OMG! I did it, Rita!! I'm 45 and I've always wanted to learn to knit or crochet and just never have. I am so full of appreciation!❤ It's appreciative and a zest for more. Thank you so much, you're a great teacher. xo

[@user-zv4hv1hh4q]

Oh yeah I see what you mean,Thank you for showing us this how to! Very appreciative!! I know how to knit and crochet!

[@rosieedear]

the tutorial starts at 8:30 :] what you need is your hands and: 4 skeins for a lap throw 6 for a twin or single bed 8-10 for a king or queen (those are sort of estimates)

[@aramrz6120]

Thank you. I hate the talking , I just want to learn how to do it.

[@MsTinaann]

thank you no one really says how many you need for other sizes. I hate doing math lol

[@freedomofreligion3248]

You're the first person to effectively, successfully TEACH ME this knitting stitch! Victory! Thanks, Rita. You bring so much satisfaction to my life.

[@tammiguzman8317]

Right! I've watched so many and this is the 1st video where her "excessive talking " didn't bother me one bit! And she was the 1st to explain how to make this blanket to where I'd understand it including a straight forward answer on how many skiens it takes for what size you want. Instead if giving some weird formula that I don't know how anybody understands

[@miss.conduct8083]

ME TOO!!

[@jennifergordon80]

I started watching this video yesterday and today I can say I finished my blanket thanks to your amazing and helpful video. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank you

[@jennifergordon80]

And it took me 6 hours to finish! Next time it’ll be better!

[@alexisyorke5434]

I GET IT!!!! I FINALLY GET!!! This is something I’ve wanted to do for years but felt intimidated and frustrated with this craft! YOUVE MADE THIS SO EASY AND EXPLAINED SO WELL!! Thank you thank you thank you!!🎉🎉

[@MissRitaToTheRescue]

Thank you so much for your kind words!!

Timestamp to first stitch 11:36 just to help me find it again because I've successfully made 4 blankets now but with each one I refer back to your video. Thank you so much for Teaching me how to finally do this!

[@miss.conduct8083]

Smart idea ;)

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Thank you for teaching us this, Rita!! Who doesn't want to learn new arts & crafts? My 90-yr-old Mom, who now lives w me, will LOVE receiving a few of these lovely throws! 💘 Yay!! Will love iron-on later, too. Rita, your alcohol ink cards were one of the prettiest ones I've seen anywhere--loved your choices there.

[@usharajasingham2351]

Thank you Rita for explaining it so well. I am blind and was able to follow the instructions well. I’ll make one for me and if I get it right, I will make one for my 93 yr old mom and her friend too. Thank you so so much and God bless

[@bethtrent8869]

So awesome! I'm so excited to start my new project. I must admit I was a little scared to try this; but you made it look easy. So thank you for that. I was taught to crochet with my fingers when I was about seven years old. They had to retrain me how to crochet with a hook. I never could get the hang of knitting. So this is so nice. After I get good at this, I'm going to teach my grandkids so we all can have a good time together making something nice instead of video games and TV!!!! Thank you so much 😊

[@user-zv4hv1hh4q]

My Mom used to make 23:57 heavy sweaters and regular sweaters, baby clothes and socks, silppers,! Knit 1 pearl 1 !!😊😊😊😊

[@majchrzak9012]

Love soft and warm blankets/throws 💕 I need to get some of this yarn. Throws make great gifts.

[@cempowered2973]

Thank you I actually did it with your easy instructions. I made a blanket !

[@sandradee5852]

This is my first time at a chunky blanket. I'm going to try it this week with the help of your video. I find you explain things out very well and appreciate your knowledge and sharing your craft with me. Wish me luck!!

[@Rhondamartin-c5x]

Thank you! Making my first one in 30 years!

[@mac_sauna]

I've watched so many videos on how to do this but nothing can compare to this one! You taught me the stitch and I made an 8' x 5' blanket for the first time with this tutorial!! Thank you ❤️

[@chanalynavila5031]

How much yard did you use?

