THANK YOU! I’ve not seen anyone show,, nor explain, how to put stitches back on the needle, when a mistake has been made. I end up tearing the whole project apart, because I always mess it up. Your method just saved me from tearing 412 rows out. THANK YOU, again!
If you just slip the first stitch of every row it will make a beautiful edge. It also makes the next stitch easier to handle or knit, a very nice lady passes this idea on to me many years ago.
I was taught how to knit by by girlfriend's mama when I was 11 years old. I would have loved to knit this baby blanket for my baby dolls. I love the pretty edge around the blanket.
Thank you 😊 ever so much. It’s been 11 years ago when my English professor taught me this easy pattern. I totally had forgotten and now I will be able to make my youngest daughter a blanket for her. Thank you once again. 💐
Thank you so much. I have been looking and watching so many videos on how to make a blanket without having to patch them all together. I am a beginner and ended up getting the interchangeable set and used a 40 to make it as long as I could I used the size 11 needle with chunky yarn so I couldn't get 207 but I'm pushed it as far as I could go and got around 125 and ended up being a really good size for a baby blanket and nice and thick and warm. The premier yarns are great due to the are multicolored and can create nice designs. I did have to use about 3 skeins to complete it but I'm so proud of how it turned out. Now my granddaughter wants one as well so I'm starting another. Thank you again this design is perfect for a beginner since it's all done in knit stitch and I really haven't gotten the hang of perls yet. ❤️
Haven't done any knitting for about 8 yrs .I've watched so many TH-cam videos to refresh my memory. I absolutely love your knitting patterning for a baby blanket. It is easy to watch and follow, and remember the stitches to the pattern by watching your video only twice .Other youtube videos i had to watch the video about 100 times over and over .lol to follow the pattern for a baby blanket. THANK YOU SO MUCH for making Knitting FUN again .I am absolutely hooked 🪡again
I just want to thank you for making this video. I’m starting my first project ever and I went through three different tutorials on how to start the stitches and had to restart four times today before I found your video. The way you explained and showed the instructions is what helped me get two successful rows tonight. 🥰
I wanted to thank you too! Working on my first project and your tutorial is so clear! I’m starting to knit as a form of hand therapy after an accident. This is a great walk through. I finally feel like I’m getting somewhere! 😊
@@katrinafortner8237 I'm just now seeing this! I'm so happy this video is helping with your hand therapy and I hope you are doing well in your recovery:)
Love this pattern and I’m almost halfway through knitting the blanket. I wondered whether you could tell me how to knit it as a rectangle as opposed to a square whilst keeping the decorative edge. Many thanks.
I can't either when it comes to picking stitches up.I've only been knitting about 5 months and when I would mess up I would start from the beginning but now there are great videos showing what to do and how to fix a mistake without starting all over again.
I just finished this Easy Peasy Baby Blanket and it turned out GREAT! Its very large - exact measurements are 45"x 49". I followed the pattern directions and used 12 skeins of chunky yarn so also quite expensive but worth it I think. This is my very first project and took me quite some time (mistakes had to be fixed by an expert knitter on quite a few occasions) but I'm really happy with it. Wish I could post a photo here. Thank you for your excellent direction!
Hi loved your video. New to knitting and I am going to attempt this blanket for a new arrival in 2022. You suggested 8mm needles and any yarn can be used. Is there a gauge weight you would recommend? please. Thank you in advance 💐
I YO after two stitches…as in Grandma’s Favorite Didhcloth..but I have to say thst I like the look of YO after the third stitch better… This is my fav baby blanket pattern. TINK is KNIT backwards…and I hate to do it☹️ Thanks for a very nice video…
Does it matter what yarn-over is made when knitting something? I was told it did and have learned a few of them but it did take me a while to learn one way and once I learned to do it I thought how simple it was to make. You are a very good teacher at knitting and take your time.I started knitting to give me something to do but to also leave something behind for family and friends to remember me by. I'm now making a set of booties,hat and matching blanket for my great-great nephew due in March of 2022
Hi, can anyone help me with this pattern please. I started it well but as I am knitting I am getting Radom holes in the patter as I go? I have the shape and the sides look good...when you go over the stitch do you need to keep putting the wool to the front ? To start the stitches after knitting the first 3 . If this makes sense.
