Hello, I had to same I loved this video. Thank you. You are a Wonderful teacher. Not all that can do can teach and Vice versa but you obviously have both lol… now, 90 bucks to make one? Hummm lol
This is, hands down, THE best tutorial on hand knit chunky blankets I’ve seen!! I soo appreciate the info on the yarn types and especially how to care for the blankets afterwards. Thank you!!
This video should be the FIRST one that pops up when you search. Everyone else assumes you have crochet/knit knowledge. You explained it the best and the video was SO clear! Thank you ❤ I can finally start my weighted blanket.
Christina, I have made two chunky blankets in the past two years, by watching your tutorials and they have turned out beautiful. I made them both by actually following along with the videos (pause and play, on and on). Even though they turned out great, I was always still a little confused about that last stitch (I don't knit or crochet). This video made it all click, and I now feel confident that I can do it all by myself. 😂 You're a wonderful teacher and I look forward to your videos every week. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world. Yours is, by far, hands down, my favorite channel. 💖
The "2-front, 2-back" way you showed gives prettier results than most other tutorials I've watched. I will attempt this one, even though I've never knitted anything in my life. If I'm going to buy yarn and invest a few hours of my weekend doing this, I want the final product to be as good looking as I can make it. Thank you for the inspiration and the clear instructions. Wish me luck!
Amazing video!!! Just made a blanket tonight using six things of chunky yarn. Took a couple hours, but will make a great gift for my wife! Great explanation!
hey just wondering, about how big did six chunky yarns make the blanket? twin, full, queen? im trying to make a big one as an anniversary gift for my husband
My sister just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and I made a matching blanket for her and him and she absolutely loved them. It was my first time doing a chunky knit blanket so thank you so much for this tutorial.
This was so easy to understand! I appreciate how you go into detail about everything: how many skeins, the actual completed size, the stitch types and how to do them, and also how to care for them. Your voice is very soothing and comforting and it kept my attention on your work. I can’t wait to try this exact one for some gifts for my family this year! So glad I found your channel!! ❤❤
I can’t wait to make one. Another channel said people who go from craft to craft are called “Hobby Hoppers”. That’s exactly what I am. I love it all. I especially enjoy everything you do and it’s so beautiful. I love your home decor and renovations the most. Thanks for sharing all of your projects. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is fun to learn about. I love to knit, and watching this feels like being a miniature elf watching a giant knit. We get to see how the stitches really work. I bet its gonna be so cozy. Your videos are inspiring in creative ways and just importantly in confidence building. I can do this for my home. Thank you.
I love the slow pace and close-up shots of you doing what you are talking about! It seems doable to me when you take it slow and your voice pacing and tone make it a project I think I can accomplish! Thank you! Great tutorial!
I thought I’d make a chunky blanket for my granddaughter. I’ve watched 3 videos ( maybe more) and this one is by far the easiest to follow. I appreciate the details and you helping me get through the end of the rows. My fear is it’ll end up being a triangle! This was extremely Helpful. I’ll watch this as I make my little blanket. Thank you. ❤❤❤
I have watched so many chunky blanket tutorials but yours is the only one that I can actually follow enough to think I can do it. Yours makes me brave enough to think about going and buying the balls of yarn to try to out without huge fear of wasting money. I really want to try one for my own home.
Thank you, so much, for sharing this. I, absolutely, LOVE this pattern. I'd seen it many times before, but had never looked up how, EXACTLY, to do it. I'm SO GLAD I found you tonight! I'm going to a friend's "surprise" birthday party this weekend and her husband said, "No gifts!" so, of COURSE, I'm making her a BEAUTIFUL blanket. You know, just a little something personal from friend to friend - not a "gift. 😂 After all, who doesn't want a blanket like this?? Thank you, again, for the tutorial and explaining each step so that it's understandable.
