Do u have to use chuncky yarn and size 17 needles is can u use lighter weight yarn and smaller needles? If u use a different weight yarn and smaller needles would u cast on more stitches and if so how many would u cast on for a baby blanket?
@SparklyOne
@SparklyOne 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Wanda! That was my grandma's name! 😍 You will need to use larger size needles for a chunky yarn, but you can look on the package of yarn to see what the suggested needle size is. That is super helpful when wanting to use a different size yarn. The pattern I show you here is done with a multiple of 4 so you can make it any size you want. You'll need a circular needle if you can't find a straight needle that's long enough. Baby blankets can range in sizes, but one that is about 36 in x 36 or 48 in x 48 in is a great size. Let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks for commenting! 😀🙌

Hi love this video your blanket turned out great 😄.. unfortunately I didn’t watch it until after I bought supplies nd started knitting. My yarn is the exact same size but I bought the recommended size 11 needles .. until I got to about the forth row I notice It wasn’t expanding much and it was very tight .. what do you recommend i should do to make it looser and the holes bigger... also i saw u did 52 loops to make your blanket. let’s say I want to make a standard throw (50″ X 60″) how many loops would u say would be good ?? Sorry for so many questions I’m also new at this nd I thought I did enough research but I guess not .. thank you ahead of time for your help ♥️

Hi Lesley, thank you so much for watching and commenting. I would probably double the cast on stitches to 104 and knit until you have your desired length. Mine measures 36” wide, so doubled would be 72” and of course you can make it as long as you want. If you're using size 11 needles, yours will be much smaller than mine, so doubling the cast on stitches will make it bigger, but I'm not sure how much because of your smaller needles. You'll also need to buy 2 skeins instead of one, just in case you can't make it with one skein. Hope that helps 😘🥰 It's great practice either way. Happy crocheting! Let me know how it turns out!

No worries at all! That's what I'm here for! Haha! If you want your blanket bigger than mine and you use the Size 17 needles, you can cast on in multiples of 4. So maybe somewhere in between 52 and 104 would be a good comprise, just make sure to have 2 skiens so you don't run out. Maybe try 88 stitches? I think that would be a good size. I'm not sure in inches what it would be though. Hope that's not confusing...keep me posted! 😍

Well...that's a great question! My blanket is 36 inches wide with the cast on stitches in multiples of 4. You can make it as long as you want. Of course you'll need lots of skeins of yarn, so I would measure the size of the blanket you want to make with a current blanket on the bed. I recommend making a sample swatch and measure how many inches it is and multiply that to figure out how many multiples of 4 you'll need. You can also make it in multiples of 6 (6 knit, 6 purls), 8 (8 knit, 8 purls) or 10 (10 knit, 10 purls) to give it a different look. The pattern is super easy! I hope that helps. I'm new at knitting, but I think this is a pretty simple pattern and just have fun! I'm sure it will be beautiful!

Since I was just beginning my knitting journey when I made this video, I didn’t realize that those size of needles are hard to come by. My mother in law gave them to me 20 years ago from an estate sale. They are so huge!

Example: 52 stitches divided by 4 = 13. I used 64 stitches divided by 4 = 16 and it did not follow your pattern Row 1 - K4, p4, and end with a Row 2 - knit 4 and p4, knit 4, and end with a p4; I think I figured it out!

Cast on 64 makes a bigger blanket. Cast on less makes a smaller blanket. Make a practice swatch for your yarn and needle size. Hope this helps.

Thank you Courtni! My Mother in law gave them to me a long time ago. I think she got them from an estate sale. It would be better to use circular ones though. You can buy those on Amazon for under $20. I’m thinking I might need a pair of those, too! Haha! You can make a wider blanket with those. Happy crocheting 🧶🥰😍

My blanket does not look like yours. I casted on 64 stitches and did k4, p4 and second row p4, k4 and repeated this pattern but I am not ending with a k4 at end of each row. I know you knit the knits and pearl the pearls. What am I doing wrong?

@@valeriem.neatrour6155 I think you should try to add an extra 4 stitches to your work when casting on. When I made that video I was a very new knitter (and still am), it might work out if you do that. I'm still trying to become a better teacher and I want to make it as easy as possible to learn how to knit and sometimes it doesn't work out that way. I'm sorry if I caused you any frustration...ugh! It's not easy to figure things out, but I am always here to help, if I can. Let me know if that helps you. Have a wonderful day! Thanks for commenting! I really appreciate it, plus it will help others who read the comments 😊

In adding another 4 stitches to end on a knit 4 on row 1, then I should start row two with a K4 and not P4. Is that correct?

You will knit 4 stitches and then purl 4 stitches, and repeat that all the way across to the end. When you turn your work, then you will purl 4 stitches and then knit 4 stitches and repeat all the way across to the end. After that you will always purl the purls and knit the knits. Hope that makes sense 😊🙌🏻 Let me know how it goes

That's a great question! The bigger the needles the bulkier the yarn. Use the recommended size needles on the package of yarn. Also, the smaller the yarn and needles, the more yarn you'll need. Hope that helps!
