How to Knit: EASY Chunky, Double Seed Stitch Knit Throw Blanket

[@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.

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

Any chance you have any information on the best place to send them? I would love to help and to share!!

[@iloveknitting4497]

Lunar Knits by Lori there’s a place in Queensland but I’m not sure if they accept them yet, but there’s a number you can call 1/28 Burnside Road Ormeau QLD 4208 Australia 1300 682 838 [phone] (Outside Australia)

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

Thank you for passing this along!! I’m going to work on some more research and hopefully I can help out!

I am from the uk and i can not get hold of the typ of wool you are using any advice thank you

[@judyj7925]

I've made two of these blankets and I love the stitch. First time I doubled it and second time I didn't. I used the Bernat blanket yarn (6). So so soft. They were gifts and they loved it. Starting another right now.

[@jc64333]

May I ask, how did the blanket that you didn’t double look? Was it still as nice as the doubled one?

[@denisebailey6336]

I am a beginner in Knitting and I really like all of the things that I have seen so far. Thank you for this video on how to make this double knitted Throw Blanket. I am going to try and do this next.

Great video going to try this for sure just ordered my 36 us needles.... cool pattern also thks

Beautiful! I look forward to making one🧶💝

[@littledodge5692]

It’s an Irish Moss pattern. I’ve used this for scarves for my dad. I’ve never done it with two balls of yarn at once but good to know that works well for making blankets.

[@thelifeofjonnelleohtv3168]

None of the info you said would be in the description box is in the description box 🙄😒

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

I linked my blog. All the information is on my blog.

[@WhatTheHellRachelle]

Lunar Knits by Lori What is the finished size of this blanket? Your blog just said “This blanket isn’t approximately 40inch x 40inch before blocking.” If it ISN’T 40x40, what is it? I really appreciate your efforts in teaching us how to make this beautiful blanket, but some of us are new to knitting and more information would be helpful. How many skeins do we need? Instead of doubling our yarn, can we used a yarn that has the same bulk as the two of these together? If so, would the seed stitch still look as nice as your method does? Thank you for help! ❤️😊❤️

[@Frost-mv4pz]

@@WhatTheHellRachelle I'm new to knitting as well, but I have done some research, and bulk+bulk=new bulk, they can be added together and the size can be used for that. I think it would give a different result, as everytime you would do a stitch, it would only be 1 throw and not 2. I still think it would look amazing and super squischy though.

[@pallmall5014]

@@WhatTheHellRachelle I agree!

[@aimeelee76]

@@LunarKnitsbyLori Well, that's inconvenient. Also, it's fewer stitches, not less stitches. Fewer is for countable items, less is for things that aren't countable.

[@richie5784]

Great video! I just started a blanket using thick n quick lion's brand wool, and size 13 circular needles. I am about 8 rows in and noticing that my blanket is twisting. Should I stop or is this normal? I have 186 stitches. Could my circulars be too short? I am using 29in circulars.. Should I be on 36" needles to avoid the twisting? (to clarify- my stitches aren't twisted, its just my project that is twisted)

[@jaylord_1993]

I like they way you explain specially for beginners easy to understand. Thank you

Hi its my first time enjoying your work. Very helpful

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@kristintorra5792]

Making this now. Very easy, so soft. I'm using bernat baby blanket yarn chunky and Size 17 needles.

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

I’m so happy you’re living it! It has to be so squishy with that yarn! 😍

[@Grace-gk9og]

did you need additional balls of yarn for the project or did you have yarn left? if you had yarn left, about how much was left and how long was the ball of yarn initially?

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

For a blanket this size I used 2 skeins of yarn held together. Each skein was 223 yards. I had about 1/4 of each skein left. Hope this helps!

[@ashface0169]

Lunar Knits by Lori If I wanted to make my blanket size a little bit bigger than 40x40, how would i figure out how many additional cast on stitches to add? I have 2 skeins of yarn, each skein is 431 yards. I would like to use as much of my yarn for the blanket but if I put too many cast on’s and run out, is my blanket then ruined?? Sorry for all the questions, I’m a beginner to knitting. Also very great video, your blanket came out so beautiful!! Thanks :)

Thank you for the pattern and instructions, it's very nice!

