How to Knit a Blanket in Bernat Softee Chunky (CC)

[@saraherrera6917]

Super excited to try this! I always tried for making a HUGE blanket and I end up messing up and can't fix it. So excited to only make small squares at a time. Much easier!

[@robertamc3994]

Love this! Someone else might have mentioned already that when sewing the squares you can use a stitch marker or scrap piece of yarn to temporarily hold the squares together; one at each end and one in the middle. It will help keep it even as you sew… just like pinning and basting with fabric.

I used to knit when I was younger! I recently got into cross stitch which I absolutely love but it requires a bit more concentration than I’d like to give it sometimes 😂 I’m gonna make this blanket with some color variations! Thanks so the video, it was super helpful 🥰

[@rebeccadees2300]

Excellent tutorial. This will be a great project for me to use all my bulky yarn. Thank you for sharing your tutorial.

[@kasmaineheyoka540]

I've never attempted to try and knit, I only crochet. I can't wait to try this. Thank you so much!

[@rebelrose7337]

Thank you for this fantastic tutorial. You are awesome with your instructions and explanations!!! Thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@katrinac.141]

This is a wonderful tutorial! I feel like trying to knit again lol. I can crochet but never could pick up knitting. Going to give it another try now!

Katrina C. Same for me lol

[@knitknack2285]

I did it! Now I have to sew it together 😂 thanks for the video. It helped a lot.

Greetings from London. Just discovered your tutorial I'm hooked. So simple to follow. Your cast on version is the best I've seen. Thank you so much for being here. So excited to start knitting with you. Can't wait to search your cable knit tutorial as I want to knit a chunky hat for my sister. You're amazing. Going to share you with the girls in my knitting group at work. Subscribed!😘

Hello! :) What gauge needles do I need for this project? I know you said 14 in long but what size. Thank you!

[@rohanadewa]

Thanks

[@erin5378]

Omg I love this best begginer tutorial I have seen . I want to make a blanket can I use any yarn or do I need the one like you use in the video.

[@SackinaGoulbourne]

How many patches did she make for the blanket. And how many stitches and rows she do.

[@stepherrsse]

Is there any way to add a border to a blanket like this?

[@iloveknitting4497]

It’s a *great* idea to knit a blanket and send it to Australia. We are 5 days into 2020 and half of the country is burning down. Half a billion animals have tragically died, and blankets are being accepted for the animals that barely managed to escape but got sent to veterinary centres.

[@ruthcleland5499]

I am at present trying this pattern and finding it very trying, it is not matching the video and despite following the pattern by Bernat and getting the exact amount of wool and the us#11 straight needles the about of gray heather and taupe don't seem to be the right amount for knitting the 7 squares in each color I just barely got the 6 squares in the contrast c color. Is it possible that Bernat goofed on this pattern. What would you suggest.

[@ratsoft]

Wow I never could figure out how to fix those weird double things! The fact that it’s called tink is so funny

I'm making a blanket, 9 squares x ? (don't know yet!) My squares about about 6" each. Having fun! I didn't even know how to knit about 2 months ago.

Hello! Thank you so much for the tutorial, it was very clear! I do need help with buying my yarn; as a beginner I'm still very confused. Does it have to be a specific length? Where can I find that information?

Beautiful edges. Is that just straight knitting hold the first stitch taught?

Oh I actually have size 7 In the knit picks birch are a 6 and size 7 nickel plated can I make this with these either or?

[@Oldies73510]

You’re channel is my favorite for sure... you have a gift for teaching ♥️ do you have any tips to making the squares more even? I feel like I’m following every step and mine just don’t come out as neat and perfectly square as yours...?

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Hannah Sprague I’m so sorry I just saw your comment. If you are being consistent on your stitch count your work should even out when you stitch the squares together. You can also wet or steam block them to square them up afterward. The more you practice knitting the more consistent your knitting will become on tension and gauge

[@9999-r9b]

hello Dear I like the way you teached make easy understand specialist for Beginner learn knitting like me .Thank So much Dearest

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Thank you so much for your kind words :-). All my best to you on your knitting journey

[@moviesaremylife1]

wait, what do you do with the tail? Like the tail at the beginning? Also when you come to the end of attaching the two squares together, how to you finish? Do you just tie and knot and then weave the tail through?

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Minute 00:26:19 shows what to do with tails. Use for beginning or ending tails. After you come to the end of attaching you can weave in with the same technique. You don’t need to tie a knot. If you have a long enough tail to weave in then it should be secure enough when woven in well.

[@moviesaremylife1]

Nice tutorial.. thanks😊

[@daraskelcher1875]

Are you using an 8mm circular knitting needle? and what is the length you are using?

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Yes I used circulars. The cable was actually too long for the project but really on a small project like this it doesn't matter. a 16"-24" length would work well. Thanks for asking! :-)

Hi, so excited to find you. I would love to try this but your link for the pattern goes to an "error" page. Is there another way to get the pattern. I'm a new knitter so I would need to have the pattern as a reference. Thank you, Vivian

Can you make this blanket with a loom?

[@ruthcleland5499]

My strips won't go together. The stitches are all identical going across instead of showing the off set that the video is showing, each strip matches the pattern in the video, what is going on? Is this pattern and video true or false! I've had nothing but problems since trying this pattern!

[@GoodKnitKisses]

@@ruthcleland5499 try turning over the sample to match up.

[@ruthcleland5499]

@@GoodKnitKisses I have turned them and flipped them and nothing worked, I've had to take everything apart and putting it together all separately. This pattern did not work out for me and I followed it all!!

[@adampaszti-toth5023]

Knitters; do you count the cast on as a row? 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m just lost. I’ve been trying to knit for sooo long and just keep coming up with questions

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Adam Paszti-Toth not generally. Most patterns will state a row or round 1. Also in some patterns will have a setup or foundation row/round. It really depends on the pattern maker how to word it.

[@adampaszti-toth5023]

GoodKnitKisses aw thanks for replying! I’m a bit thick, with this pattern, is the cast included in the rows?

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Adam Paszti-Toth no. The cast on is not included in the rows. Now if your pattern states to work until a measured length then you include the cast on in that measurement.

[@adampaszti-toth5023]

GoodKnitKisses fabulous thank you so much!

[@petraortega3091]

I’m getting about 10 inches with 30 stitches is is because of my needle size? I’m using a US size 13 or 9.0mm

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Petra Ortega hi there! Like me you are probably just a tight Knitter; I was a bit tighter knitter like you when I started. Try going up to a size 15 OR don’t change and simply make another column of 10x10 squares. Since you are short on each square by 2” then across all four columns you’ll be short by 8”. So just add a column so your final blanket will be 50” wide. From top to bottom lay out your new column like the following: C (horizontal), B (vertical), A (horizontal), C (vertical), then at bottom B (horizontal). It is much like the 2nd column but the directions are reversed. On the ridges. I hope that helps!

[@Holliiscrazy]

Cast off 17:57 :)

[@SkateDontHateuk]

What if I use 6mm needles?

[@GoodKnitKisses]

You will need to cast on more stitches to get the squares the same size. You'll need to make at least a 4x4 swatch and count how many stitches per inch. Then estimate from there how many more you'll need. OR If you want to make with same cast on then you will need more squares to make your blanket. If that is the case you'll need likely one more column of C, B, A C, B plus across the bottom you'll need another row of C, A, B, C, followed by A to make up for the extra column. SO make at least 3 A's, 3 B's, and 4 more C's on top of the one's called for in the pattern.

[@SkateDontHateuk]
