Another great tutorial.....and very user-friendly! Thank you!
Thanks, Mel! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. 😀
So easy to follow...you have an amazing way of showing and explaining everything!
Hi
Thank you! I went to 11 needles but just too big and you are right, I'm using 10.5 and it is perfect for me :)
It is looking AND feeling nice
Thank you , I want you to know that I feel I am becoming a better knitter yay
Working up to not feeling so worried to try the knit bernadette sweater wish me luck there.
I like trying your video's and learning new thing's thx so much
Hi Nichole, I'm so happy to hear the 10.5 needle worked out for you! It's also great to know you are expanding and growing your knitting skills - even diving into knitting a sweater! You may be interested in my Knitting Bootcamps. They are online courses to help you grow your skills and learn at your own pace. I think you'd get a lot of benefit from my Yarn Bootcamp and 30-Day Growth Course. Here's a link to all of the courses: www.nobleknitsu.com/
Love this pattern, thank you!
❤I love this ❤ Thank you for such a easy beginner looking blanket 😊❤
Very clear. Thank you.
You make learning so easy! Thank you for this :) I'm so proud of the project I'm creating.
Thank you for this video. Do you a supplemental video to show how to knit the middle portion of the blanket so that you are knitting a rectangle blanket?
I like the background
Thanks, Athena! 😀
:)
Love this pattern so easy! Thank u
Hi Rachel, I'm so happy to hear you like the pattern! 😀
Very nice
Please mention where to place the marker on the way down(in the decreasing process) . Thanks
Hi Anita, the markers don't move. They will be in the same place increasing as they are decreasing.
Hi,
Thank you for the great tutorial and pattern. As a rookie lefty knitter, can you tell me, for this pattern, whether I need to adapt the Slip Knit Pass for a different decease? Also, if you have enough interest, I’d love to see a lefty tutorial on patterns, increasing, and decreasing.
Thank you!
Hi Julia, Those are some good ideas for a video - I'll definitely add them to my list. As for this blanket follow the directions as shown - you don't need to change anything and it will work out beautifully. PS. I actually knitted this blanket left-handed - so I know it works! 😀
Love this and I had no idea the cakes of yarn would knit up so nicely! How big is the finished project?
I'm so glad you like it! The finished blanket measures 24" x 24"
This is coming out diamond shaped. Just to make sure, I only do the increases after the first 2 stiches and the last two stitches, correct??
Nice. How can we make it rectangular? 😊
How would you make this into a rectangle? Would you alternate between increase row and decrease row in the middle?
cool :)
Question: How do I keep the border pattern for a lap blanket. At some point I’m going to reach the width I like and just keep knitting to hit the length so without increases, how do I maintain the border pattern? Great tutorial btw!
Hi Braine, this blanket is meant to be knitted with increases to the center (widest point) and then decrease down to the other point. If you keep knitting without increases at the center section, it may look kind of wonky. I recommend just keep increasing until you hit the desired diagonal width and then start the decreases OR knit an entirely different blanket style such as a simple rectangle. Cast on 100-125 stitches and knit every row until blanket reaches the desired length and then bind off.
Could you make a video on how to wash our knit items?
Hi Cecilia, that's a great idea! I'll add it to my video to-do list! Thanks for your input 😀
What size is the finished blanket.... and how many sts are on the needle before adding the new skein of yarn?
I noticed when it came to final 5 you said knit one but slipped it instead of knitting it, then slipped second one(for decreasing)
Am i wrong or do you knit or slip the first one(9:25)
OMG Kyle, I had to go back and watch it a few times! I did slip that first stitch but it should have been a knit. The rest of the row is correct. Thanks for catching it! If you download the pattern, it is correct. blog.nobleknits.com/blog/easy-baby-blanket-knitting-pattern-free
Hello, I'm useing same yarn same needle size 10. Is it the acrylic yarn? The stitch?
I'm knitting loosely but, fabric just isn't soft to me. It's on the stiffish side :(
Should I go up another needle size?
Maybe it gets baby soft longer I keep knitting ?
Thanks for your help!! I appreciate your videos
Signed a fairly new knitter, many year crocheter
Hi Nichole, Sweet Roll is an acrylic yarn. To me, it felt a bit cottony rather than wooly when knitting it but I was really pleased with the result. You can try going up to a US 10.5 needle and see if that makes a difference for you.
