    hey y'all! I will totally preface this by saying I am SO not a pro at these blankets yet by any means haha BUT I do LOVE the way they come out and they are so cuteeeee! and so much fun to make!
    Here's the yarn that I use - rstyle.me/+otV...
    & more colors here: rstyle.me/cz-n...
    Here are some options from Walmart, too - rstyle.me/+GPO...
    & some yarn from Amazon: rstyle.me/+W_Z...
    FAQ:
    Sizing - this came out to roughly 6 feet long and a little shy of 4 feet wide
    I used 5 total skeins of yarn for this blanket
    Time stamps:
    4:40 - Start
    8:10 - How start new row
    13:46 - Attaching new skein
    14:46 - Hiding skein knot
    16:50 - How to end blanket
    18:30 - Finishing knot
    Washing Instructions:
    I've gotten TONS of questions about this - I have made many of these blankets but I have yet to try running any of them through the washing machine. If they need a little reviving, I typically just spray them with a fabric refresher and then run them through the dryer on delicate to freshen them up and that has worked super well! If you spill something, I would suggest just spot cleaning it and then running it through the dryer on delicate. They have all held up super well so far!
    Check out the video I used to learn how to make this blanket here: • DIY GIANT CHUNKY BLANK...

    I. need. to do. this. 🥺😍 Also I work in a textile mill that does some yarn "skeining"+dyeing and wanted to explain the random knots you may find in odd places on some skeins-- When we receive unwashed/undyed yarn, it's typically wound onto a cardboard cone (you can get maybe 50-100 skeins out of one cone depending on the yarn thickness) and we clip yarn strands from several cones at a time onto a machine with a rotating cylinder to make "hanks". (they look like if you were to wrap string around your finger several times, knot it to its own end, and pull it off. except picture your finger being about a yard in circumference😂) anywho that's what I do, I portion out and secure the yarn before it's dyed in hank form. So once I've made 50-100 hanks/skeins out of a single cone, I have to attach the tail end of that cone to the "start" of a second cone in order to have a completed skein when the first cone runs out. This is where most of those oddly placed knots come from, skeins transitioning from one cone to the next. It's never predictable where on a skein that knot could end up unfortunately. I'm not sure why we don't have some sort of device that bonds the yarn to avoid people having knots in their yarn projects but my best guess is time. The work is super tedious because each skein is first tied to its own end, then secured with 2 additional knots so as to protect the "hank" it's in. i manage 1,300-1,500 skeins in a day and i'd be lying if I said I retain any sanity by the end of it 😂 anyways hope anyone curious that actually read this has a good day/night lol❤️

      @ShannonAndersen  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      omg! this was seriously so interesting to read!! thank you for taking the time to explain all of this - I literally had no idea! but that makes perfect sense! it would probably be nice if they could just bond it together like you said to avoid the weird knots but honestly, the knots aren't an issue for this blanket thankfully! it sounds like such a cool job you have! thank you again for sharing all of this info!🤗

    The knot at the very beginning is from production, if you watch the How Its Made video for yarn you'll see them tie that little knot when they run out and start back over, it usually ends up in the middle of the yarn but sometimes you get unlucky and its right at the beginning! I love your makeup, this is a great hand crocheting tutorial for beginners I think you did a really great job simplifying it for people who are less experienced! 😊

    This was a great tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Your loops were close together and that's what I want to achieve. In a few of the other videos that I watched, the blankets had large loops and so many holes in the finished product. It looked more like a fishing net. You did a great job. I'm going to try these smaller loops.

      I actually just answered this question in your other comment haha sorry about that! but I'm not sure about machine washing, I typically just spray them with a fabric refresher and then run them through the dryer to freshen them up and that has worked for us! We have never spilled anything on them or anything like that so I'm not sure how exactly one would clean them if that was the case but they have held up super well so far! and its been over a year!

    Do you know what the dimensions of this blanket are? I want to make one like this for a king size bed, but I'm not sure how many skeins I'll need to purchase. I know you said you used 6 and it is huge, but I've seen other videos where they said they've used 12 for close to queen size (although different stitching methods which I know makes a difference). TIA!!

      @ShannonAndersen  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm so so glad to hear that!! I have the measurements for this one in the description box so I would suggest grabbing a tape measure and just getting an idea of the size of this one using 5 skeins (maybe just do it on the ground and put something on the floor in each spot where a corner would be and sit in the little square it makes to compare it to how it would "cover" you) but if you want it massive, I would say AT LEAST 5 but probably for you 6 or even 7 would be perfect!