Thank you for such a simple and easy to follow tutorial, this is the first one that I haven’t felt overwhelmed by and I’m super excited to start my chunky blanket knitting adventure! ❤
Thank you for doing this! I have just gotten 12 rolls of sage green chenille yarn, jumbo and so excited to use this tutorial! It is my first time knitting without a loom, so I’m pretty excited for this! I have to say, even just watching this I can understand how to do this! This tutorial is super simple, and great for beginners like me! Thank you 💖
I can not tell you how much I appreciate this tutorial!! The way you broke down each step in such a articulate and concise manner made me want to jump up and make a blanket! 😊 I tried to make these last year but none turned out the way I wanted but it wasn’t until I watch this tutorial that I realized the mistakes I was making. I had watched several tutorials trying to figure out what I was doing wrong but just ended up walking away from it. I’m going to dig out my yarn and try again!
THANK YOU!! I have tried several times to make one of these blankets but with the way you presented the instructions..I MADE ONE!! 😊 I wish I could upload a photo but it’s GORGEOUS!
Just finished one of these , first timer, it’s a Xmas present for my brother and his family. Such great instructions. Had a little learning curve but happy with the finished product. Can’t wait to make one for myself
You are very easy to follow and the tone of your voice makes me feel calm and peaceful. I have tried several of these for gifts but im finding it hard to make it come out straight and even. My next one will be with your video. Thank you for all you do to share your skills!❤
The best teacher!! I wish you lived near me to do lessons. I'll be making mine a n d. I'm going to keep your video on while I'm doing it. Thank you. I'm making a King size. I bought 18 sheins,
I did it! I bought 14 skein of bernat blanket big yarn. I’ve had it in the back seal of my car for a month. I’m going to have to search your blanket tutorials to find the design I fell in love with. I’m thrilled that this video reinforced my choice of jumbo chenille. BTW. I love the boys new haircuts. I have a friend who gave his big black standard boy a flat top ala grace jones. It was the coolest grooming I’ve ever seen on a poodle (the standard pulled it off best).
Thank you for your thorough explanatiions, it’s always a pleasure to watch and listen to your warm voice. Also I adore the way you are with your pets, they are fun to watch !
I’ve just started doing chunky knit blankets and after multiple multiple videos I found yours! Can I just say that I’m not only now liking the process but am also trying to figure out how to keep this blanket for myself!! In the first few minutes of your tutorial I tore my whole blanket apart and started over…not even knowing at the time that the pattern would also be different! Which btw thru seeing pictures while purchasing yarn I’ve wondered how to do different stitches. This also happens to be the pattern I had my eye on! So much to my surprise when starting the 3rd row I discovered this would turn into my favorite blanket! Now I’m just trying to figure out how to get your voice on tape to put me to sleep!?😂 Sorry if that sounds a tad creepy!! But has anyone ever told you that your voice is soothing? Anyway I just wanted to say TY for making this process 10 times easier that anyone else has thus far! Hoping there are more videos on your channel similar to this one. 🤞👌
Followed this tutorial and made a blanket, this was my first time ever using chunky yarn and hand knitting. Turned out awesome. I took some 2.5-3 hrs because I had to redo a few rows after I missed a loop or some such . Tutorial is super easy to follow. Thank you
This was VERY helpful for me. I posted a question on a previous video about how you add another skein of yarn into a project and you answered me (thank you) but the visual is always so helpful! I made my first blanket yesterday and it is beautiful! - I am so proud of myself! Thank you!!
I’ve been looking for a project to make for my daughter for a very long time. I came across your video and thought this would make the perfect Christmas gift. I made a couple of errors and had to undo a few rows but that’s because I missed a few loops. Your video was very simple to follow and you gave a lot of Important information so I want to thank you. My daughter’s blanket came out beautifully and I’m excited to give it to her for Christmas. Thank you for making this video.
Hi! Can you tell me what size you made and how much yarn you needed? I first need an idea of what I might be spending per blanket before I dive in!! Thanks!
Hello Christina. Glad you took a break from all of your hard work and did this fun project instead. You have a way of explaining/teaching that even the slowest student can learn. And i do welcome the doggies' madness. It's the highlight of your videos. Thank you. Have a wonderful week.
I love the ease of making and care of this blanket. I do love chunky blankets and so do my dogs. Give Raphael and Hadley a big hug. Thanks Christina for another great video !!
