Easy Peasy Knitted Baby Blanket Part 2

[@Sheliya-98]

Made my first blanket with these videos. 💙 definitely make more! You’re great at explaining & simplifying

[@graminbossier]

I’m a novice knitter. But I was able to follow your direction perfectly. Thank you for your detailed explanations!

[@asabharwal6517]

Thank you so much for a slow succinct description- I have not knitted in over 30 years. I am planning on making this for my grandbaby coming this November. Thank you!

[@maggiemay3017]

Thank you for this easy knit pattern. I'm knitting it now and the idea is like the C2C crochet blanket I've made many of. 3rd time trying knitting is the charm--I can see where I'm at when I pick it back up--that was always a problem in my previous attempts at knitting.

[@crochetlover1]

Thanks for this video! I made a baby blanket for my new grandson who is arriving on September / 30/2022 watching your video! You are a great teacher. I’m a beginner knitting.

[@jackieburlington4822]

Thank you. Watched both parts 1 & 2. Very detailed and easy to follow instructions., And because of his I am halfway through making a sample baby blanket just to get my confidence up and it's looking AMAZING 🥰. SO THANK YOI XX

[@lynnjew1387]

I missed the first part

[@lynnjew1387]

I need to watch the first part

[@arlmcl6083]

Thanks so much for the video. I haven’t knitted in over 30 years and I am a beginner so will try this.

[@jarcand55]

Thank you so much i dint know what I would have done without this video such a cute blanket I made

[@sallyharrolle5203]

Awesome video. This is the pattern that I make my dish clothes with. Love it and so easy!!!!! Thanks!!!!!

[@arlmcl6083]

What wool do you use to make your dish clothes?

[@colleensmith3374]

Thank you so much for showing us this very easy to follow pattern! My 1st baby blanket of 3 for my future grandkids:) Not needed anytime soon, but will be ready! love from Colo

[@peaches7551]

Oh my gosh, luv my blanket, luv you for sharing and being YOU Hope you have more awesome tutorials for us new knitters Thanks so much

[@michellegooding5670]

Great videos. I'm going to give this a try. Thank you.

[@joylaurel1993]

The finished size would be helpful and a pic thank you love it x

[@susieoseguera4009]

Ya it would

[@curecrewgal]

Just found your videos - I am going to try to make this - just did 2 dish cloths with this pattern !! Thank you

[@kathylegg1033]

Thank you for this pattern..love it..have used it a few times..

[@andreanaabigail8004]

How long does it take you to finish a blanket? I'm currently doing this pattern and I feel like I'm the slowest knitter ever

[@rain3743]

Thanks for this awesome video.

[@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ]

Glad you liked it!

[@tmyrose7396]

such a great teacher for us beginners.

[@fatimekoulibaly8735]

You are awesome. Thank you so much for your help.

[@patriciakeefe5646]

Just a gentle reminder that in the written instructions for the decreases, you forgot to write the YO.....eg.....K2, K2 TOG, YO, K2 TOG, then K to end. Right?

[@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ]

Thank you so much!!! I appreciate the help...got it fixed💕

[@jocelinerivers4242]

Where can one get a printable pattern? Thank you.

[@janetdcruz595]

Beautiful work will give it a try, thnks so much

[@manjulakumar1461]

Nice video I started the blanket When to start decreasing I am little confused

[@karenpatterson6101]

Beautiful pattern! What is the finished size of the blanket?

[@CatalinaTTate]

Thank you for your detailed explanation. I followed the instructions but now is not a square blanket. It has 2 round nice corners and two pointy corners (this is where I began and finished) it does not look pretty

[@X_Xthedreamer]

Is there a picture of the final project? I’m knitting this now and have no clue how it will look when it’s done.

[@brenda19601]

Am really enjoying knitting this blanket. Perfect pattern for a first try. And your instructions are so easy to follow. But I do have a question. We add 1 stitch per row until we have 207 stitches. If we take 2 stitches off per row, won’t we have half as many rows in the second half of the blanket?

