Fun fact about making this blanket: If you wear a Fitbit, it will track every stitch as a step 😂 So I got a couple thousand “steps” in while sitting in my bed knitting this last night. Also it only took me like 2 hours and was SO FUN! I just ordered more yarn to make one for my mom. Thank you for this video! Was so easy to follow!

[@janisi9262]

When you join a new skein, instead of cutting off the tails, weave them into your blanket. This way, if your knot loosens (which it likely will if you're using a chenille yarn like the one pictured,) your whole blanket won't unravel. (Source: 20+ years of fiber arts.)

[@84rinne_moo]

Question this yarn looks pretty chunky n solid, could you use a needle n thread to join the ends??

[@janisi9262]

@@84rinne_moo You should be able to weave the ends into the blanket without a needle and thread, but you can give that a shot if you think it'd work well!

[@hildabyui]

Janis what type of yarn would you recommend for this project?

[@janisi9262]

@@hildabyui There are a lot of different, thick yarns out there, but the ones I see the best reviews of have been the brand Loops and Threads. I made a chunky blanket like this with size 35 needles and three strands of Lion Brand Wool-ease Thick and Quick yarn held together. Mine was for a full-size bed and took at least 12 skeins, probably more. If you're going to do this, for the love of pants, wait for sales and coupons!

[@virgobutterfly9981]

Hi, how long is each skein? I looked at some today that are 44m per skein so how many would I need? Newbie here, really want to try this!

[@AnAxeforSolitude]

Just wanted to say thank you for this. I work construction and have no knowledge of these sort of things. I'll admit I had to watch the video several times to get the starting and stopping bit down but I was able to make a blanket that is about queen sized for my aunt in a couple of days. Just wrapped it up actually. She used to have a loom when we were kids and made blankets and stuff for us, but she was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's and is having trouble remembering a lot of things so I wanted to pay her back. Anyway the video helped a lot.

[@dragons8822]

Hoping your Aunt likes the Queen blanket you made for her. With your Aunt having Alzheimers I would of picked her brain 5-10 yrs ago for lots of information on the things that she did & things she made if only for family or to include in your family genealogy. (I've been doing my family's since before 1980 & have lots of information that will go thru the family. Photo's , traditions, hobbys!& much more.) That way the things she did, the information would still be in your family for generations.

[@angelakewin7987]

The blankets that are stupidly expensive are made of a completely different material (wool roving). It pills terribly with frequent use and is not machine washable, so not ideal if you have kids and want to snuggle with them under a chunky blanket. This is a much better option, and way less expensive. Great idea!

[@jamieher2217]

Angela Kewin it's not stupidly expensive when you're using 100% real wool like merino wool. All wool pills, but the pilling makes it look even more vintage farmlike. (The trend most people are going for these days.) Merino wool or other real roving wool have heat insulation benefits that these cheap blankets cannot provide. And these are little knits compared to what real chunky knits look like. If you're going to spend hundreds on a blanket, just take good care of it. And yes, you can actually wash certain wool in a machine.

[@angelakewin7987]

@@jamieher2217 I'm very well aware of the pros and cons of using wool roving for textiles such as this. If I am going to fork over $140ish for a THROW blanket it needs to be durable and relatively easy to "take care of" as you say. That's the whole point of this video.

[@jamieher2217]

Angela Kewin I have a wool blanket and my kids uses it. My pet loves it. So I'm not sure why one would be deem them not durable. It has felted up nicely over the years and I still have it lying around. Probably many people received synthetic wool over the real kind and it fell apart. That's why people are so against roving wool.

[@bballmomma5900]

Angela Kewin Very diplomatic answer 😂

[@julielee4325]

Real chunky knits come from roving. These little knits are nothing compared to the beautiful huge chunky knits. You might as well just call this a knitted blanket because it's not the chunky kind.

[@9kSilverMonique]

here in 2024 using this video as a guide and the yarn is now 23.99 for one bundle (I don't know what it's called). For five bundles I spent $116.

Hi I have a question. Does this blanket come apart easily or does it hold pretty well?? It looks pretty sturdy and I’m just kinda concerned that it would get caught on the corner of my bed or something and the loops would come undone

[@atbvip]

@@aspencook5479 I still have the very first one I made and there’s nothing wrong with it! I’ve had my dogs lay/play on it and it’s still good to go. The way all the loops are connected make it not fall apart as long as you secure the end part well enough.

[@Junglespeed7531]

I’ve made this type of blanket every year for Xmas since I found this video years ago. Although I do a tighter stitch. For me I need a blanket with no holes. I tried the looser stitch you guys show in the video but it didn’t keep as much heat in as I had expected. So I did a tighter stitch with more loops and skanes (?Spelling) and that made it warmer and a better thickness imo. Thanks for the tutorial!

