Daughter-in-law sent us this video link. We will be learning to do this over the Thanksgiving holidays with two daughters in law, and possibly three granddaughters! Looking forward to it. While the guys hunt at the ranch, we will be making the blankets in the cabin. 😍😍
That sounds like a blissful time! Nobody will be cold at the cabin with these cozy blankets :) If you post any pictures of your blankets on social media I would be honored if you would tag me so I can see them @redesignedrose.
I've never been crafty, so you were talking to me. I'm nervous about my very first crat project. I've bought my skeins, and going to try to follow these directions the best I can. I got lost a couple of times, so going to have to watch a couple of times, I'm sure. Thanks for the confidence to try, and step out of my comfort zone.
Thank you for this video. I have watch about 15 min. Stooped and ran to walmart to get the yarn. Now we are on our way home. Never done this before so I will post picture of my first blanket.
You are so welcome! I try to explain in a way that would have helped me and saved me looooooots of time trying to figure this out. So much more to come and I would be honored if you stay around :)
I followed ths video!! Absolutely want 2 say I did it!!! Now if I am able 2 upload a pic I will thank u sooooo much 4 taking ur time and piece by piece. I did a 26 loop and of course had 2 undo quit a few rows but bcuz u had said it’s no prob I had enough confidence 2 undo and redo and I did finish and absolutely pleased with wht I learned from ur video!! I am definitely making more!!!!! 😁😁
Also I'd like you to know I've watched several tutorials on these blankets and yours by far is the best, easy and very understandable!! So thank you from the bottom of my heart. My 5 girls and 1 boy are getting these for Christmas this year... THANK YOU
I can't tell you how much your words mean to me! From the bottom of my heart, thank YOU! I also have 5 girls and 2 boys! They all absolutely LOVE these blankets. I'm sure your babies will enjoy them for years to come.
You did a great job with this tutorial! So much so that I have my Steins bought and ready to go! I will watch the tutorial a couple of more times before I go ahead. Your voice is very soothing, right to the point….no music just instructions. Thank you!
This is the best Tutorial I’ve seen andI’ve hated the ends to all of them. But this one I love so clean. My Sons bday today and he’s at school I’m going to go pick up some yarn and make him a queen size blanket. He love’s Zzz with out a Shirt as Long as he feels the softness of his Blanket So I’ll have a Surprise for him tonight . He’s turning (9yo) he’s my only boy in between two girls!!! Thank you can’t wait to see the outcome to my blanket. ♥️😊
@@redesignedrose lol- I laugh because I don’t have any social media. This is as far as I go. 🤷🏼♀️I’m a Single Mom so my social life is Work Kids Hone. my daughter (14) she’s always telling me I need friends. She’s never seen me go out. Because I don’t have time & at this point I have No friends but My kids. I’m turning 40 on December- you’d think I’d have someone. I’m working on one for my little one I’ll Share with you when I’m finished with it this week sometime. Promise-
Thank you! Your instructions are so clear, I love the bulky finger blanket! Waiting for my yarn to come to start my blanket for my 98 year old Mother-in-law for Christmas!
Thank you so much. I am a crafty lady and have been crocheting since I was in my teens. A last couple of years I have been knitting on round looms, which I love. I have been wanting to make this blanket for a while and your tutorial was awesome. My co-worker will love it.