[@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ]

I’m so glad you are enjoying the pattern!! Great question!!! You are decreasing 2 but you still are increasing 1…so it works out the same…

[@brenda19601]

Thank you

[@ramonalong3997]

Good job

[@nymfodoradimitriadou1847]

hello! Thank you for your video, out of all the videos i looked at it was the one that actually made me get it instantly! thank you so much! one question though, i have normal needles not like yours with that sort of tube i see.. so what happens when you have so many stitches on your needle you can't fit no more?how do you keep going?

[@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ]

Nymfodora Dimitriadou unfortunately you have to do this blanket on needles like I’m using in the video...

[@LaurenDeveson]

I’m knitting in a 3 ply with size 4 needles - should I increase the rows Thanks !!

[@RyleeJett-nk3ys]

It sounds great in theory but I am not the best at keeping the yarn on the needles and keep having to start over is there something I can do so I don't lose 2 or 3 rows by dropping stitches?

[@susanfryer1616]

Very nice

[@mackwatkins6372]

I use a crochet hook to bind off. I knit onto the hook and pull through the previous stitch until one is left.

[@susieoseguera4009]

I don't know what I did wrong but my blanket came out looking like a triangle 📐

[@craftygurlrocks]

Hello! Do you have a video on how to change yarn color with this pattern? I have almost run out of yarn while making this piece and would love to change colors!

[@tracymackay4468]

I’m I’m an extreme newbie to knitting! Love the videos. I’m almost to 207 stitches and wondering why when we knit first 1/2 we increased the stitches by 1 with the decorative stitch but when decreasing we decrease 2 stitches each time?

[@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ]

Good question! As you start the decrease if you only decrease by 1 and yarn over by 1 you are not adding or taking away so the blanket will stay the same width...ask me how I know...I had not made this blanket for a while and when I went back to it and got to the decrease I forgot the 2nd decrease and couldn't understand why it wasn't getting any smaller...had to rip back about 3 inches of work when I figured it out!

[@tracymackay4468]

Thanks… that makes total sense

[@brybry98]

Thank you for asking this! I was racking my brain at the 3/4 mark wondering if the decrease half would be smaller

[@evettelou]

Hi Thanks so much for this, as a beginner I love my blanket, your instructions were so easy to follow. I’m now keen to make a smaller one in another colour. Do I just half the number of stitches then start to decrease?

[@Coreyj06]

She hasn’t commented so I figured I’d drop my thoughts… that is a good idea going in but also mesure it when it gets to half the stitches. Make sure it’s the size you want.

[@xxjenshotxx]

Quite late to the party here, but in the first video the instructions were to knit to whatever size you like (measuring from corner to needle) as long as you end on an odd number of stitches.

[@rain3743]

Can you explain why we need an odd number? I am totally new to this and myh yarn is bulkier, so it built up fast and I don't need as many. But why an add number?

[@sharibernstein846]

can I make it smaller than ending after 207 stitches on the needle or will that change the blanket?

[@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ]

Should not be a problem just end on an odd number and start decreasing and you should be fine!

[@sueritchie7985]

Thank you so much for this video, so clear and informative. I want to make tiny blankets for our micro preemie babies. They need to be 21-25 inches square. What size is the blanket in your video? Would you be able to tell me how many stitches I need to make one this small? Thank you so very much!

[@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ]

That is so beautiful!! The finished blanket is approx 30” square…so I’m not sure the exact number of stitches you would need but when the piece measures 21-25 inches just begin your decrease at that point…you are working on a diagonal so across the center is where the decrease begins and is the total size. Hope that helps!

[@sueritchie7985]

@@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ Thank you so much! I've collected my yarn and ready to give it a try. Got your video marked, so I can refer back to it. Thank you again!

[@sueritchie7985]

I meant to tell you, I also learned to knit in 5th grade. My neighbor had a sleeping party and her mom taught us all how to knit. We made house shoes! I've never forgotten what she taught me. Such a sweet memory.

[@jodi3077]

I'm a fairly experienced knitter but I am having a hard time fully understanding your directions. It seems you are saying one thing and yet doing something different. I get rows 1 and 2, but you lose me on row 3. Are you simply knitting to the end of the row? If so, how are you showing another loophole at the end of the row in the next section. Does that not require a 2nd yarn over near the end of the row?

