HAND KNIT A CHUNKY BLANKET- DOUBLE GARTER

[@ladyhill9744]

This probably the simplest and most informative tutorial I have seen yet. I've recently become obsessed with these blankets and have already made three...not the best but getting there. What I love is I knot the same way you do. Thank you❤

[@PassionKnitCozy]

Thank you for the kindest words!❤️

[@lauraburt8737]

I just finished making this from your video! Great tutorial, love the method of connecting the next strand. Beautiful, I can’t wait to gift it to a wonderful friend!

[@KarenShirey]

Thank you for this tutorial. I am 75 yo and just learning to do the hand knitting. (I'm always late to the party! 🤪) I must say your tutorial is much more helpful than the many I have watched. I have to catch up on your other videos! Happy Holidays! 🙏🏼🦋

[@PassionKnitCozy]

Thank you so much! Happy Holidays!!

​@@PassionKnitCozy I got to the end of blanket didn't like the way the side look so I tried to fix thw side but it won't work right! How do I fix the sides with out taking the whole thi k apart

[@PassionKnitCozy]

@@cwisner7 you can do a border all the way around it. I have a tutorial in my videos for that. 😊

Looks like I'm going to take it apart as the boarder is not lining up

🎉Thanks, Brenda! Your instruction on this was excellent! I finished one for my sister!

[@PassionKnitCozy]

Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it!

[@louise5426]

Thank you, I enjoyed your video .. I have watched a few now and I like how your stitches are a little tighter, it looks much more neat and tidy .. also how you combined your stitch patterns, looks much more intricate and fashionable, not so plain as you usually see, and your demonstration makes it look easy enough to try and not be intimidated or overwhelmed. One last point I'd like to Thank you for is the way you communicate and interact with your viewers 👍🏼Thank you, I'm excited to start one myself and practice, it will be an awesome Mothers day gift! .. 💕Blessings.

[@PassionKnitCozy]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@summerrayne42]

Hi Brenda! As I was working on my very first finger knitting blanket, I discovered some simple tricks along the way. If you gently roll your yarn in a ball, and place it inside a bowl, then your yarn won’t get all tangled while knitting. Also, your working yarn, won’t keep slipping off of the table either. I just wanted to pass this little tip to you and your viewers, and I did subscribe to your channel ☺️! I can’t wait to make another blanket, using this pattern. It looks so fun ☺️!

[@PassionKnitCozy]

Congrats!

[@P_townPrincess]

Brenda, thank you so much. I’ve looked & searched all over KZbin and TikTok, for this pattern and I couldn’t find one single person who was patient, clear in their speaking and consistent. I am so grateful to you, for putting in the effort. I’ll be rewatching this several times, bc it takes me a few tries. Merry Christmas 🎄 happy holidays. Thank you 🙏

[@PassionKnitCozy]

I’m so glad you enjoyed my tutorial. Thank you for the kind words! Merry Christmas!

[@janecorr419]

I've never done one. Looks easy. Can you do a tighter chain?

[@dedewatts6180]

Can you show how to do the double garter blanket with 2 colors?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

I’ll add it to my list.

[@woggled]

when you’re about to come to the end, you cut the yarn and tie your other color and do the same thing. when you want to change colors again you do the same thing

[@PassionKnitCozy]

I use the burn method and do it directly behind the last stitch in the row. Make sure it’s on a knit row then you won’t have the purl dots on your color change.

[@lindajordans7842]

Thank you Very helpful.

[@PassionKnitCozy]

Thanks for the kind comment.

[@aiyanabaptiste1522]

Beautiful design🥰🥰How do you do this pattern with two colors? like how would you add the second color on the next stitch?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

I personally would add the second color on the edge behind the last stitch, that will be a knit row. So you don’t have the purl dots.

[@joyjohnson2647]

Can you show how that is done?

[@coracalagui3961]

I love it no need to too use a crochet hook to make a throw blanket thank you for this tutorial ❤

I have made a few blankets with no tururials lol and they are pretty good but now they can be amazing. How many should i cast for a twin size blanket i made one with 40 cast it fits my king size bed lol. Thank u for the videos i love getting new patterns

[@PassionKnitCozy]

I don’t know the bed measurements, but for 40 inches I do 28 cast on.

[@SNUGGLYKNITDESIGNS]

[@MarieSteiner-k3w]

How many loops would you do for a full size blanket, a twin size blanket? And roughly how many bakes of yarn per blankets? Thank you

[@PassionKnitCozy]

I do blankets by measurements not bed sizes. Some desire over lay etc.

[@MarieSteiner-k3w]

@ thank you

[@connielloyd371]

Hi, love your Tutorials. They helped me learn how to make these blankets. I have one question how do you sew the loops to secure them so they don’t unravel?

I’m glad you enjoy them. Watch my newest video cast off and burn end. 😊

[@connielloyd5006]

Thank you

[@SarahJones-lt8ec]

This is beautiful! I'm going to try this today! Do you have a tutorial on how to use a needle and thread to sew the end after cast off? Also, do you wash and block the blanket afterwards?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

@@SarahJones-lt8ec I do not do either. You can find that in my tips and tricks video.

[@SarahJones-lt8ec]

@@PassionKnitCozy thank you!

[@enitsantiago7022]

Thank you for the video. What are the measurements?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

@@enitsantiago7022 it depends on your cast on chain. For 21 loops it’s approx 30 inches wide- then knit to desired length for baby blanket.