I want to thank you for your very Slow Step by Step instruction. This was my first attempt to do this kind of blanket. I fell in love with the colors of the yarn, so I bought them. I then tried to find a tutorial that I could understand and follow after watching many and was going to give up I came across yours and Wala I have my first Chunky Knit blanket. I have to say it took me several rows before I got the flow of it, I did not undo all that I had done I just kept going and you can definitely see when it kicked in😁 Thank you thank you for helping the True Beginner❣️
Thank you for this video. I started making these blankets about a year ago the first one was meh, but with each one I get better. You’ve taught me a few new things to try, the alternating stitch and finishing off all sides with the braided look. So excited to start a new one. Also I want to say you have a calm and comforting voice , you don’t rush and you really do a fantastic job instructing. I’m glad I found your channel and I’m looking forward to viewing your other videos.😊
I can’t tell you how much your kind words mean to me ❤️ thank you! I’m always trying to learn more as I go so if I learn any new tips and tricks I’ll be sure to share 🥰
Yes, I thank you also! I mean i'm a year or more late to the party about these blankets and was going to take a class. Then my girlfriend told me about a Valentines class last week and it just inspired me to get back into crafting. So, I want to sign up for the class because my gf said she & a few others tried to do it by watching RUclips and hers came out like a "Triangle of sorts", lol so I've been watching a few people's video's and glad I came across it. I actually had watched it before but I like that you take it at a slower pace & I can stop, rewind etc too (haha) but I enjoyed your video very much and Thank You! I already had done the braid part but was getting stuck at the main step #2. Now I think I got it! LOL I think! I'm subcribing & cant wait to see more of you doing fun things! :) I know this is an old video but HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024 to You & Yours! :)
@@redesignedrose Thank you! I did something wrong several times & finally just put it in a bag and opened a new skein of yarn. Watched a couple more videos & started over with a new Skein of yarn. I am SO THRILLED with it even if it's not perfect! I'm 5 skeins in and I LOVE IT! I did do 35 loops across because I wanted it bigger! So we'll see when I finish all 8 skeins and then I guess I'll need a video on how to finish it off when i'm done! Thank you again for your video, it helped a lot and now I don't have to pay to take a class and I'm sure they will get better the more I make them! Thank you again and HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this tutorial! I've started my first blanket and am about 2 spools in thanks to your instruction.💜 I"ll post a pic once I"m done. Thank you!
I'm so glad I found this! This was my first time making a chunky knit blanket and it looks AMAZING!!! Thanks to you and your video it looks like I've been making blankets for years! Thank you so much. I'm definitely going to be saving this video for future blankets!!
Thank you for a wonderful tutorial! I just finished my first blanket and it actually looks great. I'm super excited! I used the Eternal Bliss brand from Hobby Lobby because I liked the color. Those skeins run smaller than the Bernat brand in yardage. I used 11 skeins for a sofa blanket with 25 loops. It ended up 45 inches wide by 90 inches long. Perfect for a tall person in a recliner. LOL Thanks again! I'll be making more😃
Excellent video. I had bought some chunky yarn months ago intending to try one and the yarn is still sitting. If I start now I should have a bunch of blankets made for Christmas 2024.
Thank you so much!! I just spent two days trying a method by someone else was ready to take my yarn back. I will start again tomorrow and will send you a picture if it turns out. Thank you again!!!
I bought 3 different colored yarn. I didn’t even think about the fact it would maybe be harder! Your video is the best one I have dyslexia I knew this would be tough for me. It wasn’t with how amazing you did!
have not arts and crafts in a long time, used to do finger weaving when i was 13, i have alot of catching up to do, never done a blanket gonna try this one out
Thank you so much! You have a calm and reassuring voice and I appreciate that you did not rush through. I have so much of this yarn, I purchased for crafts so they will be crazy colors! Lol! Have a wonderful holiday season! 💕
Hi Rose! this is my first time here and I want to tell you that I already subscribe to your channel not only I like your work, but because you explain everything so clearly that even a mid school age can understand you. I like you don't keep anything on the air so we don't have to wonder the how I 'll finish a project.! I can tell you are a very creative and sensitive person and I am very happy I found you. Christina
I'm so glad you like the tutorial! If it feels too loose, hopefully you haven't gone too far, I would take them out and start again. You want them all to be as consistent as possible :)
Thank you so much! I have watched so many and just couldn’t keep up and struggled! Your video is awesome and I actually finished my 1st blanket as a gift 😊
I just watched your tutorial, and you make it look so easy. I am going to get some yarn tomorrow and make an attempt at my own. If the first one turns out, i would like some information on how to add a second color. Ultimately, i would like to have something with three colors. I will post my finished product. Thanks again.
It's so rewarding to see a project come together, I hope your blanket turns out beautifully! To add or change colors simply tie on a new color at the end of the row where you would like the color change 🥰
Thank you very much! For a standard throw blanket I would work up 8 skein and start with a chain of 30. This usually gives a 6x6' blanket which is best for this size yarn. Any smaller and they look a bit "unfinished" to me. I hope that helps!