I've made 3 of these so far and love them all
Hi Trin, You can knit this baby blanket in stockinette stitch. However, unless you put a garter edge on it, it's going to roll like crazy. I recommend at 3-5 sts around the edge to help with that.
@@nobleknits Thank you :-)) You are the Best
Have you got pattern please I'm struggling to find it
8.27am Hi, I am a loose knitter. What size needles would I need for this pattern, please?
굿~~너무 멋져요ㅎㅎ
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! 😀
Hi! I plan to make this blanket. I read the comment where it can be made in stockinette. My question is, in increasing and decreasing, would I need to change the orientation of the stitch? Or just make sure that those increase and decrease rows fall on knit stitch rows. Hm... Sounds like I just answered my own question. What do you think? Thanks!!
Hi again! I am *finally*, after many months, making good headway on this blanket (it's been quite a year, as it has for everyone, and I didn't get the chance to start and finish this project when I would have liked..). My next question is, can you tell me exactly when you need to start a new skein of yarn in this pattern? I am not even close to the decrease part of the pattern, but I would just like to be prepared/have a heads up since it will be my first time having to start a new skein of yarn within a project.
Many thanks appreciated and I hope you are well!
Hi Suzanna, I'm glad you didn't give up on your knitting! I just want to let you know that knitting starts out very slowly but as you knit more your knitting will speed up and you will be whipping out projects left and right. As for the size, I made my blanket 24" x 24" square. So when you measure one of the sides (not on the needles) and it measures 24" or the size you want, it's time to start the decrease portion. Keep me posted on your progress! 😀
@@nobleknits thank you so much! It definitely feels like I'm never going to get to the decreasing point of the project! 😅 I'm at about 16 inches right now. Can you tell me when I will have to start a new skein of yarn? If I knit to 24 inches, will I need to start a new skein before or after the decrease?
@@susannalynnwilds I started my new skein at the beginning of the Decrease section. Keep me posted on your progress! 😀
Hello, If I have Light #3 baby yarn what would be the correct knitting needles I should use to make this baby blanket?
Hi Christine, for a Light #3 yarn, you should be on size US 5-7 needles. You can check the recommended needle size on the yarn label as well. Here is a free yarn weight comparison chart you can download and keep in your knitting bag: blog.nobleknits.com/yarn-weights-comparison-chart
I'm about to start a couple of these for my boys. I'm only going to be using one big skein, I was just wondering how do I know when I'm halfway through? So I know when to start decreasing without running out of wool ❤
Weigh the ball of yarn before you start and knit until half the yarn is left, then start to decrease. You need to keep checking the weight so you don’t go past the halfway. Of course, you may want to include a little fudge factor to make sure you don’t run out of yarn in case your gauge on the last half changes a little.
If you work from the center of the skein, once you’ve made it halfway through the skein, maybe do one more row and then start decreasing. Decreasing the stitches uses less yarn. Hope that helps!😁
New to your channel ....I
Great suggestion! I'll add it to my list! 😀
Could this be modified somehow to make a rectangle
Hello I’m making a corner to corner blanket for the first time , that I want to come 30”x 30” I’ve worked out I need 150 sts for it to come 30” across the middle before decreasing. But the edges are measuring longer than 15” is this right ? Or do I just inc until the egdes measure 15 “ but then it won’t measure 30” in the centre ,I’m struggling with this . Or do these corner to corner blankets come out oblong ? I want square 30”x 30” . Thank you Ann
Hi Ann, If you want a 30 x 30" square, you'll need to knit until the sides of the blanket measure 30". The diagonal will actually be longer than that. Keep me posted on your progress! 😀
I wish that all, or most projects would give an 'Estimated time in hours of completion (maybe for beginner and intermediate levels), as this is rarely ever stated. One thing holding me back is not having an idea of the time commitment to complete projects and this keeps me from getting started in the first place.
Hi Stanley, That's a great question. However, it varies so much from knitter to knitter as well as how much time you actually sit down and knit. I think my overall time to create this blanket was about 5-6 hours. I worked on it while I watched TV - so about 3 movies. I personally, don't like long projects - all of the projects you'll see in my videos are meant to be created in less than a weekend. I hope that helps! 😀
Quick Question! I like the size of your blanket so I would like to know what number of stitches you stopped at in the middle and started your decrease. Also, this video is great and very informative and definitely something I am going to try.