[@surgicaltechcrafter2169]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I did my first blanket 12 Skeins 🙀. It is a quad color yarn. I absolutely loved your tutorial. I made a few mistakes and was able to fix it without having to take the entire blanket apart. I have a slight arc to my first row I think I made it to tight to begin with but for a first try thanks to your CLEAR instructions I call it a Success.

[@conniemonroe3360]

I made one for my daughter for her birthday and one for my new great granddaughter. So fun!!

[@patriciagamble5466]

This is really nice and will make a great gift for someone-thank you for this easy but looks very comfy *I would love to wrap myself in this blanket-thank you for this wonderful tutorial-have a great day Miss Rita-hugs

Hi Rita! Once again I’m going broke because of you. Lol! Just bought some yarn to make a blanket for my first grandson. Thanks for doing what you do🙂

[@michaelatopalov1990]

Your video was the only one that I understood how to end the blanket. Thanks!

[@MissRitaToTheRescue]

Glad it helped!

[@user-zv4hv1hh4q]

Slip knot ,my Dad was in the Navy in WWII and he taught me the slip knot many year's ago!

[@PatiencesMom]

The BECOZI lady suggest you make a knot at the very end. To avoid freying.

[@fthorpe]

Thank you for showing how to do this! I'm making one for my Grandson - Grey and Maroon stripe!

[@mehjesty6895]

so so helpful! i’ve never knitted before yet this was so simple to understand :)

Hi Rita, In a beggner, Idont know hoe to knit or crochet. So I bought a skein of the yarn your using. Wish me luck! And thanks for your easy tricks! .❤

[@MissRitaToTheRescue]

You can do it!

[@traciparker1963]

Thank you for teaching this craft. Great tutorial. I would like to make a blanket about 36”x60”. Do you know how many balls of big blanket yarn I would need? Thank you 🌷

[@darlenesettles3102]

Beautiful, Lovely,. Relaxing You are a good teacher!!! Peace @ Life

[@user-zv4hv1hh4q]

Some people burn the ends and fuse them together which looks so nice !

[@raenard2]

I loved this video and every detail of what could happen and how to fix it.

[@surgicaltechcrafter2169]

Thank you Miss Rita for this tutorial. I am going to give this one a go next. Do you have an arm blanket tutorial?

I have rheumatoid arthritis I am hoping this is good exercise for my hands?

U make it look so easy I have my grand daughter out buying me yarn as I speak to get some of thanks so much for the video to teach me what to do cause I have never made one of these

[@MissRitaToTheRescue]

Go slow and you will get it. It’s not difficult at all.

[@charlenetown8194]

What is the trick to keep the yarn loop up, usually the loop slips thru before I get across?

[@pollyknehr1007]

I have looked at this yarn so many times. Now I am going to have to try this. I crochet and the only knitting I do is with the Kniffy Knitter loom which I love. I even use them to teach my second graders how to ‘knit’. I watched the replay and didn’t catch if you said how big a 4 ball blanket would be-approximately. Thank you for your channel. I enjoy it so much although I have to catch the replay.

[@MissRitaToTheRescue]

The four ball creates a very generous throw that will cover one person nicely.

[@rwhelan7449]

@@MissRitaToTheRescue so, can you measure this for me?

[@julieallison8508]

Very pretty! I'm curious to why some hand knitters will turn the chain around then loop, or even skip first loop? Is there any difference really between finished projects?

[@lisawebster1651]

I am going to try this out see how it turns out for a scarf :)

[@samanthabrown3632]

Great video just a little too much unnecessary talking in the beginning with all due respect. Very neat and beautiful work ♥️

[@Jessstar2424]

You do know you can skip forward. I enjoy the information and it is her video to format as she pleases.

Loved doing this project in a few hours had a really nice soft throw I made with my own two hands and 4 skeins of Walmart Mainstays Chenile Heathered yarn I got for $12. I really appreciate your presentation.

[@user-wn8tu8qc5i]

A Big thank you I love the tutorial I've never made one before I'm a beginner and I found it so easy to make and follow happy new year 2024 from Pauline Brown in Wales UK

[@TheChocolatediamond8]

Well explain I love it.

[@julieann2289]

Somehow I'm adding a stitch on every row.