I'm so glad you did this video. I did a couple of hand crochet afghans but I struggled with how much yarn for a big blanket. I love the big ones that fully cover you and extra left over for fur babies lol I loved them playing at the end...I have one that anytime the wind is whistling or a thunderstorm he must have a thunder vest
Thank you sweetie for all the info on the chunky blankets very much appreciated!!!!!! I absolutely am loving the new blanket you made in the video absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Y’all all have a blessed and beautiful day also weekend to!!!! Toodles till next time sweetie ♥️
You are a phenomenal teacher! I love to watch and thanks for the tip with the merino wool! I have wanted to make one but now I know it’s definitely not for my house lol! Have a great weekend!
Miss Christina, I have thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial. I’ve never made a chunky blanket. I have needed some but not blankets just needed items. I never quite got it but I think with your explanation I can do this is very beautiful. I have my yarn and I’ve got started I’m 83 years old but I think I’m still learning. Thank you again for your very informative tutorial. Can’t wait to get my blanket finished.
Your technique is very encouraging for a beginner. Your voice also is very soothing while complimenting the process. The excellent information of the various types and care are such a plus. Oh the finish chunky blanket is gorgeous.
Thank you for answering all the questions I had about costs and care. I was afraid to start and get half way and realize it was going to cost a bazillion dollars. This makes it much easier to plan for size and type!
Christina you make this very clear, I would love to try it, but live in Australia and unfortunately we don’t have economical craft stores over here, ( that I know of) and I’ve been into craft for around 50 years. You are so lucky having stores like Hobby Lobby ect, wish they would open stores in Australia. Thanks for sharing your skills with us, best wishes always from Australia x
I am trying this hand knitting. Watched a couple more tutorials. But I came back to yours to give me more confidence. Thank you for all your good content. I hope and pray you are feeling better. 🙏
Thank you Christina for your valuable advice. In France it's a bit more complicated to find these big balls and it's very expensive, there is internet of course, but I like to touch and see in real, because sometimes it's disappointing. Your blankets are beautiful, so cozy, I understand that your dogs and his cat love to curl up in them !!!!
Evening to you Christina, so nice to have you back on screen. The instruction and the advice or suggestions on the various yarns is so important. I agree for every day use as well as for heavy traffic, fourr legged traffic, I think Chenille is the better option. I have to smile, the dogs looking beautiful as always, yet with the hair cuts they just need that extra comfy around the waist. The instructions are very good, and when a beginner why rush, it is a new venture and to enjoy your work, take your time, it will cut out the frustration. The finger knits are so lovely to use in the house, and it is great to be able to wash and dry at home. I prefer my own cleaning stuff, then I also am at ease there will be no allergies coming back from the laundry services. Thank you for showing the animals, it is great to see them and I really enjoy their naughty fooling around. It is only the cat that knows how to behave as she is so sophisticated. Thank you for sharing take care ❤
It is beautiful and love the neutral colour. The mountain view and the serenity of the lake is breath taking... Aaah not to forget the doggos so adorable too 🧡
Thank you for such a great tutorial! Your voice is very relaxing and your explanation of each step is so easy to follow and understand. Due to previous hand surgeries and rheumatoid arthritis, I have been unable to comfortably crochet which I really miss. I tried learning to knit years ago but just got so frustrated with it. After searching for a gift to make for a special friend, I found several videos on hand knitting. After watching yours, I thought that this is something I CAN do and can't wait to start. Thank you!
I have made 5 chenille blankets and I’ve never seen someone explain so precise like you. I’ve always wanted to knit a Merino wool but I did see it frayed and peeled and I said no I don’t like the look. Thank you for your tutorial will be making another in this pattern.
Thank you so much for explaining the types of yarns to use and providing so much useful detail about them. I have been searching and searching the entire internet and TH-cam to find this info and you are the only one I was able to find it with in the context I needed it for. Great info in this video!!!
I don’t knit & most likely never will, but I still watch your videos - lol - greeting from sunny (but chilly today) Central Florida ! Hope you all will say a little prayer for all the poor people of Ukraine - my heart breaks for them 🙏
Thank you so much -hopefully I’ll be a grandma in the foreseeable future and I enjoyed learning how to make a chenille blanket with you!!!! You are so thorough 😊
Thankyou I think this will be my new hobby . Since becoming I’ll few years back I have struggled with pain daily this will be a way to keep me occupied x
Loved your tutorial!! Your instructions were perfect and your calm caring voice had me watch your tutorial completely from beginning to end! I have become addicted to making chunky blankets!! Thank you!
