off fuzzies and a lot of them end up on the floor until I vacuum again. I wonder if that Purl Soho bouclé yarn wouldn't have the same issue.
Have a wonderful Holiday!!
Just ordered yarn for the LB Simple Striped Blanket (and circular needles and some tip stoppers...) Really love the look of this blanket and can't wait to get cozy! Thanks for selecting so many nice blankets. I'm sure I'll come back to this episode and pick another one at some point.
Great podcast thank you
When I was learning how to knit, I made the Simple Striped Afghan and I love it! Back in the day, Lion Brand sold a kit to make the blanket and I bought it on a Black Friday sale. Today my two year old was using it and it made my heart so happy to see her using something I made from before she was born ❤
I love the stornaway and harvests blankets! They are totally going on my list! With regards to Pearl Soho, I love their yarn, but yeah, when you look at making blankets, they require so much Yarn that it’s a small fortune to knit them!
Enjoy your lovely break with family. 🧶💚☕️🎄 I will be catching up on some of your previous podcasts and finishing and re-watching the first installment for the FrankenKAL! So excited!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Great. My granddaughter wanted a “blankey” for her toddler. Love the choices.
Lol the guy carrying all the blankets stole all of our blankets! This video came just in time! I’m leaving on a two week road trip with my parents and I was looking for a project to start. This is perfect!
I really enjoyed making a Starflanket this year. I made it entirely out of leftover yarn so it cost me nothing. It surprised me at how quickly it got done. I sat on it for less than a month start to finish as I was keen to get to the next stage at each stage and next colour as my colours ran out. I've been enjoying the odd shape too so have added a Slipstravanganza blanket to my Ravelry Q which will be one of the first projects I start next year (if not earlier if my current works are finished earlier than I expect). I do not have enough leftovers in stash to make another full blanket, and am reluctant to spend too much for a blanket as well, but I'm sure I can get it done and have it looking good if I buy just one colour in enough length that will border all the remaining scrap colours I can put into it.
Blankets are great stash busters.
The Starflanket started with the same shapes as the Hvammsvík Blanket uses, which has inspired me to want to knit one of those too. I will however have to think about yarn colours for that one and possibly wait till I've done a few more other projects that can refill my oddments box.
Lol with the cozy counter. Hilarious! Also, thank you so much for noting your Fire Pit Mitts - I've made four pairs so far (two long, two short - three are gifts!). Such an easy pattern. Fun and fast!
I made the Stornoway throw! I fell in love with it when I first found it. I love it! The blanket was not too hard to make. It took me a couple of months to complete it. The Corners Are a wrap and turn. When I casted on this pattern. I considered myself an intermediate beginner knitter, and it was not too bad. The cables are easier than they look (I had not done cables before). I Loved working on that blanket. I used the suggested yarn in the same color and I have also done the blanket in a smaller size. I think about casting on this blanket all the time.🥰
Thanks so much for the wonderful roundup! I have a friend who is quite ill and trying to overcome yet another cancer diagnosis and treatment. I've been thinking about a shawl but now ....a cozy blanket is in the running. Plan to start right after the holiday. As always, love your content Taylor.
I'm so glad that this was inspiring and may provide some ideas for a blanket for your friend. Thank you so much for watching Elizabeth. Happy holidays!
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Tayler. 🧑🎄
Same to you Alison! ❤️🎄
❤Cozy inspiration! Have a great time with family and friends. 🎄 🎁 Merry Christmas!
This is my 2nd year making my advent project a blanket. I use mine from last year so often and love it so I love this new tradition.... can it even be that when it's only the 2nd year?? Lol. I also made a scrap blanket this past year because I hate having all my scraps just sitting there when they could be keeping my family warm instead. I enjoyed that so much that I also started a 2nd scrap blanket. I am all about embracing the blanket for the fam mojo.
Do one on fun baby blankets? I have too many bunnies to be able to use a knitted blanket. 🐰🐰
Inspired by this video I’ve started to knit the Simple Striped Afghan for my toddler granddaughter. Picking out the colors was fun!
Oh yay! I LOVE dreaming up color combos for blankets. So inspiring. ❤️❤️
Happy Holidays Tayler!!!
Found myself obsessively watching the "cozy" counter, which was oddly fun. You missed one at around 12:30...
I’ve made the simple striped afghan and it’s so beautiful. It was made as a gift for a very special couple and I have intentions on making another for my home. I also recommend this pattern 👍🏽 ❤ 🧶
Blankets are one of my favorite things to knit. I've made seven so far, and I'm three skeins from finishing my eighth. I hope to start the ninth next month. I've never followed or created a pattern for them, though, though I may have to try out some of the ones you mentioned. Mine have all been garter stitch all the way though, though one was a patchwork of yarn scraps, and the rest were striped.
Watching this knitting a harvest throw for a christmas gift
Merry Christmas, Tayler and than you for another inspirational post! I have a blanket my grandma knit from bits and bobs of yarn and I love it--lots of stripey love. Have a great time off!
Thank you Jennifer! Merry Christmas to you as well! ❤️🎄
I LOOOOVE a hand knit blanket. Your suggestions are great. I have made the Color block bias one for a friend’s baby. I would also like to add Reversible Cabled Blanket to the list. I made it for another friend’s baby but you could make it larger. And same for the zig-zag Afghan throw. Finally, one that’s on my list to make is the Moderne Blanket - looks gorgeous. ❤❤
Loved this round up! Happy holidays and Merry Cbristmas 😊
Have a wonderful Christmas holiday Tayler! Thanks for all the blanket pattern ideas. I like a lot of them!