I know this is late but she said she used 650 yards which is 3 balls of yarn!

[@candicem8931]

[@maryzylo7695]

I'd like to make a blanket with double yarn, but it's a baby blanket, so different yarn. How did you figure out what size needles to use?

[@conniewatson3981]

It's on the needle it self ., the size will tell you on the package when you purchase it...

[@GalacticChimp]

Lovely blanket. I believe this was done in moss stitch though. :)

[@mariazapata5064]

Awesomely beautiful!!!! But do you have to use two strains of yarn 🧶 to get that beautiful and texture feeling and look?

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

It won’t be as chunky! But you can definitely make it with one strand! Thank you! 💓

[@pchilds83]

Hello Lori, I have a question about the yarn. For this pattern, can I use the charisma big yarn instead of the LB thick and quick?

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

Any weight 6 yarn should be okay!

[@gagirlb]

Such a pretty blanket, great job!🙌🏽 However, I wish you could have shown us the final finish of the entire blanket.

[@levcath13]

Does the end of the row have to end with the same stitch as I began the row? For example, if I start with a knit, do I finish the row with a knit? Thanks!

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

Not at all! You just need to make sure you’re doing the opposite ever 3rd row. Hope that makes sense. 😅

[@levcath13]

Thanks!

[@rosiesaunders3334]

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

If you like written patterns, I have the written version on my blog that’s linked in the description!

[@lauriepusateri7493]

Hi Lori. How do I find the written pattern and material list. I am new to knitting and hope I can give this throw a try. Do you have any instructional videos for a beginner left handed ? Thank you

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

You can find the material list and written instructions on my blog: Lunarknitsbylori.Wordpress. Com. I do not currently have any left handed videos. But if you check out bhooked here on KZbin, I think you’ll find some very useful things!

[@antoinettefalzon6591]

Do they sell the wool in Melbourne Australia if so where which shop

[@Isabella-uj1dz]

I am wondering if you want to make this for a baby how many stitches would you cast on

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

Isabella Mercado it depends how big you want your blanket. I would probably cast on between 38 and 46 stitches. As long as you use an even number, you can cast in any amount.

[@EnergyAndLightAwakening]

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I've started this twice and I keep knitting a wreath shape???!!!

[@pchilds83]

Hello Lori, How many balls of yarn to use with this pattern? On your website its stated in yards and not how many balls.

[@Sheckla41]

Different balls of yarn / different brands are different lengths. Her ball of yarn may have been 80yards. The ball of yarn you buy may be 65 yards or 95 yards etc. that way you can figure out how many balls you need based on yard length regardless of how big the yarn balls are.

[@Analaya749]

Do you have any tips on how to remember which stitch you left off on? I often forget if I just did a knit or a pearl

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

For me I just recognize what a knit stitch looks like versus a Purl stitch. A Purl stitch looks like a bump and the knit stitch like a V. If you can notice that, it should help you read your knitting easier

The first and second rows are the same and the 3rd and 4th are the same. You may find the written version on my blog easier to understand!

[@natashavalyear4378]

I agree. I'm confused. Shouldn't the route end in a knit stitch to resume row two with a knit stitch. You mentioned that rows one and two there would be a knit stitch where there was a knit stitch and purl stitch wherea purl stitch is. But if I end on a purl stitch , my first stitch in row two would be a purl. I'm so confused

[@bridgetshamrock1268]

Ooooooo wow thank you .I can't wait to try this

[@joseejohnstun4641]

I'm brand new to knitting, wondering if I can use smaller size needles if I still have the 36 inch cable? Or do I need to get size 20..?

[@LunarKnitsbyLori]

If you use something different than a 20 your gauge will be different. So you would end up with a blanket bigger or smaller than what I made. You can 100% still follow the pattern, you just may want to cast on more or less depending on what size you’re wanting to make your blanket.

[@aaronjohnstun1995]

ok thank you so much for your explanation! ive decided to get the needles from hobby lobby. i love your blanket and i want mine to turn out like yours! haha thanks!