[@SandyHritz]

@brendakay..how many should I chain to make a 50X60 blanket and how many skeins do you think I need? Thank you

[@PassionKnitCozy]

I do about 34 for 50 width. You can measure your cast on chain. If it’s near 45 inches it stretches. How big is your skein size? For Bernat blanket big I use about 7-8. It’s better to have extra of the same dye lot. You can always return.

[@aricacollett263]

Good morning! I'm trying this stitch now. Do I do one regular stitch, then do two purl stitches throughout the whole blanket?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

It’s 2K 2P rows.

[@aricacollett263]

@@PassionKnitCozy is it one or two right off the cast on? That's the only part in confused about. And thank you for the quick response. You're the best!

[@cathytu9927]

I want to do a 70 x 90 twin blanket in the double garde pattern. How many skeins of Berber gumbo 7 chenille yarn

[@PassionKnitCozy]

It really depends on yardage per skein and tension of knitting. Bernat blanket big I use 12.

[@shanonsullivan6981]

hi there, 2 things, why do you flip the chain in the very beginning? and i have always knit the top loop, can you show in slower motion how you knit from the bottom part?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

Check out my beginner blanket video for a slower version. It can make for a smoother chain. Beginners it’s easier to use top loop on chain.

[@starbassima8264]

Hello can you tell me how much loups did you use to start and about how much is big this blanket😊

[@PassionKnitCozy]

It depends on the size you want.

I would do 28, but I knit tight, tension plays a role.

[@dedewatts6180]

@@PassionKnitCozy ok thanks I do tight stitches

[@cindykuehl5150]

I would like to make 2 throws. I order a cse of Bernet yarn, which is 12 skiens. How many base stitches do I start with, and how many rows? Will I have enough yarn?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

I would start with 28 stitches and 6 each should be enough. Worst case you might need one more skein. It depends on your stitching size. You’ll know after one is made. Happy holidays!

[@cindykuehl5150]

Thank you so much! Love your videos!!

[@PassionKnitCozy]

@ Thank you!! Happy holidays!

[@AsteriasHouse]

Hello, I hope you could help me. I bought 6 skeins of yarn, about 220g each, how many stitches should I start with to make a sofa throw blanket. Thank you so much!

[@PassionKnitCozy]

How many yards per skein?

[@AsteriasHouse]

31.7 yards per skein, thank you!

[@PassionKnitCozy]

I knit tight so I do 27-28.

[@AsteriasHouse]

Thank you, and how many rows should it be please?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

Rows depend on your tension. I use a measuring tape to see how long to make it.

[@grace4me0707]

Where do you get the black board you’re knitting on?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

It is an adjustable height lifetime table from Home Depot, with a fitted table cloth.

[@ejanekendig1984]

Does anyone have a pattern for adding sleeves and making this a wearable blanket? 🙏

[@PassionKnitCozy]

You could just add stitches to each side to create that.

[@pamelaweichel1213]

Would it work to add a heart to this pattern?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

Sure

[@sheshe2856]

Hello just caught one of your videos. Do you know how to cast this onto a wood loom instead of using your fingers. Sometimes my hands hurt bad, and I need to use a loom?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

I’m not familiar with looms.

[@joyjohnson2647]

Could you guve the measurements of the finished blanket you showed?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

Approximately 40x60 inches for the green one.

[@LindaRosquin]

Whay do you have to turn the cast on over?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

You don’t have to. Just my preference.

[@anitaprzygocki9350]

How many stitches do you start with for a medium afghan 7 HL skeins?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

I recommend 28 cast on chain. 🥰

[@yajairafeliciano4170]

Would the process for a medium size throw blanket be the same just with 40 stitches at the start?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

When I do 40 stitches to start it’s more like 55 inches width. I always measure about 6 rows up. I suggest 29 for approximately 40 inch width.

[@EASTHETIC_DASUUU]

Are we can sweeter this method

[@PassionKnitCozy]

Thank you

[@JessicaCuevas-y9n]

I am looking to make a 50x60 blanket how many skeins do you recommend I purchase? Also how many stitches you think I should start with? Thanks so much in advance

[@PassionKnitCozy]

It depends on the yards in skein. I do 34 approx for 50 inch.

[@JessicaCuevas-y9n]

I believe hobby lobby is 28 yards each skein?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

I would say approximately 10. I do 7 for 40 inch.

[@janetschmidt3205]

Can you use more than 1 color?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

You can, I’d would do it in a knit row.

[@farrellregina62]

So, cast on is 21; flip chain over; then knit entire row (row2? - I am lost on which is which row). I understand it is a 4 row pattern repeat. When does the 1st row actually begin? so, R2 k22? R3 22; R4 k1 P19 k1 (k1 is the border);R5 k1 P19 k1; R6 k21; R7 K21? I guess I am confused as to which row is actually the beginning of the 4 row pattern. Can you please check to make sure I did this correctly: Thank you Brenda Kay. I am very much a beginner. I am trying to understand how the pattern is written so I can just refer to it as I watch, but ....well, as I said, I am confused to the lingo and the basics. Thank you, Brenda Kay. Regina

[@PassionKnitCozy]

It’s a 2 row knit, 2 row purl pattern. I don’t flip. So first row knit, second row knit, 3rd and 4th row all purls, both edges always knit stitch.

[@nancychristophersen7244]

Hi do you just use 2 skeins for this blanket ?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

No, it depends on what size blanket you want and the yards per skein.

[@kimberlyj4538]

Does it matter that you ended up with 22 loops instead of 21 on the first row? So, do I make 20 loops and one loop on each end?

[@PassionKnitCozy]

It will likely be one inch less wide with 1 less loop on cast on chain.