[@beckypilcher4333]

I have 10 grandchildren!!! I crocheted a blanket using the big blanket yarn but this year i am going to try to get the other ones done by hand crocheting! how long does it usually take for twin size blanket? do you chain 30 or 35? how many skeins of yarn do you think it will take? I think in your video you said 4 this is the best video i have found showing how to make the blankets thank you

[@dennislee136]

helped so much😊

[@user-zv4hv1hh4q]

Yes I m definitely going to try this, I m not sure how much the yarn will be here in Ontario Canada! But if its about $10.00 in the US its going to be about $ 13.00 or $15.00!😊

[@daizybugs219]

Great teacher!

[@DreamBig2240]

Do you think a5 year old could make this simple project? Also, I’m going to order from Cricut but I don’t see your link so you can get credit for it. This isn’t the first time I haven’t seen your link on KZbin. Is it not being posted anymore or do I need to go to Facebook to find it?

[@flutterby83jam]

Need to try this

[@maribelalgarin9750]

Miss Rita I have a question, when you loop the last loop in a row, is the next loop you make at the same loop you just made or the loop next to it? Thank you.

[@RandomChick666]

I just purchased 4 skeins! Let's goooo!!!

[@daisytrochegonzalez1350]

Do u have a pattern using this technique for a Christmas tree floor rug?

[@juliaottum8617]

Have never done this before but I will try wish me luck. Thank you

[@LauriPowalyk]

Couple of questions, Mine is curved at the beginning, How can I prevent that? Also, can you wash these blankets>

[@delorescarvalho8756]

Thanks so much! I luv it... so so easy!

Ohhhhhh love you are slipping in a craft here and there! Love this lap throw! Gotta get me some chunky yarn! Now!

I have never knitted before. I’m making the chunky blanket. My blanket seems to be curving it doesn’t go straight across. What did I do wrong?

[@bonniehallmark3249]

Your video was super thank you so much Merry Christmas 🎄🙏

[@roxannharrod1466]

Can you use an extra large crochet hook?

[@user-zv4hv1hh4q]

Is this in Canada 🇨🇦 you ate talking about the price of the yarn!??

[@morgancollins388]

Thank you! Great tutorial. I started with say 20 stitches and they seem to keep growing. I started with 4ft width and now its 6ft. What am I doing wrong? I need to take it all apart bc I feel like I am wasting so much yarn. I was aiming towards for a 4x4 blanket. How many stiches and rows do you do for a typical throw?

[@leish_dee]

Ahh, this happened to me except that it went from 5 (even that was ambitious for the width my first try) to over 7 feet... I'm going to unravel it. 😂

[@shauna9457]

Me too. What did you find you were doing wrong?

[@rachelbrown8155]

Question please! The ends of my blanket keep being too loose. How can I keep this from happening?

Hi, how many stitches can one skein do?

[@karasowders4012]

How do add new yarn mid way through?

[@rosefraley8629]

I am left-handed how do I do it left-handed trying to make something with this chunky yarn I'm trying to figure out how to do it because my mom bought this and she didn't know how to do it so she hands it to me like I know how to do it

[@MissRitaToTheRescue]

I am left handed by birth but I knit using my right hand so I just did that. I’m sorry I can’t help you further.

[@annpalumbo7497]

Can you tell me why you make your chain from right to left. I make it from left to right

[@rosefraley8629]

What is your left handed and you're trying to make something with it with your left hand how do you do that

[@robinfullerton7000]

My blanket stretched out so much from my beginning. Did I do something wrong?

[@cindyfields1611]

Great, great video!!!!!

[@sharoneltzholtz5707]

Will the end unravel when washed

[@user-pd4fs9gg4q]

Is this type of crocheting recommended to use a solid working surface?

[@MissRitaToTheRescue]

This is knitting. I prefer to do it on a flat surface, but it could be done in your lap.

[@annpalumbo7497]

I'm making a blanket for my grandson to take to college and I made my chain 35

[@maureenlocke3641]

How many loops do you put on to make a queen size bed

[@MissRitaToTheRescue]

I would probably double it…so maybe 50-60 stitches?
