Knitted Garter Stitch Baby Blanket | Beginner Friendly

[@bethherbst6860]

Thank you for making a baby blanket!! I had my aneurysm 13 years ago. I couldn’t speak or walk afterwards. Now, I can talk, using my wheelchair, read, watching TV and KNIT!! I made 14 scarves for my friends who helped me in the Hershey Hospital!! I am paralyzed with my right hand and leg. I write cursively with my left hand. I can knit, too!! I want to give a yellow baby blanket for my son and wife....NO, they aren’t pregnant!! But, I will give it to them when they !! Thank you, indeed ❤️

[@SparklyOne]

Beth! You are a true miracle and a huge inspiration! Thank you for sharing your journey! I am so proud of you 🥰🙏🏻🙌🏻 God bless you and thank you for your sweet comments 💖😍

[@bethherbst6860]

My husband bought a larger yarn then I see on your video. How many rows until I decrease?

[@marygallagher1917]

Sorry to hear of you having an aneurysm. Your so positive, you have done so well. I still remember a lady I nursed she had an aneurysm at only 47yrs old That was 1989,she has stayed in my memory Knitting is lovely, doesn't it feel creative when you look at the finished garment. Best wishes, keep well, As we say in ireland mind yourself

[@SynfullyWkd67]

God bless you! I had to have an double bypass when I was 48, they say it's genetics and being adopted with no health history doesn't help. I am now 55 will be 56 in July. I now suffer from peripheral artery disease, neuropathy in both my feet stage 5, have had as of this past Wed. 8 catherizations, facing another open heart as now I have 2 blockages on the left side of my heart and thickening of my heart which I am guessing is from the 3 silent heart attacks I've had,atheroscrolosis PAD and of course the main culprit Diabetes. They are afraid I may have a stroke/massive heart attack, I have been crocheting since I was 5 and now have trouble due to numbness in my hands, so as to not lose muscle memory I have started knitting again. You are a true inspiration! I've been severely depressed from all this because I am a big outdoor person, and now I can't garden like I used to, can't get back up on my own because of 3 back operations 12 years ago when a chiropractor ruptured all my discs in my lower lumbar and all my rods and screws need tobe replaced and they won't touch me until we get my heart under control. So now I knit or crochet every day. I am in a motorcycle ministry, haven't been able to ride my motorcycle right now, but we have a charity coming up and I am donating shawls. baby blanets etc. to raffle off for terminally ill children. Again, thank you for your story! it gives me hope! God bless you!

[@TheKnittingQueen]

Are those needles still on Etsy because when I looked on Etsy I found a bunch of those needles are they all like that or are they very similar to the ones you have would you mind answering my question

[@manikfernando3409]

I knit and finished this blanket today. It’s lovely. Thank you for your teaching.

[@SparklyOne]

You’re welcome 😊🧶 I’m so happy you like it! It’s one of my favorites to make 🥰

[@ladysarahs77]

I wish I could still knit my fingers hurts when I’m knitting I can only crochet now but lovely blanket thank you Rhonda god bless you ,

[@SparklyOne]

I totally understand what you are going through. There was a time when I couldn't crochet for 3 years because of the pain my thumb. I hope yours improves like mine did. It can still get painful, especially if I'm eating too much bread. I realized I'm gluten sensitive. Have a blessed day! Hugs! 🙏💖😇

[@ladysarahs77]

Sorry I just seen this thank you 🙏

[@Felicity2121]

SARAH... I had/have the same problem especially with my wrists. I am under the hospital for treatment and will be going to physio. My consultant told me not to stop (even though I have to manually uncurl my fingers sometimes) he suggested some hand and wrist exercises to do which at the moment I turned my nose up at him and muttered explicit words under my breath. They actually do work a little and I can push past the pain gradually each time. There is a channel on here that shows the said exercises with wrist turns and hand stretches. He also suggested to wear a wrist or arm splint. I have only just learnt how to knit so I can just do the old scarf headband squares in knit stitch. Don’t get me wrong I can’t do much at a time and have to take a lot of breaks and it’s so frustrating. I don’t know what your problem is but it’s worth a try. Mine is excessive nerve damage from multiple chest wall surgeries and is now painful from elbows down. Massive life changing effects but I’m not hanging my needles up yet!! Take care

[@karabrace2330]

Thank you for showing how to fix a mistake! That’s something most tutorials don’t show and it makes it really difficult to learn from videos when you don’t know how to fix a mistake

You are so welcome! Thank you for commenting! I really appreciate it! Happy knitting!