Hi Jen Your y-tube video is the perfect teaching tool. Your instruction is easy to understand. Sometimes I find repositioning myself helps me follow your hands and your verbal direction. My sister and I made our first blanket over the summer and we made a few mistakes but we pulled some rows out and we were able to fix what we did. So my sister took that blanket home with her to Florida. I have finished my second blanket and I have to agree with you that it is relaxing, reduces stress and creating this beautiful blanket has made me so proud. I am already looking at yarn colors and planning to make my next blanket for my husband. But I now have a waiting list for future blankets my children and grandchildren all want one too ! You have helped me feel proud of this new and developing creativity I have found. The color of this completed blanket is limestone (black, white, gray) and it is just amazing. I will send you a picture if I can figure out how to do it. I really appreciate you wanting to share with all of us this wonderful gift you have. Thank You for sharing it with me. Diane Smith from Boston Ma.
Hiii thanks my blanket is going super good I'm making mine a pattern and I ran out of yarn and now I need to head to micheals to get more lol thanks for the tutorial! ❤
Miss ma’am!!! This is the BEST tutorial I’ve ever seen. I actually pulled out my blanket because I didn’t like the messy border and found your video. What a relief!! I am starting right now! Thank you for the thoroughness and positive encouragement! It WILL be okay 😂 ps we have the same washing machine song 🎶
Sizes can vary depending on how loose or how tight your loops are. I don't have a chart, however, if I'm looking to make a certain size blanket I will create chains and lay that chain across the couch, or bed or wherever it will end up to see if I like the size and then go from there. That is what is so great about these blankets is they are extremely customizable!
Great tutorial, you took it slow and described the process well! I have a question though, I live in south Florida, is the chunky yarn very warm? We only have a few chilly nights in the 40-50’s. Thanks
If you were going to make a couch throw how much yarn should you buy? What is the stitch count across for a throw and how many rows? I love your tutorial.
Thank you for your reply. Is there a difference between the “big” yarn and “extra” from Bernat? Can you use either one? What would you notice if you used “extra” vs “big”
I started my blanket for my 1st grandchild due in 5/24. I’m having to take some of it down as it’s too loose. I need to find that sweet spot of not too loose or too tight.
Thank you very helpful advice and calming video! Love the info on materials an amounts used.❤ I think I missed what the finished size is and how many stitches you started with 😢
I'm so glad you found it helpful! I started with 45 chains. The finished size was about 5' x 7'. Your size can vary because it does depend on how tight or how loose your loops are :)
The final size of the blanket was about 5' x 7'. Sizes can vary depending on how loose or how tight your loops are. I don't have a chart, however, if I'm looking to make a certain size blanket I will create chains and lay that chain across the couch, or bed or wherever it will end up to see if I like the size and then go from there. That is what is so great about these blankets is they are extremely customizable!
Recently I have found Mainstay’s Chunky Chenille Yarn from Wal-Mart is very affordable more than the Bernat yarn I used in the video but is slightly thinner but not enough to complain about 🥰 7 skeins for an average size throw blanket with a starting chain of 35 is perfect for a couch.
For a queen size blanket using the Bernat Big, how many skeins would you buy? I want the die lots to match so I'd rather buy more than I need than try and match it after the fact
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm trying to make a blanket as a gift and this was very helpful. If I wanted to make a larger blanket with another color yarn, would I just do another slip knot at the end of the first ball of yarn to connect the second ball of yarn? Thanks!! :)
Thank you so much! With the 10 skeins and starting with a chain of 45 you should end up with a blanket that is about 5 x 7 feet. I know it doesn't sound very big but with the bulk of the yarn it's a really, really good size!
Great Video can't wait to make one my only question is I want to make a throw size one for my couch for my first one and if using the same yarn you did about how many skien should I expecti to use? So many stores have limited quantity and want to ensure I get enough thank you.
This is the best tutorial I’ve seen!!! Thank you for your thorough explanation. I am making a blanket for my granddaughter who is due in November. How many skeins do I need to make a baby blanket and a throw size blanket?