Lovely work. I crochet seasonally. I have done many designs in spiral. I would love to dive into chunky channeille and by hand. Just awesome! I know what you mean by sheddy types of wool. I don't care for them. And my funky chunky channeille hats are scrumptious! No freying. Stays supple. Sure to last generations like the good ol' days A? I could live and weave that wool into so many lovely items! Thanks for sharing. It's been a real inspiration!
Christina, this was really helpful, the explanation of the types of yarn and the care and cost. Since I happened onto your channel I have made a number of throws/blankets and my favorite is also the Bernat chunky chenille yarn. It works up so easily and quickly into a fabulous project. I appreciate your thoughts on yarns and I love ideas I get when you decoupage things I had never considered. Currently, we are preparing to build and living in a SMALL apartment, so the furniture refinishing and larger decoration projects aren't something I can do. We have no pets, but your crew is adorable! I hope you have a splendid week!
I’m soooooo in love with your chunky blankets. They look amazing. I really love the oversized gray one you just did♥️. I would like to see it spread on the bed🤗. One of these days I will be brave & do one. Your instructions are so good.
So beautiful. I'm taking a class for my birthday and I'm excited, just been watching tutorials on TH-cam trying to get an idea of what I'm getting into
Thank you, I'm very happy with how my blanket came out. I miscalculated how much yarn that last row would take and was left with 5"and 4 more loops to back track through, but made it work
Excellent video! The most comprehensive video on chunky blankets that I have seen. I notice your pets don't really shed. Have you had experience with long haired pets and these blankets?
Glad it was helpful! Actually my husband sheds and the blankets are great with him!!! LOL!!! 😂. Actually I have not had long haired pets, I am allergic to pet fur. ❤️🙏🎨
I will try one when on holiday. Thanks for all the inspo and information you give us! Enjoy your your weekend as you deserve it more than anybody else.
Thank you for this! I am trying to learn how to crochet (my mom is teaching me), but I'm having such trouble catching on, so I looked up something that would be easier to learn first and finger knitting came up. I think starting off with bigger loops will help me. I also like the chenille yarn more anyway for blankets and pillows! Will definitely be referring to this video when I start!
Thank you for such a comprehensive tutorial! Not only did you make it easy to follow, your voice and demeanor make you an excellent instructor. I feel like I could knit *anything* so long as you were teaching me…. And I have zero knitting experience 😂
Hello and thank you for this very helpful tutorial! It’s the best video on this project that I’ve seen yet! And I’ve seen quite a few different people making these, but sometimes the video is kind of rushed, but you made it so easy to follow, plus you gave so much helpful info on the different types of yarn out there for this particular project! I really appreciate you taking time to make project this and share it with all of us! 🙏🏼💖
I just want to thank you so much!! What a wonderful craft! Making one because of you! Thank you also for your classy videos and wonderful beautiful animals!!
Outstanding video! Thank you so much. This is the first video that I have come across, and absolutely happy I did, that is detailed and answered all my questions. You are an outstanding instructor who really cares about her viewers. And it shows in the videos by you patiently explaining everything there is to know about this craft when using chenille yarns. Definitely a fan for life. Can’t wait to watch all your previous and future videos. Love and light always!💙✨!
Spectacular Teacher!!! Thank you so very much for being so patient & sharing your craft. The great detail oriented in every way! I viewed about 5+ other tutorials on making these sorts of blankets bf I found this channel & I was CONFUSED & giving up as a 100% complete Novice trying to keep up with the quick moves but no way. Thank you! Susie 🙃😊🧶

You made one for your wife??!? What a great husband! I bet that she loved it!

Hi! Can you tell me what size you made and how much yarn you needed? I first need an idea of what I might be spending per blanket before I dive in!! Thanks!
Hello Christina. Glad you took a break from all of your hard work and did this fun project instead. You have a way of explaining/teaching that even the slowest student can learn.
And i do welcome the doggies' madness. It's the highlight of your videos.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful week.