[@SynfullyWkd67]

Just happened upon your video, and love how you teach. not sure if it is on my end or yours but was a tad hard to hear. I've been knitting for 16 years, but never blankets, just fingerless gloves,hats,scarves and prayer shawls. I've seen various videos on this blanket, and I like yours a lot. Just thought I would toss a tip in that I learned from a friend who's been knitting forever,( I am more of a "hooker" lol that is a crocheter, been crocheting since I was 5) The tip is when you come to your last stitch to knit, put the yarn in front as if to purl, then slip the last stitch as to purl ( Don't purl the stitch though, just slip it purl-wise) and then put the working yarn to the back. It makes for a very nice, clean edge. Thanks again for a wonderful tutorial. God Bless!

[@SparklyOne]

Thank you so much for the tip! I’ll have to try that 😀🧶 If you turn up the volume on the video itself, you should be able to hear me better.

[@TheKnittingQueen]

Hey Rhonda, it’s Amber. Me and my roommate went shopping on Etsy and we found knitting needles that are similar to the ones that you have. They are a different style though and they’re a size 4, but I will send you a picture to see if there’s similar to what you have.

[@TheKnittingQueen]

Hey Rhonda, it’s Amber. I think I’m going to get some needles similar to yours. I found some on Amazon they don’t look quite the same but they are the same color and they are a metal to.

[@PamPam2912]

Definitely trying this tomorrow! Found knitting needles at a thrift store and was so excited! I crochet and I’ve been wanting to learn how to knit

[@SparklyOne]

Yay! I hope you enjoy the process! Be patient, as you’ll make mistakes, but it will actually make you a better knitter. I’m always here to help if you have any questions. You can email me at [e-mail] with your questions. Happy knitting 🧶🥰👏🏻

[@TheKnittingQueen]

Hey Rhonda, it’s Amber. I still haven’t been able to find those knitting needles those exact knitting needles that you have on Etsy. I was wondering what was the kit that your mother-in-law gave to you that those knitting needles came in because when my mom ordered knitting noodles they were plastic they weren’t metal like yours and I was wondering if those knitting needles that you haveare still existent. I really don’t know where to find them or where to get them.

This is like a dishcloth pattern I’ve done before! Neato! Thanks!

You're so welcome! 🥰🧶

[@TheKnittingQueen]

Hey Rhonda, did you ever get my email? Do you know when those needles that you have are going to be back in stock on Etsy?😊

[@Wildflower-h8d]

Thank you for this tutorial. I’m an absolute beginner at knitting so much so I haven’t even tried yet 😂 I’ve watched many knitting tutorials and I feel this is the one I would feel most comfortable with trying as your video is clear and explained well. I have ordered a few circular needles and can’t wait to start. I have been crocheting for 3 years so I’m hoping with the experience of crocheting I will be able to learn this beautiful craft too. Could this pattern be used for DK and chunky yarn also?

[@SparklyOne]

Aw, you are so welcome! Since you are a beginner I would recommend making my fingerless gloves first. Here’s the link. 💖 Knitted Fingerless Gloves 💖 Beginner Friendly 💖 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHnFXmaQq818oK8 Making a blanket will be easier for you once you learn to manage a smaller project. These gloves help you learn the basics. The blanket is great too, but starting with smaller projects helps with dexterity, as well. The blanket can be made with any size yarn and the needles should match the label. Also, the blanket will turn out larger or smaller depending on those two factors. Keep me posted 🥰🧶😀

[@katlico]

Hi - I *just* finished this blanket! I used a multicolor yarn, which actually helped hide some of my mistakes. I'm a novice knitter and I honestly just knit to ease my anxiety when I'm reading for class (I'm a grad student!!), and this was so easy and is going to make such a sweet gift. I LOVE that the "hard" part of the knitting pattern is at the beginning because I can do that, then I don't have to look at it anymore while I knit, since like I said, I read at the same time. Thank you for sharing. :)

[@SparklyOne]

Oh Kathy! This makes me so happy!! I’m thrilled you finished it and you have that sense of accomplishment 🥰🧶💝 I think you’ll also enjoy making the scarf pattern that I posted recently, too! I’ll attach the link. It super easy! Thanks for commenting 🤩🙌🏻

[@myleerose31866]

Love your choice of color. I am currently making baby blankets for my 4th grand baby. You said your a relatively new knitter, I'm so glad to see you teaching others! Can I suggest you try sometime slipping your first stitch, and knitting through the back loop on the last one. Sometimes peoples first stitch is loose and this will prevent that. Your blanket is lovely.♥️✝️

[@SparklyOne]

Oh Stacy! Thank you so much for that tip! I recently made a shawl that slipped the first stitch, I never knew why people did that, now I know! You are so sweet to suggest that! I am so grateful for you. Congratulations on your 4th grandbaby! That’s so wonderful! I only have one and he is 22 years old. God bless you 💝🙏🏻

Hey Rhonda, it’s Amber. I am so enjoying this video especially those needles and that yarn and that beautiful border you put around the blanket that’s amazing. How do you knit like that like a border because I don’t know how to knit any borders around blankets like that and I really love to learn how to do that.