You are so very welcome! For a baby blanket I would you 3 skeins. My favorite throw size I’ll either use 5 or 7 depending if I want a larger throw or not 🥰
Que lindo gostei muito quero aprender fazer também como você faz estou aqui assistindo os seus vídeos parabéns pelo seu trabalho maravilhoso. Moro no Brasil 🇧🇷❣️
I bought a ton of this yarn before doing any research on how to do these so this was very helpful! I wanted to make mine a couple different colors, so instead of typing on a new skein of the same color.. theoretically i could just tie on a new color, right?
To find the best recipe for that, what I do is create a chain and lay it across the bed to be sure it is as wide as I need it to be. I then work up 2 skeins of yarn and measure how long the blanket is at that point. Then I decide how long I need the blanket and figure out how many more skeins I need to buy :)
I’m so glad to have found this! I’m going to make a blanket for my dad’s birthday in his favorite color. I was wondering- how many stitches do you use/would you suggest? I was thinking of making a blanket that could cover at least two people and sit well on the back of a long couch. I know the general advice of just eyeballing it and feeling it out, but I’ve found that I tend to under do it and won’t realize until I’m a few rows in. 😅
Hey I want to make a normal size throw and wondering how many skeins I would need. Also say I am doing the color white and want to change to pink could I do that, if so how.😊💗
I use 7 skeins for an average size throw blanket with a chain of 35. Yes you can change colors! Just tie on a new color at the end of the row instead of the same color.
So I have actually connected my new yarn by slightly trimming the old and the new and I burn the ends and put them together. It’s worked very well for me. Just another tip if anyone wants to try that. Though I’ve done with a knot as well, either works 🤗
As you practice your consistency for the size of the loops will get better. I do suggest your foundation chain being on the looser side. Just try your best to keep the loops about the same size. :)
Wow I’m so excited to try one of these with my son! This video is great and makes it look so easy! How many skeins should I buy for a decent sized throw blanket?
Amazing tutorial, just wondering a guesstimate for how much yarn to use per size of the throw/blanket. If I wanted to make say a 5’x7’ blanket. How many bundles of yarn should I buy?
Daughter-in-law sent us this video link. We will be learning to do this over the Thanksgiving holidays with two daughters in law, and possibly three granddaughters! Looking forward to it. While the guys hunt at the ranch, we will be making the blankets in the cabin. 😍😍
That sounds like a blissful time! Nobody will be cold at the cabin with these cozy blankets :) If you post any pictures of your blankets on social media I would be honored if you would tag me so I can see them @redesignedrose.

This makes my heart so happy!!!!
You can do it!

This is much better than the other videos on this as they have lots of thick ribs. This is more compacted and ends up thicker looking.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for this video. I have watch about 15 min. Stooped and ran to walmart to get the yarn. Now we are on our way home. Never done this before so I will post picture of my first blanket.
Thank you for sending this message! From the bottom of my heart. It means so much to me to help inspire the creativity in you! ❤️
This is such a great tutorial. Thanks for going slow and explaining each step.
You are so welcome! I try to explain in a way that would have helped me and saved me looooooots of time trying to figure this out. So much more to come and I would be honored if you stay around :)
I have never tried to make a blanket without a crochet hook or knitting needles. I am going to try this, you make it look so easy. Thank you
I’m so happy to hear this! I just put out a video yesterday to also crochet without a hook so you can try both 🥰
Have you done this with large needles/hooks? Looking for a way to keep my loops even.
@@deedeeparks6823 YES! a 30mm Crochet Hook will do the trick :)

If you post any pictures of your blankets on social media I would be honored if you would tag me so I can see them @redesignedrose.
Thank you for this excellent tutorial. I think I am going to try this. I want to make a baby blanket!
You are so welcome!
Yaaaa! Made a small blanket for my first Grandchild. Thank you so much. Now it did not come out the same but...I'm pleased😊
This makes my heart so happy!
Love your instructions! You make it look so easy, thank you so much. I’m going to make me one!
You are so very welcome!
