BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO A DIY CHUNKY KNIT BLANKET (STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL)

[@believethat2967]

Finally a video where you can see EVERY STEP. Well done!!

[@jaxon3mom]

This video was extremely helpful, I watched numerous tutorials and yours was the only one I could follow. I was able to make a beautiful blanket for my upcoming granddaughter 🩷

[@maryrodger5130]

Your guide has the clearest explanation so far. Thanks Drea

[@LillianNedeau]

I tried many videos. Took apart my blanket three times. Then I found your easier to understand video. Perfect. Thanks!

[@rosashely6197]

I have seen various tutorials about making these cozy chunky throws... As a teacher and a new person making one- who has never knitted before- your tutorial is THE best I have seen. Extremely well explained and paced... Your tutorial is the only one I'm going to share with others. Keep up the great work you're doing! You're young and your final work- and steps presented- seem like you've been doing this for years and years! Thank you for your time, effort, and for sharing your skills with the rest of us... Saludos from San Antonio, Texas! ❤

Awww thank you! Happy to help

Just wanted to say thank you so much for your video and your slower, more detailed, thorough explanation of what to do for each step. I’m now on my 4th blanket and keep coming back to your video to remind myself how to get it started and how to finish it up. It’s the best video I found after searching for weeks and I LOVE the way each blanket has come out. ♥️ it just reiterates the importance of patience and thoroughness and not assuming people grasp what you’re talking about. Most seemingly difficult, complicated things in life can be greatly simplified with a little extra time and patience, and the ability to look at something through the eyes of a true “beginner” with no prior knowledge on the subject. A lot of “beginner” tutorials or explanations of things still seem to make a lot of assumptions and lack the patience to actually explain things that a true beginner (like myself 😅) would fully grasp to the extent of being able to confidently apply it in life. Okay maybe I’m going a bit deeper than blanket-crafting, but seriously, it applies to just about everything! Hahaha whoa, tangent over. But seriously, great work and much appreciated! 🤗

[@dreacrandell488]

Kelly I so appreciate you sharing this!!! I really tried to come from a beginner’s point of view, so I’m glad that came across. Congrats on the blankets you’ve made this far!!! They make fabulous gifts!

[@GS-uc6dy]

THANK YOU!!! I Am glad I found you. I had the same concerns that you said at the beginning of your video and I pulled my blanket apart multiple times and all those videos out there were not answering my questions about how to transition to the second row and on and how to close it off properly… people didn’t show the techniques up close and personal and they were going too fast. Your video was amazing and perfect I felt as if we were making the blanket together in a class. My blanket has never looked so perfect I love it. Thanks again

[@gymnastgirl2984]

Definitely Ben wanting to try. Thank you

[@idhsts]

Clearest and most precise tutorial I have seen. THANK YOU!!!!!

[@karicastro5329]

Thank you great Video, I tried to make a blanket on someone else site and could not figure it out until I saw you doing. Thank you.

[@jillanagreene4049]

Best video I’ve seen ! You explained it so well thank you , can’t wait to make my own 💖

[@cathleenquinlan]

❤ how you went slow enough to make sure I new what I was doing.

[@briansaulig103]

Wow! Can’t wait to make one!

[@megancollins9261]

Thanks for the easy instructions! Looks good

[@i_CARLYYYYY]

My last loop, CHILLIN lol it was that part where I was like AHHHHHHH THAT IS WHERE I WENT WRONG!! 🤣 ❤️

[@katybrooke0724]

[@emmasanchezsoto2474]

Love this learning good for pandemic lockdown, good for the nerves, thsnk you lady. Great work.

[@gildasantiago6062]

Lovely simple directions great❤️❤️❤️thank you

[@christinelouisew1]

Thank-you, thank-you!! I was having the same trouble trying to understand how to do the ends of each row! Your video was very easy to follow and understand. I am looking forward to starting my blanket!

[@stacysmith9343]

You are an amazing teacher! Thank you!

[@dreacrandell488]

Aww thanks so much! Enjoy!!

[@donnabarber1029]

Omg thank you so glad I watched your channel I was having trouble with the end loops you explained it so well thank you ….. very understandable….

[@watersnake5319]

Girl! I see this is a year old but THANK YOU for the clearer more concise direction. I was ready to give up, thinking I couldn't do it, I just couldn't get it. Tutorial after tutorial no success. Then I came across this one and now my sister has an only half jacked up looking quilt for Christmas! LOL! On behalf of the craftily inept don't ever take this thing down. Merry Christmas! And Happy New Year!