Recently continued working on a blanket I started a few years ago and found that, depending on the size of the blanket, it may be better to make the loops really tight. My first blanket I made with looser loops, but the yarn was so heavy that lifting the blanket on one side (like to cover yourself) pulled the blanket apart. For tighter loops, using a crochet hook is very helpful, especially if you have short nails. I use Yarn Bee “Eternal Bliss” yarn which recommends a 25mm hook, but I found that a deep, 10mm hook works just fine. My first blanket and current project are both king-size, and the crochet hook I use is the Yarnology aluminum crochet hook with a bamboo handle

Wait until they go on sale 50% off 2nd one and then use your 20% off every ! Awesome!

[@cheyd4312]

Ok youtube videos have been blowing my mind all week and this video has been added to the list. Love when i learn something new.

[@anngrab1702]

this was so so so helpful!! i whipped one up in like 1.5 hours! Christmas gifts CHECK!!!✅

[@DivinelyGuided2911]

Wow! Mine is taking all day. And the table was too high so I did it on my lap. It's not perfect by any means but it's pretty. The next one I'll try on a lower table. I'm not ripping this apart. I'll keep it for a yoga throw.

[@monarchmomdiy]

I'm going to definitely make at least one, maybe 10 of these!

[@crismak5864]

My blanket turned out amazing and it will be for my mothers birthday. Thank you so much! God bless you!

[@sharmanewikberg4545]

This is the best chunky blanket video! I’ve watched it several times (only cause it’s months in between each blanket I’ve done lol). This year I am making these for Christmas presents and I’ve made ones to drape over the beds in our new home. Love it!

[@FREETOFAMILY]

*This looks so cozy! I love a good blanket and snuggies! MY GOSH you are so creative! Never too many blankets!!! xoxo*

[@yvettemercadowest5762]

Omg I am so amazed at how easy this was. Thank you for your time and dedication.

[@susannahwoodham2395]

It's casually 99°F outside But I'm legit about to make one of these!

[@jettqk1]

Ditto!

[@samayling9855]

Yup, 116°F for me and yet here I am watching this.

[@triciag3311]

Same!

[@sandiludwig4335]

Susannah Lerch I’ll wait until it’s cold outside and I want to stay inside😀I tried knitting so many years ago, my project was never finished because I had difficulty remembering to count. Maybe this will be easier.👍🏼

[@deannabarnes3771]

I'm in, bring on the hot cider!

[@kelseymaclachlan8733]

Definitely trying it! Can you possibly do a travel video again or even how to purge/ organize Christmas decor I find that so hard to do! Love your channel I've been watching since Carson was a baby!

[@tinawilcox7026]

Thank you so much for simplifiy this beautiful blanket!! I have crocheted blankets for everyone in the family and the one who is the newest member is going to get one of those, mostly because she is this kind artistic style. Not your regular crochet girl...this is perfect!

[@chelseamae7]

Yarn bee eternal bliss from hobby lobby is a great yarn for this! I made a HUGE blanket for my aunt last year from it and it’s 6.99 regularly. I waited for it to be 50% off and used 6 skeins and so it cost about $20 for my full blanket.

[@YuTube-qv3nc]

Thank you so much for this information. Do you know what size your blanket is? looks like hers is 50"x60", but I can't tell for sure.

[@chelseamae7]

Y0u Tube im not sure about hers because at one point it looks wide and short. But if I remeber correctly mine was about that size.

[@YuTube-qv3nc]

@@chelseamae7 Thank you for the information!

[@kennie3017]

That’s great! I’m gonna try to go to hobby lobby sometime to make a blanket Bc the hobby lobby yarn is cheaper lol

[@dianemosley4503]

I love the Yarnbee Eternal Bliss.

[@BeppyCat]

This would be a good way for me to demonstrate to my knitting students what's actually going on while they knit. This is EXACTLY what the needles are helping you do.

[@amygregg1658]

BeppyCat But isn’t this crocheting?

[@irenerichter9974]

@@amygregg1658 crochet finishes each stitch as it's done, Knitting leaves open unfinished stitches, i.e. loops like what the ladies have

[@amygregg1658]

Ahh, that makes sense. Thank you!

[@nicolefranklin1752]

BEST! VIDEO! EVER! I haven't knit anything in my adult years until I made this blanket and I love it! I did 35 loops across and used 10 balls of yarn which made the perfect size blanket for my queen bed

[@sheresehill1074]

Did you do 35 loops length and width?

[@Ash-hm5wt]

literally planning on making one for my girlfriend who loves soft blankets so much. she has around ten of them and can never get enough.

[@rebeccahempe5144]

Thanks for this video. I want to make a chunky style tree skirt fir my vintage looking tree this year.

[@Higuys441]

THANK YOU SO MUCH- I could not crochet at all before this so thank you for making it understandable

[@pattyelsberry7654]

Thank you SO much for this short but priceless tutorial! I just finished mine following your instructions to the letter and it worked out great!!! There is no stopping for me at this point. Chunky blankets for Christmas it is!!!

[@lightswitch8506]

How long did this take??