Thank you so much! I have watched so many and just couldn’t keep up and struggled! Your video is awesome and I actually finished my 1st blanket as a gift 😊
My heart is so happy hearing this ❤️❤️
I did it for my Dad! It’s so awesome thank you!
You are so welcome! I bet he loves it and will enjoy it for a long time to com :)
I just watched your tutorial, and you make it look so easy. I am going to get some yarn tomorrow and make an attempt at my own. If the first one turns out, i would like some information on how to add a second color. Ultimately, i would like to have something with three colors. I will post my finished product. Thanks again.
It's so rewarding to see a project come together, I hope your blanket turns out beautifully! To add or change colors simply tie on a new color at the end of the row where you would like the color change 🥰
This was actually extremely helpful I tried to follow other tutorials but they weren’t as clear so thank you so much bc now I have my blanket!
I'm so glad it helped! Thank you for watching ❤️
Thank you so much for your very clear instructions, I've been dreaming of making my own blanket!😊💕💕
You are very welcome!
Awesome! I really enjoyed it. Now I'm going to try it. Thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you liked it!
Live your explanation and the ability to put it down and pick it back up if I can’t make it in one sitting.
How many do I chain for a throw?
My favorite size throw is a chain of 40 ❤️
Love your blanket, how skeins do I need for a throw blanket and typical measurements aling with how many loops in the chain? Thank you.
Thank you very much! For a standard throw blanket I would work up 8 skein and start with a chain of 30. This usually gives a 6x6' blanket which is best for this size yarn. Any smaller and they look a bit "unfinished" to me. I hope that helps!

Hi Jen
Your y-tube video is the perfect teaching tool. Your instruction is easy to understand. Sometimes I find repositioning myself helps me follow your hands and your verbal direction. My sister and I made our first blanket over the summer and we made a few mistakes but we pulled some rows out and we were able to fix what we did. So my sister took that blanket home with her to Florida. I have finished my second blanket and I have to agree with you that it is relaxing, reduces stress and creating this beautiful blanket has made me so proud. I am already looking at yarn colors and planning to make my next blanket for my husband. But I now have a waiting list for future blankets my children and grandchildren all want one too ! You have helped me feel proud of this new and developing creativity I have found.
The color of this completed blanket is limestone (black, white, gray) and it is just amazing. I will send you a picture if I can figure out how to do it. I really appreciate you wanting to share with all of us this wonderful gift you have.
Thank You for sharing it with me. Diane Smith from Boston Ma.
I would like to incorporate different colors in could you do a tutorial changing colors and making a few rows different colors? Please
That's a great idea! Yes I will :)
Have you posted a video adding multiple colors?@@redesignedrose
Hiii thanks my blanket is going super good I'm making mine a pattern and I ran out of yarn and now I need to head to micheals to get more lol thanks for the tutorial! ❤
I love that you’re making your own pattern! That’s so awesome!
Miss ma’am!!! This is the BEST tutorial I’ve ever seen. I actually pulled out my blanket because I didn’t like the messy border and found your video. What a relief!! I am starting right now! Thank you for the thoroughness and positive encouragement! It WILL be okay 😂 ps we have the same washing machine song 🎶
Your words mean so much. Thank you, thank you!
Do you have a cheat sheet on sizing? I’d like to make a throw blanket for my lap-do you know how many loops for your chain?
Sizes can vary depending on how loose or how tight your loops are. I don't have a chart, however, if I'm looking to make a certain size blanket I will create chains and lay that chain across the couch, or bed or wherever it will end up to see if I like the size and then go from there. That is what is so great about these blankets is they are extremely customizable!
Great tutorial, you took it slow and described the process well! I have a question though, I live in south Florida, is the chunky yarn very warm? We only have a few chilly nights in the 40-50’s. Thanks
Thank you so much! This yarn will be perfect for those chilly nights. The rest of the time it’s a beautiful home decor item 🥰
If you were going to make a couch throw how much yarn should you buy? What is the stitch count across for a throw and how many rows? I love your tutorial.
My favorite size takes 12 skeins and I start with a chain of 45 🥰
Thank you for your reply. Is there a difference between the “big” yarn and “extra” from Bernat? Can you use either one? What would you notice if you used “extra” vs “big”
Thanks Thanks for the clear instructions! What are the dimensions of this blanket you made with the 45 base stitches?