Hey Rhonda, it’s Amber. Listen is it possible that I can get a pair of knitting needles like the kind you have? Because I can’t find knitting needles like that anywhere

[@gailaltschuler7854]

Hi. I'm loving the blanket. I've got almost 140 stitches and the side measures only 19" I'm using Berroco Comfort knitting worsted weight with #7 needles. I thought the larger needles would actually make it a bit larger. Am I using a much narrower yarn? Suggestions? Thanks.

[@SparklyOne]

I think that will work out to be about 36” square by the time you complete the blanket, which is what mine is. If you want it bigger and you have enough yarn, you can increase as much as you want, just end the half way point with an even number. Hope that helps 😀🧶👍🏻

[@gailaltschuler7854]

Thanks for your speedy reply. Isn’t the measurement along one side before starting to reduce stitches the size of the blanket side?

Hi Ruth, the blanket is approximately 25 inches square. The diagonal is approximately 34 inches from point to point. It’s a small blanket. So just make sure you have enough yarn & you can make it as large as you want. Hope that helps you. Thanks for commenting 🥰

This is awesome! I used this tutorial to make my cousin a baby blanket for her baby shower! I want to make another for the girls I nanny. Can I used smaller yarn with bigger needles? The yarn I found calls for sizes 3-5 but wanna try using size 6 or bigger. how would that work?

[@SparklyOne]

You can use any size yarn or needles, as long as you are aware that the blanket will turn out a bit more loose and drapey. I would recommend doing a little swatch to see how you like it. Happy knitting 🧶 🥰

I don’t know if they’re gonna come back in stock or what’s going on she also told me you can’t return things on Etsy once you’re shopping on it Were those knitting Needles the ones that you’re using ever on Etsy or did they just come in a kit that your mother-in-law gave you? What did the kit look like? Maybe you can send me a picture of the kit that she sent you that those knitting noodles came in, would you mind?

Hey Rhonda, I have another question. Why did you choose to use those knitting needles in this video? I was just curious and for a minute I thought those were plastic. I didn’t think they were metal at first.

[@SparklyOne]

Hi Amber, yes they are plastic. If I recall, I think you said you bought some, is that right? I used these because I wanted to show everyone that you can crochet a small blanket with straight needles and these were the ones that I had in my stash. Are you making a blanket?

[@SparklyOne]

I would just start decreasing, unless you have circular needles you can change to. That’s the problems with straight needles, it limits you to a certain size. Keep me posted 😃🧶

[@TheKnittingQueen]

Question, is there a way I can get a pair of knitting needles exactly like that or not? What kind of kit did they come in?

[@SparklyOne]

These needles were from a estate sale. I’m guessing they are from the 1970”s or 80”s. I think it’s easier to use a circular needle though. I do have a link in my description box for Amazon and there are lots of choices there and some are very reasonably priced. I’ll add it below in another comment.

Hi Wanda! I'm not really sure, as I am pretty new to knitting, but I think you could definitely do that, it's worth a try. I'm sure after about 10 rows you'll see the type of pattern it's producing and whether you like it or not. I think I'll try that and see for myself! Haha! Keep me posted xoxo

Hey Rhonda, I haven’t found those needles on Etsy yet. I got size 7, but they are plastic. They are not metal like those and they are thick. They are not really thin like those. Is there any way I can find those that you have?

[@Gerintea]

Heya!! How do I make this bigger for an adult?

[@SparklyOne]

You can keep going until you have a large enough size of your liking, as long as you have a circular needle long enough and a ton more yarn. Just decrease at the halfway point. It should work out just fine 😃

Hey Rhonda, it’s Amber here. I love that purple yarn that you got. Is it possible for me to buy that yarn? I know that you got it at Joann fabrics last year around Christmas time but I was wondering if I could get like that yarn on Amazon or on Etsy or something like that because I love that yarn it’s beautiful and I think it would make a beautiful blanket and I wanna knit a blanket just like the one you’re making, I love that yarn that you’re using. Is it possible for me to get that on Amazon because I do know that Joann fabrics will be going out of business soon. Oh and I have needles just like those they are size 4 instead of a size 6

[@SparklyOne]

I suggest using a Red Heart Super Saver as a substitute. The colors Medium Lavender and Amethyst are also very beautiful purples. They sell it at Michael’s, Walmart & Joann’s. Make sure to check online. I would use your size 4 needles, but it would be better to use a size 6 or 8 needles if you want to buy a new needle. I suggest a size 8 circular, because it’s a common size and you’ll probably use it quite a bit if you’re using size 4 yarns. Best of luck 🧶🥰

Adding info-Yarnspiration Bernat Baby Blanket, Sparkle, Net Weight 10.5 oz./300 g Super Bulky 6 My husband bought two skeins.