Thank you so much!❤️🎨🙏
I love the ease of making and care of this blanket. I do love chunky blankets and so do my dogs. Give Raphael and Hadley a big hug. Thanks Christina for another great video !!
I'm so glad you did this video. I did a couple of hand crochet afghans but I struggled with how much yarn for a big blanket. I love the big ones that fully cover you and extra left over for fur babies lol
I loved them playing at the end...I have one that anytime the wind is whistling or a thunderstorm he must have a thunder vest
Thank you sweetie for all the info on the chunky blankets very much appreciated!!!!!! I absolutely am loving the new blanket you made in the video absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Y’all all have a blessed and beautiful day also weekend to!!!! Toodles till next time sweetie ♥️
You are so welcome!❤️🎨🙏
But im confused with the third row how do u connect it to the 4th row or how do u tie in the 3rd with 1st row on the right u only show left
You are a phenomenal teacher! I love to watch and thanks for the tip with the merino wool! I have wanted to make one but now I know it’s definitely not for my house lol! Have a great weekend!
You are so welcome Pat!!! Glad you enjoyed it!!! ❤️🎨🙏
Indeed, the best
Miss Christina, I have thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial. I’ve never made a chunky blanket. I have needed some but not blankets just needed items. I never quite got it but I think with your explanation I can do this is very beautiful. I have my yarn and I’ve got started I’m 83 years old but I think I’m still learning. Thank you again for your very informative tutorial. Can’t wait to get my blanket finished.
Teachers back then used to teach indeed, Lady you know how to write properly. Enjoy your crochet and may Jesus bless you ❤
Your technique is very encouraging for a beginner. Your voice also is very soothing while complimenting the process. The excellent information of the various types and care are such a plus. Oh the finish chunky blanket is gorgeous.
Thank you for answering all the questions I had about costs and care. I was afraid to start and get half way and realize it was going to cost a bazillion dollars. This makes it much easier to plan for size and type!
Glad it was helpful!❤️🎨🙏
Christina you make this very clear, I would love to try it, but live in Australia and unfortunately we don’t have economical craft stores over here, ( that I know of) and I’ve been into craft for around 50 years. You are so lucky having stores like Hobby Lobby ect, wish they would open stores in Australia. Thanks for sharing your skills with us, best wishes always from Australia x
I am trying this hand knitting. Watched a couple more tutorials. But I came back to yours to give me more confidence. Thank you for all your good content. I hope and pray you are feeling better. 🙏
I'm a beginner knitter and this is the best informational video I've found. So helpful, thank you!
The best instructions I have ever seen.
I love seeing your doggies gambolling about in the background 🥰 I actually prefer the look of your chenille blankets versus the merino ones. Perfect
Thanks Julie!!! Glad you liked the Chenille!!! ❤️🎨🙏
Thank You SOOO MUCH for calling these details out!
You are so welcome! ❤️🙏🎨
Excellent instructional video. Christina gives calm, clear instruction without all the usual me! me! blather. Excellent camera work also.
You’re a great teacher and your voice is soothing. Very easy listening. Thank you!
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, YOUR ATTITUDE, COMB VOISE AND MUSIC, THANK YOU CHRISTINA!
Thanks so much for your kind words and support to my channel, greatly appreciated! ❤️🙏🎨
Thank you Christina for your valuable advice. In France it's a bit more complicated to find these big balls and it's very expensive, there is internet of course, but I like to touch and see in real, because sometimes it's disappointing. Your blankets are beautiful, so cozy, I understand that your dogs and his cat love to curl up in them !!!!
Evening to you Christina, so nice to have you back on screen. The instruction and the advice or suggestions on the various yarns is so important. I agree for every day use as well as for heavy traffic, fourr legged traffic, I think Chenille is the better option. I have to smile, the dogs looking beautiful as always, yet with the hair cuts they just need that extra comfy around the waist. The instructions are very good, and when a beginner why rush, it is a new venture and to enjoy your work, take your time, it will cut out the frustration. The finger knits are so lovely to use in the house, and it is great to be able to wash and dry at home. I prefer my own cleaning stuff, then I also am at ease there will be no allergies coming back from the laundry services. Thank you for showing the animals, it is great to see them and I really enjoy their naughty fooling around. It is only the cat that knows how to behave as she is so sophisticated. Thank you for sharing take care ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback! Greatly appreciated!! ❤️❤️🎨🙏
Yes Vicki I agree it's therapeutic. I love creating with my hands. Happy Spring. Christina another gorgeous chunky blanket. 🌹🐰
I appreciate your approach. It is helpful to have the detail you provided. Thank you.