This is such a great tutorial!! I finished my first blanket yesterday! Thank you!
Oh I'm so excited for you! I hope you enjoy it and it inspires you to make more!!
I started my blanket for my 1st grandchild due in 5/24. I’m having to take some of it down as it’s too loose. I need to find that sweet spot of not too loose or too tight.
Oh I'm so excited! Yes, finding that "sweet spot" is the only hard part :) But you can do it!
Thank you very helpful advice and calming video! Love the info on materials an amounts used.❤ I think I missed what the finished size is and how many stitches you started with 😢
I'm so glad you found it helpful! I started with 45 chains. The finished size was about 5' x 7'. Your size can vary because it does depend on how tight or how loose your loops are :)
Oh this looks so easy, I love it ! I’m going to get my yarn 🧶 tomorrow !🤗🥰
I love it! Have fun with it!
What size blanket does the "10 skeins" referenced in the caption make? Is that enough for a Queen-sized blanket?
The final size of the blanket was about 5' x 7'. Sizes can vary depending on how loose or how tight your loops are. I don't have a chart, however, if I'm looking to make a certain size blanket I will create chains and lay that chain across the couch, or bed or wherever it will end up to see if I like the size and then go from there. That is what is so great about these blankets is they are extremely customizable!
Thank you for the great video! Just two question ..best place to buy yarn and how many tools should you buy for an average blanket on the couch? ty
Recently I have found Mainstay’s Chunky Chenille Yarn from Wal-Mart is very affordable more than the Bernat yarn I used in the video but is slightly thinner but not enough to complain about 🥰 7 skeins for an average size throw blanket with a starting chain of 35 is perfect for a couch.
How would you know how much yarn to buy? for an example if I wanted to make a king or queen size one how much yarn would I need? Loved your video
Thank you so much. For a queen or king size blanket you will need approx 17-18 skeins. They are very heavy but SO WONDERFUL and worth it!
Are these machine wash?ty
How do you connect skeins throughout the blanket? Do you just knit them together and continue knitting?
If you post any pictures of your blankets on social media I would be honored if you would tag me so I can see them @redesignedrose.
Very happy to have found this.
Welcome! I’m so happy you are here ❤️
Thank you for sharing how to hand knit very interesting!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
You are very welcome!
Hi good day I am going to buy some of these bernat yarn and am going to make one to see how it will come out I am from the Caribbean
Hello in the Caribbean! Thank you so much and I am confident your blanket will turn out amazing 🥰
For a queen size blanket using the Bernat Big, how many skeins would you buy? I want the die lots to match so I'd rather buy more than I need than try and match it after the fact
Thanks! Easy to understand directions.
You are so welcome ❤️
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm trying to make a blanket as a gift and this was very helpful. If I wanted to make a larger blanket with another color yarn, would I just do another slip knot at the end of the first ball of yarn to connect the second ball of yarn? Thanks!! :)
To add a new color simply tie a knot like I did in the video and snip off the tails 😊
Watching this knowing how to make it but it is just satisfying to watch.❤
And even more satisfying to snuggle up with right? 🥰
Love the tutorial. Easy for me to understand. Question - under the materials it calls for 10 skeins of yarn. How big of a blanket is that?
Thank you so much! With the 10 skeins and starting with a chain of 45 you should end up with a blanket that is about 5 x 7 feet. I know it doesn't sound very big but with the bulk of the yarn it's a really, really good size!
@@redesignedrose Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I appreciate you and the information you provided. Can't wait to get started 😊
If you post any pictures of your blankets on social media I would be honored if you would tag me so I can see them @redesignedrose.
@@redesignedrosehow many balls of the chunky yarn is needed for the 5 x 7 blanket?
Very thorough. I’m excited to try!
Hope you like it!
Great Video can't wait to make one my only question is I want to make a throw size one for my couch for my first one and if using the same yarn you did about how many skien should I expecti to use? So many stores have limited quantity and want to ensure I get enough thank you.
