[@susanjay4849]

I am surely not a fancy knitter and came across this extremely helpful tutorial a month or so ago. I just love how this blanket turns out! I make baby blankets for gifts. The instructions are easy to follow. The corners come out beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to help us!

[@anneliesemcdaid5296]

What do you do with the ends? Like the extra wee tail of wool.please and thanks

[@blumit18]

Your teaching, explaining and showing is very clear. I went through many vedios, but got stuck at one point or another, your showing is simple, short and easy to understand. Thank you.

[@nicolepechinis6849]

Best parrten I ever tryed

[@pamelaschutz28]

This is by far my favourite pattern. I plan to knit these up in small squares with various colours and then sew all together to make one large blanket each for both of my daughters. I am wondering if anyone knows if it’s possible to somehow knit a heart or other type of pattern inside this square?

[@sowoolly]

Thank you! Yep, there’s a technique called Intarsia, which allows us to make solid shapes inside the fabric in a different color. Unfortunately, I don’t have that tutorial in English yet, but in Spanish. Take a quick look just to see how it’s done: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4vXpHh-rryWpsk

[@nikkiwall1204]

For a baby blanket do measure along the side or across the work?

[@lanitoska]

Carolina thanks, there are two classes in one for me he he he...mua

[@sowoolly]

Hi Nita ;D! I'm so happy that you are also taking these English knitting lessons...thank you for your support! Petonet!

[@akomuni8517]

How do you secure as I don't know how

[@ellyngl]

This is such a simple but pretty pattern! I have a question tho: What if you want a wider edge would I just increase the number of stitches I start with? Lmk!!

[@sowoolly]

Thank you Lee! To make a wider edge, you need to cast on more stitches, for example 8, and then knit 6 before the yarn over. When you decrease, knit 5, k2tog, yo. Please take a look of the written pattern on my website. You'll find the link below the video, on the description box. Good luck!!

[@TheSouthernbelle11]

It looks tiny? I’m not sure I’m Understanding how to make it larger. Do you sew the squares together?

[@PrincessSarahjayne11]

It is an example of the pattern. You can knit it as big as you want. I am currently making this as a 1m x 1m blankie.

[@gurdeepanand1293]

Very nice

[@susanjay4849]

Thank you for your help!

[@nidhisundriyalharidwar4272]

Are v supposed to knit d small squares n then join them stitching vd needle

[@dipaleepatil1788]

Hello! I loved this pattern and have started knitting a small swaddle blanket. However, since I wanted slightly broader edges, I have knitted 5 stitches and then taken the YO for increasing the stitches thereafter. Now I am at the stage where I need to start decreasing the stitches. And I am so confused! Could you please help me with how my 'decrease stitch' knitting should be?

[@lucyneary6686]

How do you end the blanket, what type of stich/ Knot?

[@ehandycrafts1669]

Amazing!

[@misstrebecca]

Great I just did the bootys for absolute beginners.. now I want to.do this is there any particular yarn I should use

Great

[@thetthetwai7277]

Very nice 👍🏻. Could you pls tell me , For bigger size blanket , is it also can use the same pattern such as start with 4 stitches and end with the bind off 4 stitches? Have a beautiful day.

[@sowoolly]

Thank you! Yes, no matter the size, you will always start and finish with 4 stitches. Keep increasing until the desired length is reached, and then, start decreasing. Have a great weekend!

[@thetthetwai7277]

Thank you so much for your reply☺️You too. . Could you pls make a video for how to Knit & decrease V shape neck also . I am really lookingforward to your Great demonstration. Have a Great weekend.

[@cori-lynnbarron3411]

Awesome video! How many stitches for a newborn blanket!