Hi Cortney, The blanket I made is 24" square. I didn't count the stitches when I got to the center. Instead, I measured the blanket across the bottom and when it reached 24", I started decreasing. If you download the free pattern, there is a schematic that shows this detail. Keep me posted on your progress! 😀
@@nobleknits can this blanket be made as big as you want it to be? Larger than your 24" thank you
How many stitches should be on the needle before starting to decrease please?
I’ve just started this but I’m not seeing too much of a border. Am I doing something wrong?
Hi Ashley, the border is actually very subtle. I didn't even notice I was making a border until I finished the blanket. It's created by the increases and decreases. 😀
is there a way to make this with a different color at the border with the K2? Meaning the "border" might be black, and the main body would be a different color, say beige?
Yes, you can put a different color along the edges. I would have two skeins of black going, one for each side. You need to make sure you twist the old and new colors when you change so that you don't have holes. This video shows how to do it: th-cam.com/video/n7UfBXMWvhQ/w-d-xo.html
im knitting for doll a blanket how many sts woulg i need
I love this video, thank you! I am having trouble though. I wanted it to be bigger, so I just kept increasing it until the side was the length I wanted (about 42") I kept track with how many rows I did on the increase and how many stitches (eg Row 273 had 176 stitches and then row 274 I started the decrease which dropped the stitch amount to 174 -So that would be the 'half way' point) Which means I should have 546/547 rows total on my blanket if I went by rows, but if I followed the decrease of every second row of 2 stitches -then I will run out of stitches at Row 448. I'm at row 321 now and am very confused how it's all worked out, it doesn't look like I've decreased too quickly, the corners look even, but I also don't want the blanket to turn out Kite shaped instead of a square! Any idea's of what I could of done wrong?
If you started with 3 stitches, and increased every other row, you would have increased 135 times (one stitch each end every other row). You should have had a total of 273 stitches. Then you would decrease one stitch each end every other row 135 times to get back to 3 stitches. There should be an odd number of stitches on every row.
I'm sure you figured it out or took it out by now, lol.
With this method can we do king size blanket if so how many stitches we have to do and one more request if we cast on straight how many rings we can cast on pl guide
Hi Vajayalakshmi, If you want to make a king-sized version of this blanket, you'll need to knit until one of the sides measures 102". At that point, you'll be able to start decreasing as shown in the video. 😀
Hi, thank you for this tutorial, I clicked the link I find the instructions but no written pattern.
Hi Diane, Thank you so much for letting me know! I've fixed the problem. Here it is: blog.nobleknits.com/blog/easy-baby-blanket-knitting-pattern-free
NobleKnits Thank you so much! This is going to be really helpful to me. 😊
I finished my yarn before the blanket was finished how do I add on another ball of yarn?
Hi Shira, I join the old and new yarn using a square knot and making sure to leave at least a 4" tail on both yarn ends. Then, I pick up the new yarn and continue knitting with it. When my project is completed, I carefully untie the knot and weave in both of those yarn ends. 😀
You've inspired me to want to learn how to knit! Also, I must ask where can I buy the contact paper or material of/on you're desk. I love the cute forest creatutes☺️
Thanks so much
Hi, I'm so happy to hear the video inspired you to learn to knit. I started out as a crocheter and then picked up knitting later as well. One of the benefits of being a crocheter first is that when you pick up knitting, holding your needles Continental style the movements are very similar to crocheting. Check out this video I made: th-cam.com/video/852OwkobTPc/w-d-xo.html
Also, the forest creatures background is actually scrapbook paper from Michaels. They have a much larger selection in-store than online and it's the 12 x 12" individual sheets.
Keep me posted on your knitting progress! 😀
I love this option for a baby blanket. I have been unable to download the pattern. I went to the blog, but I could not find a link to the actual pattern, only the transcript of the video. Please advise.

Will this give you the nice border as shown in your finished blanket picture?
Hi Lisa, Yes! If you follow the pattern your blanket will come out with a nice edging exactly like mine. 😀
What is the finished size of this blanket please?
I want to increase the border and make it twice or even triple the width it is in the tutorial. How would I do that?
How much wool do I need for this project and what size needles do you recommend?