I just made another one using 7 skeins and it’s a small throw blanket but perfect for the couch and one person ❤️
This is the best tutorial I’ve seen!!! Thank you for your thorough explanation. I am making a blanket for my granddaughter who is due in November. How many skeins do I need to make a baby blanket and a throw size blanket?
You are so very welcome! For a baby blanket I would you 3 skeins. My favorite throw size I’ll either use 5 or 7 depending if I want a larger throw or not 🥰
I just made a huge blanket it's beautiful thanks for the tips
You’re welcome 😊

I'm glad you found it helpful!
hello! this tutorial is awesome!!! can you please tell how many grams estimate will be needed for a whole blanket?
I’m so glad you liked it! I used 10 skeins. I’m sorry I don’t know how many grams each skein is.
@@redesignedrose okkk got it thank youu!
I bought a ton of this yarn before doing any research on how to do these so this was very helpful! I wanted to make mine a couple different colors, so instead of typing on a new skein of the same color.. theoretically i could just tie on a new color, right?
Yes you can absolutely tie on a new color!
I’m excited to try! Thank you for easy to understand instructions.
You are so welcome!

How do you determine how much yarn you need? I'd like to make one for my bed, was thinking at least queen size, may just go king (90" x 94" )
To find the best recipe for that, what I do is create a chain and lay it across the bed to be sure it is as wide as I need it to be. I then work up 2 skeins of yarn and measure how long the blanket is at that point. Then I decide how long I need the blanket and figure out how many more skeins I need to buy :)
I’m so glad to have found this! I’m going to make a blanket for my dad’s birthday in his favorite color.
I was wondering- how many stitches do you use/would you suggest? I was thinking of making a blanket that could cover at least two people and sit well on the back of a long couch. I know the general advice of just eyeballing it and feeling it out, but I’ve found that I tend to under do it and won’t realize until I’m a few rows in. 😅
I saw you said 45! Missed it the first time around haha
I too made one for my dad and he LOVES it!
Love your tutorial. I have plenty of this yarn to make this. You make it look so do-able.❤
Thank you! 😊 You can do it!

Hey I want to make a normal size throw and wondering how many skeins I would need. Also say I am doing the color white and want to change to pink could I do that, if so how.😊💗
I use 7 skeins for an average size throw blanket with a chain of 35. Yes you can change colors! Just tie on a new color at the end of the row instead of the same color.
@@redesignedrose thank you so much
So I have actually connected my new yarn by slightly trimming the old and the new and I burn the ends and put them together. It’s worked very well for me. Just another tip if anyone wants to try that. Though I’ve done with a knot as well, either works 🤗
I've seen a few people do that and I need to try it! Thank you for the tip.
I appreciate the tutorial you gave so calming and easy !
You are so very welcome! 🥰
@@redesignedrose wish you had a online class. ☺️
@@nanunanusa more tutorials to follow!!
Looks easy and warm!!!
Yes it is! :)
How many skeins and chain count measurements would you use to make a baby blanket
For a baby blanket you could do 7 skeins with a chain count of 20 :)
New to your page and I’m loving it
I'm so glad you are here!
What’s the trick to keeping the edges straight? My first try the bottom row was so tight that the blanket was all out of shape. I had to start over.
As you practice your consistency for the size of the loops will get better. I do suggest your foundation chain being on the looser side. Just try your best to keep the loops about the same size. :)
Thank you for the tutorial! Could you please share a string art tutorial?
You are so welcome! Yes, I have one in the works now :) Be sure to hit the bell so you will be notified once it is available!
Thank you for showing this so beautiful I’m definitely gonna be trying to make one
You’re welcome 😊
Wow I’m so excited to try one of these with my son! This video is great and makes it look so easy! How many skeins should I buy for a decent sized throw blanket?
Oh I am excited for you and your son! My favorite size uses 10 skeins. It’s a good size throw!
Great Video!! I'm Wanting To Make One For Christmas, I Have Never Made One ! 😊
You can do it!
Amazing tutorial, just wondering a guesstimate for how much yarn to use per size of the throw/blanket. If I wanted to make say a 5’x7’ blanket. How many bundles of yarn should I buy?
Usually for a 5x7 I’ll buy 8 skeins 🥰
