I was so pleased to see this your tutorial. I have so much yarn,which I love. I have gotten older and suffer from severe neuropathy which make it hard to crochet or knit. Then I too realized I could enlarge the Grandmas favorite dishcloth pattern, the only pattern I’ve recently found comfortable knitting. Thank you for taking the time to to put this together.

This was exactly what I was looking for thank you!!! It's my first time knitting a baby blanket and I had no idea that you had to decrease and then how to do that and also work with the yarn over stitch that I have been using. Super grateful for your detail!!! Especially the part of when to decide when to decrease and laying the blanket flat and measuring!!

[@janetpingrey7155]

Wonderful tutorial....new moms appreciate acrylic blankets. This seems the perfect "recipe" to practice Continental knitting, also....

[@bobbieburrs2506]

Thanks so much for this awesome tutorial! I used Baby Bernat baby blanket yarn in a pink/lavender/white colorway and followed your instructions. To avoid "pooling," I switched to another skein (same color) after one row across and back again. I followed along with your way of finishing the blanket, starting when there are seven stitches remaining in order to not mess up the yarnovers. It worked great! Bobbie 😍

ThanK you for this great tutorial. I love this version without the holes & the colors are lovely.

[@christinesmith488]

Finally a video I can understand. I have three blankets to make for Christmas 2022

[@chan58]

Nice switch up for the yarn over, like this a lot, especially for kids,ty 😊

[@conniegranado7943]

To make sure I have enough yarn to finish my blanket, I weigh the ball of yarn on a digital kitchen scale, divide that by 2 and wright that number on the ball band. I then increase the blanket till the weight of the yarn gets close as possible to the weight number I wrote on the ball band and that’s when I start my decrease. I have found using this method I always have enough yarn and very little left over.

[@lesliebaxley9693]

Thanks I like this with knit through the back loop. I've made this pattern but always with yarn over leaving the little hole.

[@SynfullyWkd67]

Learned a new cast-on method, thanks! I used to either use a reg. long tail or knitted method. Thanks for a great tutorial! I also have the same "quirk" drives me nuts when that happens LOL

[@Ruby-wise]

TY…this is a great pattern, and a very nice color combo! I, too, use circular needles when knitting baby blankets,,,(and several other projects). I think it insures that during many interruptions, I can generally slide my project to the center of the joiner cord and lay down a piece and pick it up without loosing a stitch…or a gazillion;-)

[@bonnieblahovich2848]

Have knitted for it seems like ever learn something new all the time happy I found you!

[@erinmccook249]

Hello! I love love love this pattern! So simple to knit, with such a brilliant result! I have 3 in the works at the moment … my new go-to blanket! I’m working on making a rectangle or scarf, too! All figured out, just a lot of math & yarn weighing, ugh. But your tutorial is great, very clear, and your voice is so pleasant. Thanks much for sharing your idea! 😊💕

[@jenidouthit7980]

Loved your tutorial and tips. New subscriber

[@knitpurlsquirrelwithgrannydee]

Yes, I’ve used this pattern forever as a wash/dishcloth and have thought before that it would make a great blanket as well. So yay!

[@Zenpony]

thanks, would not have understood the printed directions. Your video made it clear.

[@HANDMADEDESIGNSHD]

Beautiful tutorial! Thank you ☺️

[@sheilabartley869]

Thank for the beautiful pattern and thank for the video most enjoyable video

[@carol-annmatthew5296]

Lovely pattern

[@bonnieblahovich2848]

Love to knit thank you

[@libbyworkman3459]

I scrolled through the entire video looking for at least one shot of what the finished blanket would look like. Disappointed not to find anything.

[@wendelynyoung8609]

Hi, there’s a picture of the blanket as her thumb nail. Love the combo of the cakes! A beautiful blanket

8:00 Some quirks are good!

[@zaramughal2578]

It looks lovely. How can we make it in rectangle shape.

[@Bindersandcash19]

You would have to cast on how ever many sritches you wanted say 150 etc thrn keep in knitting until your work it longer rather then wider.

[@ernestinemartinez6942]

@@Bindersandcash19then it wouldn’t be a c2c.......There’s the increase row..... then the middle section. Which would make it into a rectangle.... then the decrease section for finishing.... But u still start off with a SMALL amount of stitches like usual

[@wiseposs]

Hi, I’m curious why you just don’t knit 2 together for the decrease and leave it at that? Is there a reason you K2tog, yo, then k2tog again? Is it just to keep it looking similar to the increase rows?

[@DeHartHouse]

That's right. The extra Yo and K2tog keeps the decreased edge looking similar to the increased edge.

[@rsuetkamp]

Thank you!!

[@knitknack2285]

Interesting ❤tyfs

[@debracubitt6191]

Great!!!

[@sheilabartley869]

It would be wonderful to be able to send u pics of the ones we make with u

[@aussiemouth747]

It's great but I don't understand that weird sort of knitting method.🤷‍♀️🤔

[@mamtadudwani3649]

How much wool is needed in this project

[@DeHartHouse]

This pattern is adaptable depending on what size you want to make. For the blanket I made in this video, I used the two balls of Mandala yarn, which is about 1180 yards of worsted weight acrylic yarn. If you want to make a smaller blanket, then less yardage is needed. Likewise if you want a larger blanket, you'll need more yarn.

[@lindaneale5206]

Enjoying tutorial but the music is far to loud and l am hoping it doesn’t go right through the tutorial. Tfs

[@DeHartHouse]

Thanks for the comment! I'm sorry about the music volume. Having music in the background is something I tried, but have since decided not to do for that reason.

[@bonniewilliams3266]

Beautiful blanket but music makes your video unwatchable.

[@DeHartHouse]

@@bonniewilliams3266 Sorry about that. These days I use music to fill the non-speaking portions of videos rather than having it continue throughout.

[@elsaviviers3571]

🎉😅😮😮😅

[@beckerlea2441]

How many stiches in longest row?

[@DeHartHouse]

I didn't count stitches. Instead, I weighed the yarn to know how much was half of the skein, to make sure I had enough to finish, and measured the length/width.