Merry Christmas 🌹 Anne
Again you are channeling my knitting projects! 😊. I am almost done with a Hudson Bay Baby Blanket (the Purl Soho version) and have started the Woven Look Throw which was supposed to be a Christmas present for my sister, but I knew that was an impossible task…so for next year. I had just ordered the yarn when you brought up the issues you had with the Mandela yarn, so I was 😢, but I had ordered the same colorways as in the sample because I really liked how it looked. I am hoping it all works out. Definitely will probably take me a year. 😂
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Tayler!
Thank you so much Mary. Same to you. ❤️🎄
GM Taylor
Merry Christmas to you and family and excited for January pods as it will have calmed down significantly!!!😊
🎄✝️🎄🔔
my son(9) who is crocheting a meerkat for his little sister as Christmas present, and I knitting a basic pair of shorty socks for said son . ... enjoyed this episode very much! thanks for your time. Merry Christmas and enjoy your time off
Great blankets! I made the Egg Harbor Afghan (knit) with Lion Brand Mandala Thick & Quick yarn …. Love it!
I'm already on the blanket train, working on two right now. One is the Coziest Memory by Kemper Wray, which is a FINGERING!!! weight blanket on 2.75 mm needles, meant to use up scraps. I'm breaking up the busy colors with plain white squares, and it should make a nice summer weight blanket for my bed in two or three years!
I was intimidated by brioche until Arne & Carlos made a tutorial and I realized how incredibly easy and fun it is to knit flat, especially for Continental knitters. Then I lost my mind and starting knitting a blanket in brioche with Alafosslopi on 8 mm needles, and finished it, and looked at it all summer folded up in the corner, and now I'm making it bigger so it will cover my whole bed. No pattern. Lots of fun.
Thanks for finding patterns for us. The one with the cables is like a dream, so beautiful. I wonder if I'm that ambitious!
Purl Soho often has yarn sales. So that fiddlehead yarn can be bought much cheaper if you're patient. I bought mine 25% off.
Love the names
I gasped when I heard about the Orion blanket and its use of cellular automata! As a computer science nerd I've always loved the link between knitting and algorithms! I've always likened knitting pattern instructions to programming!
Yay! I'm glad that this one resonated with you. I think it's so cool and ingenius. I love it when folks push the envelope in crafting. Very inspiring!
Have a wonderful Christmas! Love the coziness. I made a bunch of blankets for our vacation cabin, and I was very disappointed in the fabric. It was lion brand bulky yarn, and should have been knitted at a tighter gauge for a blanket-too stretchy at recommended gauge and that cut down on the coziness factor.
Thanks for the suggestions! Years ago I knit the Garter Squish blanket by Stephen West. I was a fairly new knitter and didn’t realize then that SW is a rock star in the knitting world. It’s a bulky weight blanket where you use two strands of worsted weight. I used multiple colors for one strand and a cream yarn for the continuous color. It’s super COZY (there’s that word again haha) and squishy, hence the name. It also has an i-cord border for a nice-looking edge. Oh, and it’s a free pattern on Ravelry.
Lovely cozy afghans! I knit the Gansey Afghan by Lena Skvagerson and enjoyed it immensely for it’s esthetic value and coziness. I have knit and crocheted $300 afghans and said I won’t do it again because all I could think was “I have to put this somewhere that the hubby won’t grab it or the animals will ruin it.” But that alpaca yarn!!! 😂😂😂
Nice roundup! Would you consider doing a crochet version? ❤❤❤
Is there a cozy contest I didn't know about? I coulda been a contender!
I'm working on the Incredible blanket by purl soho. Using Manos del Urugway yarns. So squishy and cozy.
Such a timely video since my son has requested a knitted blanket
Oh good! I hope these inspired you!
I knit a blanket every winter. I will be curious to see if any of these will be ones I've knitted or need to knit in the future.
The Dustland by Stephen West and the Sweet Shop blanket by Laura Penrose are on my list. I have made the Reversible Afghan to Knit by Val Love three times - great pattern.
I will be sending this to my sister-in-law. Thanks!
Worked on my blanket while I watched this 🥰
I've hesitated knitting a blanket but a small lap blanket could be doable. I've wanted to knit the tree of life blanket for years. I just love the look of it. Maybe I start that one in the new year?
Generally I think I'm more of a yarn over construction knitter though. Like color & feel are more important for me.
i wanted to knit a blanket for sooo long but yeah it doesn't seem as popular in the knitting community so i still havent. My current fav is probably old forge by stephen west. It is a round blanket so I am a little hesitant but at the same time the originality of it has it's appeal. And of course the design itself, it reminds me a bit of a sun, but i really like the dark blue with a light contrast colour.
Cascade has a great book of done in a weekend blankets.
Every loom knitter knows the classic 10 stitch blanket, where you start a back and forth of ten stitches, radiate out in a spiral, and join as you go. Be sure to check that out. There are variations of it available too!
yes I made one of these over a few years with scraps! so easy and looks really cool
Dangit, just when I thought I didn't need any more blankets 😂
Love the "cozy counter"! 😂
Great reviews ty❤
Hmmmm - project for when the Christmas knitting is done. Thank you!
Last year, I knitted 7 afghans with a matching 16" pillow cover. Need to finish the cotton pillow cover, sean the size of the pillow cover/sham. With a final of 4 buttons. The sad part is that the acrylic yarn pilled a bit in the knitting process. Think I have a favorite de-piller from your video.
“Cozy counter” cracked me up 🤪😍
Bonfire by TinCan Knits is a fast knit. Super bulky yarn, lap throw size, garter stitch with one simple cable panel so you aren't bored to death. I knit it in 8 days.