[@sowoolly]

Thank you! Cast on 4 stitches and keep knitting until it measures 90 cm / 35 in approximately. Then, start the decreases until you have 4 stitches again. This will get you a square blanket big enough for a newborn ;-)

[@hagitsayir8283]

Love it. Ty

[@marydalton6776]

hi do you turn your work and how mean stitches you go before you start decreasing ?. thanks Mary

[@sowoolly]

Hi Mary, the blanket is knitted flat, so yes, you have to turn your work every time you finish a row, no matter if it's a decrease or increase row ;D You can also take a look of the written instructions on my website: sowoolly.net/how-to-knit-a-baby-blanket-for-beginners-step-by-step/ Best, Carolina

[@paulamckay3482]

Can you help me, making a baby blanket, using size 8 circular needles,light weight yarn 3,pattern is cast on 5 knit one row ,knit 3 to knit to the end .already have 130 stitches ,how many do I need for 36 by 36 blanket

[@natalieleandro2248]

Would it be possible to do stockinette stitch after the yarn over? How would that work I'm kind of a beginner and my sister wants a baby blanket

[@sowoolly]

It’s possible, but it’s easier this way, especially if you are a beginner 😉

[@matthewbarber4361]

Can anyone tell me if it would be easy to make the center a straight stitch?

[@ovetaliburd5061]

Can this be done circular needles?

[@sowoolly]

What do you have in mind?

[@ovetaliburd5061]

@@sowoolly just wondering if its do able

[@happygirly2300]

Im really struggling with this, I have size 4mm needles and yarn and just want to know how many stitches I need before decreasing, measuring it doesn't help as the sizes automatically change all the time :( I just want to knit something worth knitting:(

[@sowoolly]

How many stitches are you getting in 4 in / 10 cm?

[@happygirly2300]

@@sowoolly 18 stitches

[@sowoolly]

@@happygirly2300 Then, if you want your blanket to measure 90 cm by 90 cm (or any other size), thi is what you need to do: Multiply 18 (the number of stitches you are getting per 10 cm)* 90 (the size of the blanket) and then divide the result by 10. 18*90/10=162 stitches more or less. When you get close to this amount of stitches, you can start decreasing. I hope this helps. Good luck!

[@evelynsoupen4989]

How many squares I need to make a big blanket

[@jadeb3078]

Would this pattern work with bigger yarn and needles? X

[@sowoolly]

Hi Jade, “beauty is on the eye of the beholder”. My suggestion is that you knit a swatch and see if you like it. I believe it will work, but it’s better if you like the swatch, before knitting the whole blankie 😉

[@marydalton6776]

hi ? do you turn your work . thanks marydalton

[@zoebyram478]

When you have stitches right to the end of the row you simply swap hands and repeat.

[@sadhanashrivastava795]

👍

[@shuchigauri]

Hello! Thank you for the video. I am very new to knitting so my question might not really be valid. How will a 35 inch blanket fit on US size 7 needle? How many cm long should the needle be? I have no clue if there is a workaround for fitting all the stitches on the needle as they increase.

[@sowoolly]

Hello! It depends on the thickness of your yarn. Normally, the longest knitting straight needles are around 25 cm (9.8 in). So I think it is better for you to knit it with circular needles (you won't be knitting in the round, just flat as usual, but you can take advantage of the long cable ;)

[@shuchigauri]

So Woolly thank you for your response 😊

[@zoebyram478]

Hey, I've noticed that when I'm decreasing my square the holes made when I knit two stitches yarn over and knit two stitches again are bigger than the holes made when increasing my work by just yearning over. Is this supposed to happen? I haven't dropped any stitches.

[@sowoolly]

Maybe it happens because of how you pass the yarn to get the yarn over. Try to control the tension there...

[@sudituesthermariusbirse1750]

I still cant figure out how to do the stiches

[@deborahbirch1389]

Needs the sound louder - as you speak so softly

[@ألفباء-ر1ظ]

How mesure baby blanket please?!

[@jillmann9349]

What size needles please ?

[@sowoolly]

It depends on the yarn. You can follow the recommendation of the manufacturer (on the label), but it's better to knit a swatch. For this swatch, I used cotton yarn worsted weight and 5 mm needles.

[@zanudan123]

Do you need 100 grams of wool?

[@sowoolly]

Take a look at the written instructions (you’ll find a link to my website, bellow the video, on the description box). If look at them closely (or the video), you’ll notice that first, we are increasing stitches on both sides. Then, when the desired width is reached, we start decreasing stitches, until we finish with the same amount we started (4 stitches) 😉
