HOW TO KNIT A BABY BLANKET / Caron Cake knitting | TeoMakes

👛💗 🥑 🧶 Buy my AVOCADO DYED YARN here:👉🏻etsy.me/2fyr2OE
This pattern is for a baby blanket, it's very easy to knit, good TV watching project 😉
I'm using 2 Caron cakes for this project, the one that's finished is in "strawberry trifle" and the one I'm using to knit the second blanket is "cookies and cream" , love the names!!!
Start: cast on 3 sts and turn your work
Increase section: kfb in the first stitch, knit to the end of row, repeat this row until you finish one Caron cake (200g)
Decrease section: k1, k1 and bind off the first knitted stitch , knit to the end of the row, repeat this row until you are left with 3 sts, cast off
That's it, easy!

I finished my first attempt! It was amazing!

[@nancynewman6592]

This is another interesting way to make the diagonal blanket. I am making my second, and I will stop when I have a small ball of yarn left. The last time I went to the end of the yarn skein, thinking that the second half would use exactly the same amount. I was not finished, and had to stop to make a move between 2 countries. When I picked it up again, months later, I ran out of yarn before finished, which is what someone else has said. The yardage might not be exactly the same but also your gauge could change. If you know you can buy a third skein that is a perfect match (I had used Red Heart Soft for a baby, easy to get more) then you are in luck :) Or you can have fun playing yarn chicken. We all try it! Just plan ahead for how you want to keep your simple but beautiful project SIMPLE!

[@marijam.7646]

I found this answer for making nice border (from 9 months ago) "start with 4sts cast on, knit 2, kfb, k to the end, so you only increase at the beginning of every row, when you're ready to decrease, k2, k2tog, k to the end, so you decrease at the beginning of every row"

The border on the sample blanket is made by increasing (the kfb) and decreasing after 2 or 3 stiches instead of doing it on hte 1st stich.

@@TeoMakes I have a question. I have used this technique for two blankets so far and they both have come out odd shapes, in other words not square. I increased on every row until I was halfway through my yarn then I decreased. Am I doing something wrong? Why can't I make a square? Thank you!

How many stitches are on the needles whenever you begin to decrease?

[@TeoMakes]

that depends on your knitting, but what I like to do is divide my yarn in two and start the decreases once I've finished the first half, in my case I used two skeins so, when I was almost finished with my first skein, I started the decrease section

[@susanteich5006]

Question for TeoMakes: Row One--to make the border, knit two, then KFB, then knit rest of row. Turn the work. Then repeat row One. Is that correct? Your video doesn't address the border.

[@TeoMakes]

yes Susan, depends how wide you want the border you can start with k2, kfb, knit to the end. the blanket I'm knitting for demonstration has no border

[@anniescraps]

Did this work for you? I wanted to make a blanket with the exact same border as the original blanket she made. But I’m a total beginner and it seems like it’s not working.

[@TeoMakes]

anniescraps hi Annie, if you want to make a blanket with a border, all you need to do is start every row with knit 2 stitches, then do 1 kfb (this is a knit front back in one stitch = 1 increase) and then knit the rest of the stitches to the end, turn your work and repeat the same thing until you finish 1 Caron cake. For the decrease section, at the beginning of every row start with knit 2 stitches, then *k 1, knit 1 more and pass the first knitted stitch over the second * (* to * is a decrease ), knit to the end and repeat this until you are left with 3 sts, bind them off

[@sarahanlon4870]

For the orange blanket I've added the border, which means, you start every row with knit4 and then the kfb

Hi Teo, I did the border as knit4, how should I bind off? at 4?

[@aidafernando9443]

Kathleen Vassallo her border on her sample is thicker than what she’s stitching. I wonder how to do the thicker border.

[@cariboukeeper2661]

This is similar to the dish cloth pattern. That one is cast on 4 then k2, yarn over, knit to the end of the row. When you’re decreasing k1, k2 together, yarn over, knit to the end. This creates a 2 stitch border.

[@micheleabdelfattah8423]

What was the border?

[@marijam.7646]

Please, to start decreasing... should i k2, k2tog, or k2, k3rd, k4th and pass the 3rd knitted stitch over the 4th? I am at that stage now... so I would appreciate your answer.

[@TeoMakes]

rama jana depends which one you’re knitting, for the one in the demonstration i knit 1, knit the second and pass the first one over the second, if you’re knitting the one with the border, knit the border ( depending how wide you made the border) and then do the decrease

[@lubnarahman613]

I have 7 balls of Ribbon yarn from hobbii.de in 7 different colors. I want to make this kind of baby blanket for my daughter. The instruction label says that I must use 8mm needle. So in this case, do I still cast on 3 stitches or less or more? Also, when do I start with the decreases?

[@TeoMakes]

Yes, you still start with three stitches cast on and you keep going with increases until you’ve used up half of your yarn, so about 3 and a half skeins, start decreases when you’re half way through your 4th skein

[@lubnarahman613]

Teo Makes Thank you so much for your prompt reply ❤️❤️ I have a silly question.We start we 3 stitches and it progresses as 4, 5, 6, 7..............one stitch increase per line? Can we do a M1 by picking up a stitch? Or it will make the work shapeless?

[@TeoMakes]

Lubna Khan yes, it’s one increase at the beginning of every row and you can use any increase type you prefer, I used kfb because it doesn’t show as much on garter stitch, I have a video with different increases and decreases, you’re welcome to have a look
