How to Finger Knit a Blanket [Washer & Dryer Safe]

WATCH THIS before you make your blanket. :)
Finger Knitting FAQ
• What You NEED to Know ...
In this video, I share how to finger knit a chenille chunky blanket. No experience with crochet/knitting necessary!
The throw featured in this video is 3 ft x 4 ft
5 skeins Bernat Blanket Yarn (32 yards in each skein)
Starting chain approx. 20-25 chains depending on tension
For a 4 ft x 5 ft , I'd recommend 6 skeins.
Starting chain approx. 30 -35 chains depending on tension
I would highly recommend that you use a tape measure and chain to desired measurement.
Supplies:
Bernat Blanket Yarn - Chalk Pink
www.tkqlhce.co...
If you want to make with traditional knitting
25 mm needles are recommended for this yarn weight.
I like these:

What store did you purchase this yarn? I've gone to Target, Michael's and Jo-Ann's. Target never carried yarn , Michael's discontinued this yarn 6 months ago and Jo-Ann's stopped years ago. I am at a lose. I don't want to purchase sight unseen from Amazon and have to send it back. Any other ideas?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@ritaholston6793 I’m really surprised that you’re having difficulty finding this yarn. I bought more just last week at Michaels to make another blanket for KZbin. I also easily found it online (Michaels) . Maybe it’s going by a different name ? I’m also seeing a similar yarn at Walmart lately. The only thing ,though, is it looks like they are not providing much yarn in the ball so it might come out more pricey. There is a company called BeCozi that makes this polyester yarn . That might be an option. They do tutorials here on KZbin . Please check the link in the description box below my video here see if you still have issues ordering from Michaels. Bernat Blanket Big. Sorry you are having difficulty, that stinks 💕

Ok for all the dudes out there who are trifling over another dude knitting and crocheting blankets, here's a little history for you. Knitting and crocheting were actually started by men who were fisherman. They had to repair their nets. This continued through the generation and women picked up on it to make clothing and blankets for their families. The fisherman worked also in the winter months. So they had to have warm things. Some didn't have wives and women to do these things for. So they branched out their skills to provide for themselves. Knitting and crocheting are being taught to soldiers suffering from PTSD, male and female alike. It calms the thoughts, focuses the attention on something real and tangible instead of memories and flashbacks. Its taught to prisoners (men and women) to help give them some creative outlet. It works. There is a combat veteran who has his own KZbin channel for crocheting. He suffers from PTSD and he wanted to share his skill with other veterans to help them. Until you suffer from this stuff, you don't know what its like. Its agony. I suffer from it, too. And about the young man who said we need to try it, he's showing passion for something he learned. He wants to share his passion for it. Thats a good thing! You need to do this.😉😁

I’ve skimmed through probably 2 dozen videos, because my brain just did NOT understand what they were doing, even though they were all for “beginners.” I don’t understand the terminology, why they’re using certain tools, etc. Thankfully, I actually understand this one! 🙌🏼 I’ve never crocheted before, so for doing multiple colors, is it basically the same concept for adding another skein? Just tie on, trim & go? Thanks! This video is super helpful. 💜

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I’m so happy you found the video useful! Yes , you can absolutely tie on your next color when you run out of the first but only if you want the color to start right after the previous color, no matter where on the blanket that happens. But if you want the color change to be more solid (like a definite stripe of color all the way across, you’ll want to make sure to attach your new skein right before you start a new row of loops. Hope that makes sense. 💕

Do you mind if I ask a question? Roughly how much did this cost? My mom likes this type of thing and I'm interested but she doesn't always follow through on projects. Your post is only four months old, so the price is going to be more accurate than a two year old post. Thanks if you answer. 👋

My mom & grandma both knit & crocheted. My mom taught me & my left handed sister to do so as well. I lost my mom 6 years ago & seeing this I knew she'd want to make this. She had a severe stroke & we tried crocheting together as one because she lost use of left arm & hand. It didn't work. I wish we had known about this because I really think we could have done this together as one. I may make it to honor her & the skills she gave me. Thank you.

My boyfriend bought about 10 skeins of this brand of yarn and tried to crochet with it (he was using a 15 mm hook, so it was big but definitely not big enough) he gave up on it. The yarn and partially done project have just been sitting for two years now. I finally looked up a tutorial to do something with it. I’m so excited to sit and work on it tomorrow while my daughter naps!

Brand new to this topic, and very impressed with this video. Think I could actually make the blanket, though I have no experience with knitting, etc. That said, quick check on Amazon for yarn prices - yowzer, not a cheap hobby, huh. The materials for the blanket add up quick. Looks like about $50-$60 worth of yarn to make the small blanket. 😯

[@PlayHookywithMe]

That’s a shame but I understand. When I first saw this pattern circulating years ago, people were using roving wool. Easily a 300 dollar project. If you have access to Michaels, they usually do a special where you buy one and get the second half off. Helps a lot.

This was one of the easiest to understand, short and yet incredibly detailed video I could find on youtube! Love the time stamps and how you showed how the blanket looked like in the end. Currently using this video to make a wool mix chunky blanket :) Beyond excited!! Do you know how big of a blanket I can make with 26 skeins of weight 6 yarn (87 yards per skein)? Thank you for making this video, Hooky ❤️

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I’m so happy you found it helpful. Hm - regarding the size of a blanket for your amount of yarn ... that’s a toughie. I’m terrible with math. The Bernat yarn was a size 7 with 32 yards in each. I had to do some trial and error to figure out how much I needed. I would recommend you do the same. I would take one skein and start a chain to the width you think you want your blanket to be. I literally made the chain , and placed it across my body to make sure it was covering me well. Then , start making your blanket with the one skein and measure how far it went. 12, 36, 48 inches? Whatever that number is you can figure out how many more skeins it would need to get to the length you want. It’s a bit time consuming of course but it’s really the best way to see what you need. I was making blankets for different family members - some tall , some petite , I even made one as a couple snuggle blanket. I did this test to do my best to size it to them. Hope this helps 💕

@@sydneydowning4476 oh boy , I think I used 7 for that one , Sydney. But you can get away with 6 . Just won’t be as long. Focus on the width first - drape a chain across your body (across hips) to get an idea of how wide you need it to be for 2 people . It’s much easier to add to the length rather than having to start over with the width.
