I cannot tell you how helpful this is. All the other videos talk about how to knit blankets, but they assume you know all of the "knitting lingo." You actually take the time to explain each and every step and how it's done. Thank you for making a tutorial that is actually for BEGINNERS.
🌷💐🌺
Thank you for this inspiring and beautiful project and easy step by step tutorials.
Knitting becomes a lot of more fun with your videos and patterns.
Thank you, Stacey.
WOW, at the age of 73 I’ve realised I’ve been darning in ends wrong all these years. Always willing to learn something new
I made this for my brother in 2015 for Christmas. It is huge over 6' tall and over 5' wide. He is over 6' he called it a man size blanket. I worked on it throughout 2015 starting February 2015 & finishing December 2015. His reaction was totally worth the time & money it took to make it. I spent between $150-$200 for the yarn.
Crystal Suttles such a adorable sister you are ❤️ bless you guys! 💕
How much wool u used...in grams
Best site ever. There. Are so many free patterns and tutorials. The instructor teaches in a way that you can actually understand! There are a wild variety of cloths to knit, but she also explains the basics to easily help you.
I'm loving this project , totally addicted, hubby has been sorting all my yarn stash for me , so real labour of love for both of us, thank u for another gt video xxx
Your demos are excellent and so easy to follow. I was always leery about knitting a mitered square until I watched your demo. No stopping me now. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Yes, that should work fine if you're willing to put in the extra work (brioche stitch over garter stitch). But I'll tell you this - garter stitch makes a pretty warm and dense blanket on it's own!
This blanket is so beautiful!
Yes - wool/synthetic blend will make a nice Log Cabin blanket. In fact, I've made two of these blankets now - the first was using my 100% wool leftovers, and the second used wool blend leftovers. Both blankets are very nice, and the wool blend blanket has the added benefit of being machine washable. Just be consistent with the fiber type you use throughout the whole blanket. :)
This was the first project of yours that I made. You are my go to gal whenever I need help as our style of learning to knit was similar.
I've been working on this blanket for over three years. Finally I'm almost finished! Thank you for the vid, I had to come back to it a few times to refresh my memory :)
Hallo, i am from Austria and I like your blanket. Two years ago i made it for my daughter and now i make the second one for my son. And i am sure this is not the last one. I think it is awesome that you show us how to make this beautyful things. Thank you!
SnowyDogz - thank you for the note. First up, if you're worried about seaming, this project is a GREAT way to get some practice and become an expert at it. :) That said, I'll answer your question. If you're leaving live stitches and are able to do a 3-needle BO to seam, that will work fine. That BO leaves a ridge, like mattress stitch, and it should provide plenty of stability to the heavy garter stitch. Good luck!
Wow, this is so cool. My Grandma, a master quilter, taught me, but I don't like quilting. I love quilts though. Now I can knit one! Thank you so much!
I am halfway done with this and I love it! Such easy TV knitting!
Thank you for all your wonderful videos!
Your videos are Level 10. I can consistently count on your clear instructions.
The brands of yarn don't matter, as long as the fiber type is the same. It sounds like you're on the right track for making a nice blanket!
I've been looking at this pattern for 5 years. I'm starting it today. I'm on my 2nd strip. Thanks for the video.
Many thanks for a clear video explaining all the concepts, and for dividing the video into manageable parts. It really took the 'overwhelm' out of the project. Thank you for the free pattern also. You are a wonderful teacher, and your camera work and editing only add to all that. Thank you so very much.
Very clear and worthwhile video. You taught me things I didn't know I didn't know. Thanks, Kathy.
I love revisiting your videos to remember techniques I need to complete a new project. Thank you, thank you . . . thank you!!!!!!! 🥰
This blanket is absolutely beautiful!!! Definitely on my “to do” list!!
My words and thoughts exactly ! Oh my gosh! Good luck! Let me know how you do :)
thank you so much for taking the time to give clear, thorough instructions. i just finished making a log cabin quilt, and recently learned how to knit as well so i am very excited to try this blanket!