Hi! Newbie knitter here, thank you so much for this video!!! I've been searching for weeks for an easy baby blanket tutorial and this is pretty much the only one that made sense! I wanted to ask- what size are your circular needles? Like do I need a 29", 36", etc? Thanks again!
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial, I am a newbie to knitting. In the first video you yo after the third stitch, but in the second video you are yo after the second stitch, am I understanding that right?
Wow!!! You are an amazing teacher! I am a very very new beginner and I have been wanting to to start a baby blanket for my first great niece and I’ve been terrified to start because a lot of tutorials do not explain patterns like you do! So thank you and when I finish my blanket I will share my results
@@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ I have started and frogged so many times I lost count! I found you tonight and I actually did 20 rows (using a different yarn, the yarn I bought for the blanket is expensive and I don’t want to ruin it) but so far it looked great so I’m confident to start the blanket tomorrow, if I have any questions do you mind if I ask you?
Hi - thank you for this video! I am a beginner knitter and have the Bernat Baby Blanket - 6 super bulky. I only have 9mm needles with 36" length. Do I need to change the number of rows/stitches to adjust for this yarn/needle size?
I would start knitting and as it grows you will be able to tell if you are ready to start decreasing before 207 stitches....just end on an odd number of stitches.
hii I was wondering once u finish a row. and have two left on that row. after you flip over does the first 1 count as 3 then add a stick. or does your count restart every new row?
I am knitting one like this but slightly suffetent, l find my work gets untidy more l knit. Matbe its the wool l use a 4 mm needle i doing one in atocking aritch,
Hi I loved the video it’s very informative. This is my first project ever... I’m trying to knit a baby blanket as well using bernat baby 6 bulky with needles size 10 ( Although it was suggested to use 8 mm ) I started with 15 stitches not knowing what I’m exactly doing. I have now 51 stitches ( by having yarnover mistakes I suppose I wasn’t exactly planning on it ) Is it worth continuing or will I encounter problem when downsizing? Also in that case, how many stitches should I reach before starting to decrease ? Thanks again
I’m so glad you are starting with this project! It’s really a simple first project but my suggestion would be to start again and only start with 5 stitches regardless of needle size. The blanket is a square and you are starting at a corner...every row will increase by one stitch because of the yarn over. I recommend in the video knitting until you have 207 stitches and then begin to decrease (video 2 is on my channel)...but you can begin decreasing at anytime if you feel it will be large enough as you will be looking at half of it...just make sure you have an odd number of stitches on your needles when you begin your decrease. Hope this helps! Happy knitting!
Help! I have a question. I started this blanket with very large yarn. I'm not a knitter so please beware... My yarn says super bulky 6 100 percent polyester Bernat Baby Blanket. I'm almost through 1 skein. I'm realizing this blanket will be quite large with this yarn. The needle i'm using is US 10 6MM. Can you please tell me how many skeins I would need for this project? Thank you in advance!!
I'll be going out to buy yarn this week to attempt my first baby blanket for my fiance's new niece who was born just days ago. However, I'm curious if it has to be the Bernat baby sport yarn or can it be any type of baby yarn?
Your truly Easy Peasy pattern is great and you teach it soo well. I’d really like to make a rectangular baby stroller blanket. Is there a way I can do that with your pattern???
Thats a great question....I guess it depends on how lard you want it...I would start by tripling the size to see if that give you the size you want...so cast on 15 and knit until you have 621 stitches on the needles. You will need the largest set of round needles you can find though. Let me know if you do it!
Hi im new to knitting and i want to follow your instructions n i just had a couple quistions so on this part are we suppose to yarn over after every 3 or just the first 3 of that side idk if im making since i also have a quistion about your 2nd video if we are suppose to yarn over after every 2 as well or just tbe first 2
You yarn over after the 3rd stitch on every row..then just knit all the way across...so one yarn over per row...2nd video same thing one yarn over at the beginning of each row
For some reason I keep ending up with the tail and the working yarn on opposite sides as yours as if the video is being filmed from a front facing camera what am I doing wrong?
Should I always have 6? This is my first time knitting. I found that when I added the cross after the 3rd one, sometimes in the end I had 7. Maybe I didn't push one off? Thanks!