[@alanamiller9613]

Thank you so much for this. I have been wanting to make a blanket for a while now but just didn’t know how. Other videos didn’t help but this one did so thank you

[@clarefife9999]

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL THANK UUUUU

[@karaona]

That was great, thank you so much.

[@mrod1719]

Thank you! I'm going to attempt one for my daughter in law.

[@tracyshelton5599]

This I believe I can manage this. , tried to do arm knitting several times I got frustrated with it, this I think I can do

[@i_CARLYYYYY]

See how you rotated the direction of the yarn? Some people don’t do that & that’s exactly where it can get tricky for beginners like me. Thank you 🥰

[@LoveandLiveShow]

This was nice. I'm gonna try and do one. Very detailed you did a great job. I'm new to your channel. My nephew wants me to make him some underwear. I don't know how to do that, but I'm going to try. He is being funny so I'm going to do it to let him know not to play with me.

[@harttoheart3546]

Lovely job so easy to understand!

[@gildasantiago6062]

Gorgeous

[@ciara8674]

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL! Thank you so much!!

[@amberm5471]

Thank you so much for this!! I wonder have you have did the knitted chunky stockings for Christmas? If so I would love a tutorial on that!

[@morenagomes7607]

Bravo!!👏🧶

[@jackiegreenwood7690]

Do the corners have to be rounded or is there a way to make them more straight edge? It looks like the first chains on each side aren’t as long as the other rows even tho they are. Is there anyway to make the whole thing look more squared at the corners?

[@arne8038]

Gud day ma'm,How many yarn does it take for a blanket? Thank u

[@rozalynsantana2830]

THANK YOU! i’m trying to make a blanket and this was perfect! also can i use 5 balls of chunky yarn instead of 6?

[@dreacrandell488]

Yep!

[@karaona]

5 balls will make it how by many feet?

[@shaunafrim9996]

Thanks for the great video! I am with you on the corners. I didn't do my corners correctly because I did not pick up that detail in other videos. So my question is are my two sides going to fall apart? Is there away to fix that or do I just leave it? Side note the rest of my blanket turned out amazing. Glad I found your video before I make the rest of them for my grandbabies!

[@JessicaJones-ke5vb]

Hi! Loved your video, my blanket is looking great. Quick question- what do you do with the little tail that you started with? Just tuck in somehow?

[@dreacrandell488]

Hi! Yes I tuck it in the rest of the fabric. Sometimes I got glue the tail so it stays!

[@TammyBevis]

T CD❤

[@annfigueroa2374]

The only video I understood

[@michellemybelle7069]

How do you do it if you want to switch up colors like some cream and then blue then back to cream? Would you stop it at the end?

[@casieeeds]

Thank you!!! 😊 🙏 😊 🙏 😊

[@m_j_squared]

Could you post a link to where you got the yarn?

[@dakotarone8206]

She sayed Michael's or Walmart or hobby lobby

[@kimberlypope397]

How many rows of 25 did you make and what was the finished size please?

[@melodienaber3238]

I vave a cat named Charcoal too!

[@annazelenyj5034]

How many stitches you out full a full blanket

[@1105pitbull]

I think if you make your loops smaller (2") you will make the gauge smaller and closer together. Your toes will be happier.

[@kimc4699]

How do you care for it afterwards ? If it gets dirty ?

[@sarah.s6394]

What yarn did you use?

[@minurgopposhoppo]

I want to make blanket. How I get yarn?

[@peyton8001]

You can go to stores like hobby lobby, Walmart, Jo Anne’s and more. Or you could order yarn off Amazon. Hope this helps 🙃

[@minurgopposhoppo]

I live in india

[@vanessawillson9791]

On the last loop if you was it it will come lose you should sow it to keep it from coming undone.

[@lorierandallmarcus1771]

Just curious, how many yards of yarn are in your skeins

[@dreacrandell488]

I used 5!

[@lorierandallmarcus1771]

@@dreacrandell488 I think my skeins of yarn are jumbo size.so that is why I wondered how many yards of yarn are in just one of your skeins? Thanks

[@ankyevolsha]

What’s the final dimension?

[@lindastevens4686]

Thank you for making things so easy I learned from you thank you.

[@mariawooten8823]

This is too hard I auit

[@peyton8001]

I feel your pain. A few months ago I was so angry and mad bc I couldn’t do it. I tried so hard and ruined my work so so many times. But trust me, you just have to keep trying. You will do it! You have to believe in yourself. I tried to look on the bright side of crocheting/knitting and it really helped me. Keep going and keep trying, because once you make even one good stitch or two, your going to feel so proud of yourself. Don’t give up. 🙃😁