[@SparklyOne]

Hi Beth, if you use a that large of a yarn, you might have to decrease once you get the desired width at the center of the square, verses the 148 stitches on my needles. Maybe somewhere between 80 & 100 stitches would be my guess. It might even be less? The yarn that I used was on a size 4 worsted weight and yours will turn out much larger. So, with that said, you are going to have to stop when you think it's wide enough and stopping on an even number row, then start your decrease. If you have any other questions, you can always email me at [e-mail] Happy knitting! xoxo

[@____1019]

not sure if the decrease is knit one knit 2 together yarn over knit 2 together again all the way to 5 stitches left or 4 stitches?

[@SparklyOne]

All the way to 5 stitches left. Watch around the 10 minute mark & you’ll see how I do that 🥰🙌🏻

[@lovepepsi66]

Can you do it rectangle?

[@Celeste-gb8mv]

Hi! Could this work with one pack of Size 11 Bernat Blanket yarn and size 11 needles? Would I reduce the rows? Thank you!

[@SparklyOne]

It definitely will! You will need a circular needle though. Unless you are making a small blanket like the one I made in my video for a lap blanket. I used size 17 straight needles in that one. That was a fun one to make. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXjTZIeXd9F4rrs

[@LaraRossi-lc1xp]

Hey, are you right handed?

[@bethherbst6860]

My husband bought a larger yarn then I see on your video. How many rows until I decrease?

[@SparklyOne]

Hi Beth, I had 148 stitches on my needle when I started my decrease. Hope that helps 😀💖

[@TheKnittingQueen]

Hey Rhonda, it’s Amber here. I’ve got a question where did you get those size 6 Bernát knitting needles from? I’ve looked around my local craft stores and I can’t find any like that. Do you know where you got them?

[@SparklyOne]

Hi Amber! They came in a kit that my mother in law gave me at least ten years ago. She got them from an estate sale and they were probably from the 70’s I’m assuming. They are super nice and really easy to use. If I can find them online somewhere, I’ll link them on another post 😀👍🏻

[@SparklyOne]

I found them on Etsy! www.etsy.com/listing/1502381150/

[@TheKnittingQueen]

I just checked out the website you sent me and I don’t see them on there but that’s OK thank you for trying. Do you have a business Facebook page or some thing I could share my knitting blankets with you because I want you to see them do you have an Instagram?

[@SparklyOne]

Hi Jackie! Thank you so much for your sweet comments. I'm not sure if you know, but there is a button on the video (if you're watching from a computer) that you can turn the volume up louder, so that could help you quite a bit. I am so happy to meet you! I'm in Southern California xoxo

[@hefinaowen7820]

what am i doing wrong when i was decrising row my blanket had big holes in the side of it

[@SparklyOne]

Make sure to use a tight tension when decreasing with first few stitches of each row. I noticed that too, but the tension will help.

Hi Pretty Pearl, those are stitch markers, but you can just use a piece of yarn. Let me know how your blanket turns out! Have a lovely day!

I Would Like To Know How Many Stiches To I Cast On To Make Throw?

[@SparklyOne]

You only have to cast on as in the video, then just keep knitting until you get the desired width and then start your decreasing. I believe you should stop on an even row when you decide to decrease. Keep me posted 😃🧶

Hi Where do I find the written instructions for the blanket? I'll be using double knit wool and 4 mm needles, do I adjust anything? I'm a novice knitter.Thanks

@@SparklyOne , I’m a little unsure if I’m doing my blanket correctly. I want the finished size to be 60 cm x 60 cm. Do I start deceasing when it measures 60 cm along the border?

How big does this pattern make?

[@SparklyOne]

It depends on the size of yarn you use. I used a size 4 worsted weight and it’s approximately 36” square 🧶😃

Could you please do a step-by-step video on knitting a basic baby sweater in the round?

[@SparklyOne]

I would love to try that! I will have to add that to my “want to learn” projects. I did make a baby sweater a few months after I learned to knit and I still haven’t finished it. It’s absolutely precious and I’ll have to finish it soon so I can show it to you 😍🥰🙌🏻

[@TheKnittingQueen]

What is an Etsy sale?

[@SparklyOne]

Not an Etsy sale, an estate sale is like a yard sale or a garage sale. So the needles were bought from a home that was selling a bunch of their belongings.