This is great as I wanted to do a blanket but didn't want to do plain squares and I love the Log Cabin design. Thank you very much, you have made my day!
your videos and instructions are always so clear. every stitch clearly defined. all i have seen have been informative to detail. you are definitely appreciated. ty for sharing.
You have thought me so much about knitting! I appreciate every video you post. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the note. Yes, I do sometimes sell commissioned knit items, but they end up being pretty expensive, since they take a long time to make. It is better for me to teach you to knit, than to sell you something knitted. :)
Your technique saved a "too short" hat I made yesterday for my daughter. Now it covers her ears with a new length!
Thanks Staci! Since I asked, I have also thought that maybe I could take a pic with paper numbers on it and just think about it once…lol. Thanks SO much for always be so patient, kind and quick to respond!
Perfect! Been looking for something to do with my tons of scraps, this is going to be great, thank you!
I’m working on ten stitch but I love this one too. So maybe I’ll do both. Thank you for both pattern’s. I’m a fairly new knitter and loving it very much. So much fun!! Happy knitting from Dee in NM
Thx Staci! It's 1:20 am on the east side of the country and I'm working on my Log Cabin Blanket. The cotton is working out very nicely and I'm blocking as I go. It looks and feels great. This project is so fun to knit and what a great way to use up left over yarn. Thx again :)
Oh, Staci. I just lost an hour watching a whole pile of your videos back to back (originally to find one to link to my blog) but they're like a holiday murder mystery - totally engrossing. I've seen them all before, but there's something almost therapeutic about them, you're method is so calm and ... I love you! ^_^
This tutorial is exceptional! So clear and helpful! I’ve started my first block today. Thank you 🙏
A good, inexpensive, widely-available choice if you're looking for a wool blend is Lion Brand Wool Ease. They yarn is really nice to work with, washes well, and blocks out nearly as well as 100% wool. If you live in the US, you can probably buy it at your local craft/fabric stores, or online.
Thank you, your tutorials are really clear & I have now made two of these blankets for presents. As suggested I used scraps of wool but made the outside & panels in navy. It was also made me learn how to crochet, only basic but it worked.
Of all tutorials I’ve seen, yours are the best, thanks from Sweden
I absolutely love LOVE your videos. I have always wanted to learn to knit and your videos are GREAT!!!!! Thank you for teaching me how to knit!!!!
Brilliant! Since all I know how to do is knit, I will definitely be giving this a try. Thank you so much for the showing. Also, my favorite part of it all, is your "Magic Moment" :)
40 rows does equal 20 ridges, that is correct. The only part that might be confusing is that the cast-on row will also contribute to half a ridge (I'm talking about the center square here). So the center square is cast-on, knit 40 rows. And in subsequent strips when you start a new color, the row you pick up and knit in the new color counts as half a ridge. So it's pick up and knit in the new color, knit for 19 rows (20 ridges). It really is easiest just to count ridges, and not rows.
Thank you I am screen shotting this great info !
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial and the great tips .
I learned a lot and I have been knitting for many years.
Love your log cabin pattern and am sure going to give it a try.
Happy knitting,
Yoka
Thank you Stacey! I have made this sweater a few years ago, and since this design is a loose fit, I have made a large, which is way to big for me, and so I never wore it. I will undo the sweater, wash the yarn, and reknit the whole thing. I will also enlarge the front band, so that I can find a grosgrain ribbon in the proper color for my sweater. Thnak you so much for having taken the time to answer me. Really appreciated!!!
Thanks for all your help with knitting! You are a teacher par excellence!
Thank you for the nice note! I'm glad you're enjoying my videos! :)
Thanks. Nice relaxing winter knit and good way to use up yarn odments. Easy enough to do in front of the telly!