It is beautiful and love the neutral colour. The mountain view and the serenity of the lake is breath taking... Aaah not to forget the doggos so adorable too 🧡
Thank you for such a great tutorial! Your voice is very relaxing and your explanation of each step is so easy to follow and understand. Due to previous hand surgeries and rheumatoid arthritis, I have been unable to comfortably crochet which I really miss. I tried learning to knit years ago but just got so frustrated with it. After searching for a gift to make for a special friend, I found several videos on hand knitting. After watching yours, I thought that this is something I CAN do and can't wait to start. Thank you!
I have made 5 chenille blankets and I’ve never seen someone explain so precise like you. I’ve always wanted to knit a Merino wool but I did see it frayed and peeled and I said no I don’t like the look. Thank you for your tutorial will be making another in this pattern.
You are so welcome!❤️🎨🙏
Thank you so much for explaining the types of yarns to use and providing so much useful detail about them. I have been searching and searching the entire internet and TH-cam to find this info and you are the only one I was able to find it with in the context I needed it for. Great info in this video!!!
My five cats and three dogs will thank you soon as I make one! TFI 🐕🦺🐕🦺
I really appreciate the way you explained everything. You make a big difference. Thank you so much.🙏
Very knowledgeable. Thanks for sharing the wisdom in addition to the basic "how to".
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🙏🎨
Fantastically clear verbal and visual directions!! Thank you very much!
Me hace feliz ver con que facilidad mueves tus manos y te queda una bonita labor
I don’t knit & most likely never will, but I still watch your videos - lol - greeting from sunny (but chilly today) Central Florida ! Hope you all will say a little prayer for all the poor people of Ukraine - my heart breaks for them 🙏
Love your style thank you so much. I am a beginner, but this is been the best since my knee surgery.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🙏🎨
Chenile seem favorable to my senses ❤I cant wait to get starred 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much -hopefully I’ll be a grandma in the foreseeable future and I enjoyed learning how to make a chenille blanket with you!!!! You are so thorough 😊
Thankyou I think this will be my new hobby . Since becoming I’ll few years back I have struggled with pain daily this will be a way to keep me occupied x
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🎨🙏
Loved your tutorial!! Your instructions were perfect and your calm caring voice had me watch your tutorial completely from beginning to end! I have become addicted to making chunky blankets!! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🙏🎨
I am just beginning this as an anti-anxiety hobby...thank you for this tutorial, I look forward to becoming accomplished at this!!!
Your voice is so calming and tutorials amazing and easy to follow. Thank you ❤
I was not reading the title until she knit the whole blanket BY HAND! 😮
Thank you! 🎨🙏❤️
Lovely work. I crochet seasonally. I have done many designs in spiral. I would love to dive into chunky channeille and by hand. Just awesome! I know what you mean by sheddy types of wool. I don't care for them. And my funky chunky channeille hats are scrumptious! No freying. Stays supple. Sure to last generations like the good ol' days A? I could live and weave that wool into so many lovely items!
Thanks for sharing. It's been a real inspiration!
I must say i came across this enchanting video and you are so calming to me 🥰☺️iam intrigued by your presence ❤❤❤
I look forward to your videos every Saturday morning. Thank you for all the tutorials. I love every one of the projects.
Christina, this was really helpful, the explanation of the types of yarn and the care and cost. Since I happened onto your channel I have made a number of throws/blankets and my favorite is also the Bernat chunky chenille yarn. It works up so easily and quickly into a fabulous project. I appreciate your thoughts on yarns and I love ideas I get when you decoupage things I had never considered. Currently, we are preparing to build and living in a SMALL apartment, so the furniture refinishing and larger decoration projects aren't something I can do.
We have no pets, but your crew is adorable!