I’m not sure what you are asking but the goal is to add a stitch every time you go across until you have 207 stitches on your needles…and then go to the 2nd video to learn how to decrease and end
Oh good...I just went in and typed the pattern directions into the video. Yes, you can use any kind of yarn you would like..I think the double knit is a lighter weight so it might end up smaller but you can always keep adding rows until you get it as big as you want it then start the decrease.
@@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ thank you very much for getting back to me one small problem i have forgotten how to decrease i do you have a video for that as to this pattern. Dawn x
Part 2 will post shortly but the pattern is knit 2, knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together then knit to end of row. When you have 5 stitches left on your needle you will cast off. Weave ends in.
I’m a little confused. I’m into about 80 stitches and it’s a triangle?? Is that right??? Also, what size is the finished blanket if I stop where you recommend?? Thank you! But definitely confused on why it’s a triangle at this point??!! Am I doing something wrong???
You are doing it right! Once you get to the middle you start decreasing stitches and the finished product is a square.i don’t have one to measure but I’m guessing it’s approx 36”x36”
You’ve probably been told this already, but jic…”tink”ing is knitting backwards… so thus to reverse the knit back to wherever you need to, you tink it!
@@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ thank you i alright learn to knit but just knit and purl stitch thank you. Can you knit this blanket with just 155 knit stitches.
@@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ thank you so much for teaching us this❤️❤️i had fun trying this i’m a total beginner but i wanted to make a baby blanket for my friend’s baby❤️
Hello Ma'am, I am new to knitting I have been following this video step by step. However my baby blanket is coming out more round at the end instead of square or diamond shape at the end. What do you think I am doing wrong? Thank you!
Without a picture it’s hard to tell but it sounds like you are doing it correctly…the corners of the blanket will be more rounded instead of a sharp point
Thank you Ma'am, do yarn over after every 3 stitches or do you just yarn over the first 3 in each row? I have a thicker yarn its a size 4. I am worried I will run out of room on my kneedles. Also I am not sure how to count how many stiches I have.
@@emilyangell9912 yarn over one time at the beginning of each row. To count your stitches, once you get to the end of a row literally count every stitch on the needles to get a count…I usually count once I think I might be close or whenever I get curious. If you are using the needles that are connected with a cable you should have plenty of room
@@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ Yes Ma'am thank you so much for getting back to me. I was getting upset it wasn't coming out right. Now I know what I was doing wrong. I was yarning over after ever 3 stitches. My blanket looked like half a moon. And fet like I would run out of room quickly. Now if I needed to add more yarn because I run out is that easy to do? Just trying to make a beautiful blanket for our son due in November.
Hi, I would start the blanket and when you get to the size you think looks right start the decrease…just make sure it’s an odd number that you have on your needles. You are knitting a square from one corner
I love this! Thank you! Brand new knitter here… didn’t know there are different lengths of circular needles… so I am making this blanket using chunky yarn on side 10 circular needles. I have 120 stitches on now and I’m running out of room!! No way I’m going to fit 207 on there. I bought a longer needle set (40”) and I’m wondering if I start knitting with them, will the complete project come off the old needles and onto the new??? I told you I was a rook… please help!
Yes, switching to a longer circular needle is not a problem at all…just do it at the beginning of a new row! Happy knitting and welcome to your new addiction
"Tink" is knit spelled backwards, and you are, in effect, knitting backwards when you have to remove stitches for a do-over. I learned that from another TH-cam knitting teacher, Very Pink Knits.
THANK YOU! I’ve not seen anyone show,, nor explain, how to put stitches back on the needle, when a mistake has been made. I end up tearing the whole project apart, because I always mess it up. Your method just saved me from tearing 412 rows out. THANK YOU, again!

Same as me
Would like to know the exact US size of the circular needles...12/23
What is the length and size of the needles you are using in this video? Thanks!
8mm...29” circular needle
Thank you! Have a good week!
Without the hole corner to corner is also great and fast.

Wonder if you use less than 207 if it will still turn out square. Anyone know?
As long as you end on an odd number you should be fine🤗
@@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ thanks. I am on 182 right now. It looks like it’s gonna be pretty big. But I was afraid if I stop it wouldn’t be square?
How long are the needles from end to end for this project? I am 65 & teaching myself how to knit! 😄 Your video is very helpful.