Absolutely LOVE your video tutorials Stacy. I just heard about this Log Cabin knitting on the FB fanpage today and had to look it up Really looking forward to giving this a go and glad it's so easy. Many thanks for sharing this....RJ :-)
This demystifies so much about garter stitch! Thank you.
Thank you Stacey.....your tutorials are excellent and very much appreciated!
Great video.Love the ones I have watched, You are precise and every time I form a question on my mind, you answer it. I have a big stash and this is perfect. It will have to wait a little since I have several wips going already. Nice to know this will be here if I need it again, and I will. Thanks again for the great videos!!!
After making the blocks and time to seam them together I had to really pay attention to how you did that and I must say you just saved me a major headache. Thank you so much on your clear tutorial.
Love your tutorials, have now made several blankets, lovely clear instructions, thank you 😊
I just started mine! I have the first square almost complete. I just started knitting this is my second project. As soon as I can figure out how I will show you a picture. I am really wanting the feed back of someone who knits. Lol my hubby says it looks good but he doesn't craft! Plus he loves me. Your tutorials are easy to follow. Keep it up!
I was wondering what to make next. Thanks for answering my unknown question! lol. This blanket is gorgeous!!!
Thankyou so much! I just finished watching the video working on my first square xD
Very nice patterns! You did a great job! The blanket is almost pretty and it provides an added beauty to your log cabin. Thank you for sharing your ideas! Generally, I will recommend this video to my friends interested to do the same.
What excellent instructions. So many helpful tips that are applicable to other projects too.
Thanks for the video. My group of Needlers knit for a care home with donated yarn. The Log Cabin Blanket uses up many bits and pieces of left over yarn and make great lap blankets. I sometimes have a couple of them on the go, and use up yarn as it becomes available.
Finished a one piece Log Cabin design lap throw for a senior's care home. It is 36" square and has an I-cord edge. I found that making a smooth edge was easier to pick up stitches. Instead of knitting the first and last stitch, I purled the last stitch and slipped the first stitch. Wish I could include a picture. It's quite lovely.
What a gorgeous pattern !! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing it and the how to video !!!
Hi Jo - thank you for the note. I don't have a video (yet!) on a crocheted seam, but that is a great idea to add to our next video shoot. Thank you! Watch for the video soon!
I really enjoyed this video. I'm not sure exactly when I will dive into this project, but it gives me something to look forward to. It also gives me another option to use all of my leftovers. I think I could just as easily convert this to crochet as well. Thank you for your time, & sharing this with us.
Yes, I address this in the video. I wanted the seams to line up exactly the same between each block, since the seams to create a ridge, and weight. You can certainly do it however you like, my concern was that some blocks with 10 ridges and some blocks with 0 would create a visible unbalance.
I’ve used this pattern over and over again. Great pattern!
Right now I'm sitting here trying to decide which to knit first....this, or her 10 stitch blanket~ I just can't decide~!! Your comment helps,,thanks🌻✌
Vivienne Clark I’ll check out her 10 stitch blanket.
I demonstrate the quilt blocks on circular needles, but you don't have to use them. This pattern will work just fine on straight needles. :)
There are several online sellers that have blocking boards for under $100 - Knit Picks is a good choice and a reliable retailer!
Hooray! You are a god send, Staci :) I have been wanting to knit a log cabin project for a long time. I am so elated that this is a free pattern too!
Yes - you could slip the first stitch of each row to create something similar to a bind-off edge on the sides of your work. But I advice caution - this could cause tension issues at the sides of your work in garter stitch. Good luck!
Thankyou! I love the blanket and your explanation of technique is so clear that I'm keen to use all my little bits of wool and give it a go!
I had an idea about making a knitted blanket using the log cabin pattern on my knitting machine (I'm drowning in leftover yarn). It hadn't gotten past thinking about it, when 'lo and behold your video pops up in my feed. Talk about serendipity.