[@torilittle9051]

I just made my first one!!!!! It turned out so beautiful! I can’t wait to make more!

[@dorisdavis3092]

So much fun making these blankets I used 8 skims of yarn with a chain of 35 many times I combine Teo colors

[@rhondasquires7770]

I love it girls! Thank you for making it so easy! I used twice as much as I’m an Amazon and it still only cost me 36 bucks! I love it. 💕

[@LexaBudexa]

hey! i know this is 3 years later, but would you be able to put the link of which yarn you used from amazon?

[@rhondasquires7770]

@@LexaBudexa lol I never got the yarn from Amazon….I said I’m an Amazon, big girl. I believe I got the yarn at dollar store at that time.

[@swatson108]

I almost bought on yesterday for 100. So glad I found this!

[@jillrudy5599]

I'm going to try it. I can't wait. I practiced on not so thick yarn but I think I got the hang of it for the blanket.

[@kiki29073]

I've been wanting to do these since I first saw them a couple years ago. Thanks!

[@Cornaynay]

Long time crocheter here! Crazy I’m just finding out about hand knit! Takes me weeeeeeeks to get a blanket done while Cho getting. this is amazing. Never met my boyfriends grandma but she lives in Ohio, pretty cold there at the moment so I’m going to run to Walmart tonight and see if the chunky yarn is in stock, and mail it off this week for her ❤️

[@tnegri66]

Did I miss how to fix a mistake?? Y'all are so funny. Thank you for your help. Beautiful babies 💛

[@just_jaz162]

Forget gifts, I'm making one for myself. I love having soft fluffy blankets at home

[@maxstuh]

Thanks for this! Great video and I really appreciate your enthusiasm. :) You made this so easy! After watching your video I went out and bought 10 rolls of yarn as I wanted to make a big blanket. I did 29 rows across, and it worked out so well! Only used 8.5 rolls in the end. I even worked in a second color. My finished project ended up spreading the width and length of a queen size mattress (with no overhang). My holes were a bit too large so I did your finishing method all around and it really helped to make the blanket a bit more sturdy. Can’t thank you enough! Happy Holidays!

[@DecymberBrantley]

Your video helped me a lot! I had to start over a few times on my blanket 😅 but I got it down! I've made blankets for my kids and am doing more ! I love doing it and it's so easy once you get it down.

[@ms.err0r530]

Totally just bought some yarn, I was looking for a new project and the holidays are right around the corner. Michael’s has a 40% off entire purchase coupon right now. So score!

[@megandanielle7862]

I'm going out today and buying yarn for this!! What a great Christmas idea!

[@laurenh8866]

I've made a buisness and found my new favorite hobby because of this! Thank you so much!!

[@carolinacolmenares9915]

where can i buy one?

[@mochalatte665]

I got 6 yarns on a “buy 2 get 1 free” at Michael’s today. It turned out amazing! Took me 3 hours though lol. But worth it!

[@destinygarcia5273]

for 6 yarns how big did it come out?

[@mochalatte665]

Destiny Garcia I can’t give exact measurements but it’s definitely bigger than a single person sized blanket. My boyfriend and I can share the blanket comfortably :)

[@destinygarcia5273]

That’s amazing thank you!! 😁

[@theunlikelyhomeschooler7352]

Abigail Isabelle what size yarn did you buy? I really want to make this but I don’t know which size to buy. Thanks so much.

[@erinreed730]

How many knots/loops did you have on the rows?

[@Green-cm4eb]

I'm not crafty at all but I think I might be able to do this. Great gift idea! Thank you!

[@daisyvaldez3219]

OMGosh this is the easiest shortest video I have seen to make this blanket!!! I love it! Thanks so much!👏

[@clarabradford5712]

I love this project. My sister tried to teach me to crochet but I’m left handed and i just couldn’t get the hang of it. This looks like something that i could do.

[@carolbeea]

Clara, I'm left handed as well. I almost drove a lady crazy as she was trying to teach me to crochet. Everything that I tried would come out backwards. I gave up on crocheting but I have made two hand crocheted throws and it was REALLY easy.

[@staceykersting705]

EASY ANSWER! I'm a lefty, too. Instead of sitting beside the crochet teacher, sit across. If they lay the work on a table so u can see it, you'll pick up on it easily......I've taught over a dozen right-handers to crochet.

[@rihabrazzak9186]

You can search in youtube for stitches that are taught for the left handed people there are plenty of them and very educational

[@bloodcicle3986]

A woman who was left handed taught me to crochet and I can finally do it. I believe the Crafty Lefty here on you tube can help too.

[@YESTOYOURWILL]

Hey.... thanks so much for the video. I made it yaaaay I did do a little more on the initial stitches I did 32 so I can have a bigger one to go across a full size bed and I used a 6.5 bundles. Thanks again 😊

[@smokeykitty6023]

Girl, is there no end to your talents!? I hope you are passing this knowledge down to your children!