I hope you have a splendid week!
I really appreciate your thoughtful comment Deb 🙏 thank you for your kind words ♥️♥️
I’m soooooo in love with your chunky blankets. They look amazing. I really love the oversized gray one you just did♥️. I would like to see it spread on the bed🤗. One of these days I will be brave & do one. Your instructions are so good.
Thank you for sharing these tips. I always learn so much from you. I also love seeing your pets.
You are so welcome! ❤️🎨🙏
Very easily explained for a novice! Thank you
So beautiful. I'm taking a class for my birthday and I'm excited, just been watching tutorials on TH-cam trying to get an idea of what I'm getting into
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🎨🙏
Been making them for several years- did not know we could incorporate a pattern! Yay!!
Thanks again for sharing ❣ best video I have seen on making chunky blankets.
Thank you, I'm very happy with how my blanket came out. I miscalculated how much yarn that last row would take and was left with 5"and 4 more loops to back track through, but made it work
Excellent video! The most comprehensive video on chunky blankets that I have seen. I notice your pets don't really shed. Have you had experience with long haired pets and these blankets?
Glad it was helpful! Actually my husband sheds and the blankets are great with him!!! LOL!!! 😂. Actually I have not had long haired pets, I am allergic to pet fur. ❤️🙏🎨
Thanks for this deep dive into the process. Under your tutelage, I've created several chunky blankets, about which I'm very pleased. Thanks!!!! ❤❤❤
Excellent instructions. Love your voice and your pets.
This tutorial și THE BEST. I love your voice and the blankets you make. You truly inspire me. I will definitly try it!!!❤
Thank you! 😊🎨🙏❤️
Thank you for the amazing tutorial. I just completed a blanket for my daughter and granddaughter. They are absolutely over the moon with it!
That’s fantastic!! 🤗♥️♥️♥️
I will try one when on holiday. Thanks for all the inspo and information you give us! Enjoy your your weekend as you deserve it more than anybody else.
Thank you so much!!!❤️🙏🎨
Thank you for this! I am trying to learn how to crochet (my mom is teaching me), but I'm having such trouble catching on, so I looked up something that would be easier to learn first and finger knitting came up. I think starting off with bigger loops will help me. I also like the chenille yarn more anyway for blankets and pillows! Will definitely be referring to this video when I start!
Thank you for such a comprehensive tutorial! Not only did you make it easy to follow, your voice and demeanor make you an excellent instructor. I feel like I could knit *anything* so long as you were teaching me…. And I have zero knitting experience 😂
Thank you so much. This makes me more confident about using this yarn. Your very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you, again.
I read some other comments and found that you responded that you used 6 skeins to create your beautiful blanket. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🎨🙏
Hello and thank you for this very helpful tutorial! It’s the best video on this project that I’ve seen yet! And I’ve seen quite a few different people making these, but sometimes the video is kind of rushed, but you made it so easy to follow, plus you gave so much helpful info on the different types of yarn out there for this particular project! I really appreciate you taking time to make project this and share it with all of us! 🙏🏼💖
You are very good at explaining. You made it so easy to understand. Thank you
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🙏🎨
I just want to thank you so much!! What a wonderful craft! Making one because of you! Thank you also for your classy videos and wonderful beautiful animals!!
Outstanding video! Thank you so much. This is the first video that I have come across, and absolutely happy I did, that is detailed and answered all my questions. You are an outstanding instructor who really cares about her viewers. And it shows in the videos by you patiently explaining everything there is to know about this craft when using chenille yarns. Definitely a fan for life. Can’t wait to watch all your previous and future videos. Love and light always!💙✨!
Great tutorial trying something new , I crochet most of my blankets but now I'm trying your tutorial, thank you for sharing
Spectacular Teacher!!! Thank you so very much for being so patient & sharing your craft. The great detail oriented in every way! I viewed about 5+ other tutorials on making these sorts of blankets bf I found this channel & I was CONFUSED & giving up as a 100% complete Novice trying to keep up with the quick moves but no way. Thank you! Susie 🙃😊🧶
Your videos are great. I look forward to hearing from you all. Thank you 💕
Glad you like them!❤️🎨🙏