Well done on the video! The instructions are clear, and the different sections/segments worked really well in breaking the project down so it doesn't seem so overwhelming! I'm working on a version of this blanket, and while it's not exactly the same, the concept is thus this video helps a lot in bringing that all together. In addition, the bit on how to do the mattress stitch will be helpful in future projects I work on. I seem to have to watch videos each time I do it but I'm thinking your explanation in this video will carry over better (for some reason... don't ask me why. Lol). Glad I found this video as it has helped me to figure out what to do with my insane amount of stash yarn! 😉 I think this will be a perfect design for a blanket I want to knit my son. (I want both of my kids to have a knitted blanket from me so they have something that I touched and thought of them while working on... that they will have long after I'm gone.)
Excellent tutorial. I had planned to crochet one of these but I think I’ll knit it instead. 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for this video. It’s very clear and comprehensive. The only thing I have done differently is to cast on that first centre block using a crochet cast on. This gives a chained edge that looks identical to the bind off edge and makes it very easy to pick up stitches from.
Thank you! You explained everything thoroughly and clearly!
I've made this blanket for my mother and she loved it, this was easy with lots of colors.
I just started knitting like yesterday and I'm in the process of making a quilt and I'm hoping I am able to do this as a next project because it really is pretty cool
As long as you are happy with the fabric you are creating, you can knit this in any gauge you like. Keep in mind that changing the gauge will change the size of the finished blanket and the yarn amounts you need, from what I have printed in the pattern.
I knit log cabin blanket for my daughter it came really good and so colorfull . My daughter loves it .
Loved this tutorial. Learned a lot and I can't wait to start! ❤
AWESOME video!! Look forward to watching ALL of your videos!! THX!!
Excellent instruction, very clear and easy to follow!
I started mine this evening! Looks great! And easy to make!
Just about to start on the black borders! Its been great so far thanks.
Ok perfect! Thank you so much! Love all that you do for the knitting community :)
You will want to bind-off on the right side, so that the ridge from the stitches you picked up (when you first started that strip) will be on the back.
I love the way explain your knitting.
You are a great teacher. You make it so easy to understand thanks so much ❤
Wow! great teacher, full of patience thank you for explaining so beautifully,God bless you for sharing your experience, love you ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
I did start my first square n Ill try to use my lilbets ,of yarn its a real nice pattern n very clear instructions.Thank you.Blessings
I started this blanket months ago. It’s my project between projects. I’ve chose. A barn raising pattern for the layout, which will require 24 squares! I may have set my heights a little high. Not sure how long it will take to accomplish with other projects coming up in between. It started will leftovers. But because I am OCD about everything matching, I’m making all the squares the same. Thank you for your guidance. You are always my go to for instructions.
Hi, I'm new to knitting. This video was so helpful. Thank you so much. I had bought some Noro yarn a while back and saw another quilt similar to yours but it seemed too difficult for me just yet. Once I saw your video it all just clicked so I'm going to try and make your quilt. I started my own blocks (only 2 so far) but am going to start over (a trial run with less expensive yarn) and once I get the hang of it, use my Noro yarn...YAY...Thanks again.
You really are the best. You have helped me so many times. Thanks.
I did not expect a reply and I thank you for that. I will keep watching and recommend you to all my friends.
I haven't finished yet but this is definitely the funnest project I have ever knitted!
I just finished this thanks to you. It was a wonderful experience. Not perfect but beautiful. .
I seam into the notches of the ridge after following the Kyler's Kardigan sweater pattern and this might still work with the ridges going in another direction if you want to try another method. The finished blanket is beautiful and looks like the wool has bloomed well after washing. ~Bonnie
I have done this and it turned out really well. I planned mine so it was different shades of purple, pink and white. I chamges the border to a wool thatnchanges colour and it looks amazing! Thanks, you are an amazing techer:)
A pleasure to see and listen to this video
Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. And also love the tutorials I have learned so much from you.
Hi, I ❤ Cabin Log Blankets they are so beautiful. Your blanket is so beautiful also. Thank you for sharing this. Jean from Newfoundland.🌹👍🙏🇨🇦