My needles are 29”
How do I get the second video

Could you do this stitch in crocheting? Because i dont know how to knit
I don't know how to crochet...I made this video to teach people how to knit...sorry..
@@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ thank you i alright learn to knit but just knit and purl stitch thank you. Can you knit this blanket with just 155 knit stitches.
I have a question, do we yarn over on one side or both sides??
You yarn over every time you start a row
@@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ thank you so much for teaching us this❤️❤️i had fun trying this i’m a total beginner but i wanted to make a baby blanket for my friend’s baby❤️
Hello Ma'am, I am new to knitting I have been following this video step by step. However my baby blanket is coming out more round at the end instead of square or diamond shape at the end. What do you think I am doing wrong? Thank you!
Without a picture it’s hard to tell but it sounds like you are doing it correctly…the corners of the blanket will be more rounded instead of a sharp point
Thank you Ma'am, do yarn over after every 3 stitches or do you just yarn over the first 3 in each row? I have a thicker yarn its a size 4. I am worried I will run out of room on my kneedles. Also I am not sure how to count how many stiches I have.
@@emilyangell9912 yarn over one time at the beginning of each row. To count your stitches, once you get to the end of a row literally count every stitch on the needles to get a count…I usually count once I think I might be close or whenever I get curious. If you are using the needles that are connected with a cable you should have plenty of room
@@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ Yes Ma'am thank you so much for getting back to me. I was getting upset it wasn't coming out right. Now I know what I was doing wrong. I was yarning over after ever 3 stitches. My blanket looked like half a moon. And fet like I would run out of room quickly. Now if I needed to add more yarn because I run out is that easy to do? Just trying to make a beautiful blanket for our son due in November.
@@emilyangell9912 congratulations!!! Here is a video to show you how to add new yarn if you run out th-cam.com/video/6rffTZYniBo/w-d-xo.html
Hello, I am knitting my first baby blanket could I use this same pattern with a chunky 12 ply yarn??? Would I still do the same 207 stitches?
Hi, I would start the blanket and when you get to the size you think looks right start the decrease…just make sure it’s an odd number that you have on your needles. You are knitting a square from one corner
@@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ Thank you! If I do use a 12ply do I still use 8mm needles or use the needle size that is preferred with the yarn?
I would use the needle size recommended by yarn
The baby sport yarn I found says to use a 4mm knitting needle? Didn’t you recommend 8mm? I’m just a bit confused as to what to use.
@@Ravenocean1235 I use a bigger needle because I like the look…it’s just my preference
❤
I love this! Thank you! Brand new knitter here… didn’t know there are different lengths of circular needles… so I am making this blanket using chunky yarn on side 10 circular needles. I have 120 stitches on now and I’m running out of room!! No way I’m going to fit 207 on there. I bought a longer needle set (40”) and I’m wondering if I start knitting with them, will the complete project come off the old needles and onto the new??? I told you I was a rook… please help!
Yes, switching to a longer circular needle is not a problem at all…just do it at the beginning of a new row! Happy knitting and welcome to your new addiction
@@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ Thank you so much!! Yes ma’am, it’s an addiction… 💛 🧶
"Tink" is knit spelled backwards, and you are, in effect, knitting backwards when you have to remove stitches for a do-over. I learned that from another TH-cam knitting teacher, Very Pink Knits.
Thank you for sharing that info! I did not know that!
Very confused so is it yarn over after every third stitch? You lost me after you finished that second row.
I just started mine. 50 stitches on!! Yes, knit 3 and yarn over and knit all remaining in that row. I can see the pattern already 💕
@@viewfield86 thank you yes i did have to re do but has you said! 😁❤
I want to make for new born baby. How much stitch have to increase. 180 is enough. Please reply
You want to end on an odd number so do one more row for 181 stitches then start decreasing
@@SweetSouthernArtbyMJ thank you so much for your immediate reply. So nice of you mam.
Please share the 2nd video
th-cam.com/video/FsF-eCNUiI0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wqlopa6HUTgWBosX
Does anyone need yarn I’ve tried and I don’t have the patience
Is there any chance you could please tell me where I can buy the pattern from?
All good, have found it ☀️
Tink as in thinking back stitches is knit spelled backwards.
Tink is knit spelled backward, which is what you're doing when fixing an error--knitting backward.
It seems like you made the set on very difficult