Hi Adele-Marie, I used 2 cakes of Premier Sweet Roll Yarn OR 490 yards worsted weight yarn and size US 10 needles. I used a circular needle to accommodate the large number of stitches. You can find all of the information as well as a free printable pattern here: blog.nobleknits.com/blog/easy-baby-blanket-knitting-pattern-free
How long did it take to make? I have until march 21st to have one done
Sorry for the delay in responding, but even if you start now, you can complete this project by March 21st! 😀
How many stitches do you recommend doing when starting to knit it
Hi Ashvika, this blanket starts by casting on three stitches.😀
Can I ask how you change your colour and at what point?
Hi Ashley, There is no color changing with this project. I used a self-striping yarn so it did all of the color changes for me. 😀
But if you wanted to switch a color how would you do that?
I am on row 50 and it is looking very triangular... is this normal?
Hi Lizzy, Yes! You are knitting from corner to corner. In the first half of the shawl, you will be increasing to make a large triangle. Then when you reach the halfway point, you'll begin decreasing which forms the square.
This stitch just does not work for me. It just gets tighter and tighter and then I am unable to continue. How can I fix that?
Hi Brian, Even though this blanket is knitted on the bias, it is entirely garter stitch (knit every row), so I don't think it's the stitch that is the problem. It sounds like a few other things are what's causing the issue. First, make sure that you are knitting the stitches onto the widest part of the needle, not the point. Second, after you knit a stitch, don't pull on the yarn to tighten. Third, are you relaxed when you're knitting? Sometimes it can be very stressful when learning to knit and you don't even realize how tense your fingers, hands, and shoulders are. Give those things a try and keep me posted on your progress. 😀
@@nobleknits thanks!! I try again with your suggestions!
Hi, how do I increase the size of the blanket
Hi Shahina, It's really easy. Just keep doing increase row and the knit row until the blanket is as wide as you'd like. Then start the decrease part of the project. To know how wide and long your blanket is, measure one of sides of the blanket (not the stitches on the needle). 😀Keep me posted on your progress!
Hi. I am a super beginner and want to try this pattern for a friend who is having a baby. However, you don't explain what to do when you start to run out of your first skein of yarn. Do you have to bind off? Cast on? What happens?
Hi Susanna, I didn't explain it because I only used one skein for this entire blanket. However, if you run out of yarn, join the old yarn with the new yarn - tie them together with a square knot leaving at least a 4" tail on each. Continue knitting with the new yarn. When the blanket is completed, untie the square knot and weave in the yarn ends. There are many methods of joining new yarn, but this is my favorite for blankets. 😀
@@nobleknits thank you so much for your response! I was worried because I thought that you said we needed two skeins for this pattern?
@@nobleknits seriously though will i be using two rolls or one? :')
@@susannalynnwilds OMG, I must be losing it. You are right...it is two rolls. Sorry I didn't include how to join the second ball in the video. I'll need to make a separate video on joining yarn. Try the method I gave you and keep me posted on your progress. 😀
@@nobleknits oh it's okay! You are awesome for making this video in the first place! I don't know a lick about editing videos so more power to ya. You've already been so helpful. I will definitely keep you posted on my progress. Thank you so much 💕
Hi can't find link for pattern
Where did you get your yarn and needles at?
Hi Sydney, Here are links for all of the products I used in the video: - Premier Sweet Roll Yarn in Citrus Pop: amzn.to/2Hi7Zpj
- Size US 10 Straight Knitting Needles 14": amzn.to/2HijRIc
- OR Size US 10 Circular 24" Needle: amzn.to/2XEBBmK
- Clover Stitch Marker: amzn.to/2EO89U3
How would you do a rectangle blanket?
You do one increase per row until you get the desired width of your blanket, which would be the halfway point in this video project. This will finish the short side. However, instead of doing a decrease on each row from this point on, you will decrease on one side of the blanket and increase on the other, keeping the number of stitches the same. Make sure you decrease the same side and increase the same side to get a clean rectangle. You'll be working up the long side of the blanket. Do this until you get the desired length of your blanket, then decrease one on each row.
*You'll likely need more yarn than the two skeins, though.
U said to knit the first stitch when completing pattern... But you slipped it. Which is the right way????
Any way I could use size 9 needles?
Hi Ana, You can use size 9, but it will make your knitting tighter and your finished measurements smaller than mine.
Вроде все понятно, но я не уверена, что получится , ведь даже те , кто понимает этот язык, судя по комментариям, не все поняли , хотелось бы перевод .
Why can’t knitters on video knit the normal way
Thank you, that was no help whatsoever!
What is the finished size of this blanket please?