[@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ]

It is confusing but yes I’m knitting to the end…the loop is formed from the row before yo. So only yarn over at the beginning of the row

[@lalithakrishnamurthilal5004]

Where is this blanket part 1.please let me know as I am planning to knit a new born baby who is expected a blanketwho iand also let me know how many stitches needed for a baby blanket.thanks.

[@tompkeil]

Love your videos so easy to understand. Can you please tell me what type of yarn is best? I thought you mentioned Baby Sport as well as Lion brand. Also can you tell me the amount that would be considered the largest skein? I might be ordering online. Thank you so much

[@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ]

I'm not really married to the brand of yarn I use...I like to feel it and then choose..as far as how much...the skeins I buy are usually 5 oz. and I use about 1-1.5 skeins per blanket...hope that helps!

[@tompkeil]

@@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ Thank you so much! Looking forward to trying this

[@knittingbunai]

very nice design

[@priscillaboatman5682]

Hello, I need help. I misheard you on the number of stitches and I knitted 221. Do I proceed as instructed for 207 stitches?

[@andreanaabigail8004]

Just curious how your blanket ended up?

[@triciaotoole4721]

Thanks for sharing

[@ernestinemartinez6942]

Is there a yarn over in the beginning of the decrease row???? This is confusing

[@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ]

There is …the yarn over gives you the hole in the pattern…that’s why you have to knit 2 tog 2x to make up for the 1 you add

[@mishamulchandani2000]

How big is the finished blanket? My grandson grew faster then I expected😂

[@mariadelalla8862]

Can I follow the decrease pattern if I shorten the number of stitches on circular needle??

[@emilyangell9912]

hello Ma'am what if you run out of yarn when doing this step? How can you add more yarn?

[@krischanda4380]

My wife is making that blanket.can she add a different color to the blanket

[@tomasmartin185]

Yes

[@rain3743]

Question: How do you know how many stitches you need? As in, "You need 207 stitches?"

[@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ]

It's just what the pattern calls for...you can make it any size but knit to an odd number since we cast on an odd number.

[@Jaragreene]

Can you make this blanket doing a different stitch with the same holed pattern?

[@allisonpayne6382]

Can you make it any length as long as it's an odd number?

[@jesycacarbajal3675]

I think so, she replied to somebody else who asked and she said as long as we end in an odd number, we can decrease after the preferable size we are looking for. I also want to make it bigger, for me haha.

[@patostafichuk9123]

Can you make your border bigger like 5 or 7 stitches for the border?

[@juleighroberts]

What size circular needles did you use?

[@theresaaragona2572]

Thank you for this pattern! I would like to make another blanket but smaller in size. How many stitches should I use? I knit very loose and I believe that is the reason my blanket has turned out so large. Should I go to a size 7 needle? Thank you very much!!

[@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ]

I would just add stitches until you like the size of it the begin your decrease...just make sure it is an odd number of stitches...smaller needles will also help. Happy knitting!

[@isabellecox1818]

@@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ i think im going to end mine smaller too cause the baby I'm knitting it for will be born in 2 weeks and I'm a very slow knitter

[@rain3743]

@@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ I'm totally enjoying it, as a complete newbie. I have "Post-traumatic Crafting Syndrome" (PTCS) from being shut down for my lack of "crafting abilities" my entire life. (Seriously, I NEVER like my projects) Anyway, so far it's really cute and I am almost ready to decrease it. I don't even care if it's perfect. I am just enjoying it and will let my granddaughter have it for her dollies, if it's not that nice when I am done. SO far, it's really cute.

Can you please tell me how big the blanket should be i am now making it in aran wool. I dont want to make it too small.

Hai. TQ so much for sharing.. How many hours/how many days estimate to finished this blanket?

Just depends on how much time I have to work on it...I am a slow knitter but I can get a blanket done in a week if I concentrate.

[@blueroan1000]

How much yarn is in the big skein? I've tried to find out how much yarn is needed and I'm missing that information. Where do I look to see that?

It takes a little over 1020 yards…just depends on your tension
