- How to knit a gorgeous baby blanket!
The pattern is my Unending Love pattern and you can grab it here in PDF format: www.expressionf...
(The video shows a card pattern but those are no longer available. It is available only as a downloadable PDF file now.)
You can change the colors, change the stripes, do whatever you like. Have fun with it! Change the size too if you prefer.
I used 3 skeins of Luster Merino Tencel Sport yarn in colorways: Cloud, Kitten and Spearmint.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! ive been trying to learn to knit my whole life, 32 years later i watch your videos and now, im knitting and making my own yarn! you explain it really well!
This is a STUNNING blanket. The detail of the different stitches creates a beautiful effect. I love! ❤️
Thanks for the lovely compliment!
I've been looking through blanket videos for days. Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. Simple. Versatile. And clear instructions! Everyone wants to crochet blankets but they're holey and ugly! This is beautiful! I'm using Bernat blanket yarn which is most popular in the crochet crowd. I'm so excited! I'm going to do exactly what you said and knit a swatch to see how many stitches to the inch. Thank you again!
I'm so glad you like it!
So pretty. I love the different stitch areas for the different textures.
Thank you! 😊
I just started knitting a week ago, you videos are awesome. Thank you for the content.
that blanket is breathtaking! I'm so excited to build the skill so I can make one!!!!!
I have picked up this project off and on since I was pregnant with my youngest (he's 4 now...) and I'm FINALLY done!!! I love it!!
Woohoo! Congrats!
I'm 12 and recently learned to knit oven pads. It's so much more fun than crocheting! I made my nan a blanket and my mom really liked it so I said I'd make her one but knit it…… but I had no clue how to until now! Thank you 😄
If anyone was still wondering about the border 16 stitches to 14 stitches thing, it's because she is doing a slip stitch edge. You slip the first stitch and purl the last stitch of every row so the edge is smooth.
Is it necessary to knit a border on baby blankets please?
This is a beautiful blanket pattern!!! I love how you combined all the stitches!

This was thr best video that YOU have ever done, praise God! I hav tried this beautiful diagonal stitch for an infinity scarf and will continue to do so! Your God-given talent had reached a high rating for 5 stars! Thanks for your video and please, PLEASE come up with more new and easy patterns!
Thank you so much for this video! I learned how to knit from your beginner video and I loved how energetic and personable you are! I can't wait to try this out!
+Brittany Wood Thanks! 💚
You're heaven sent really! Before your videos knitting and crocheting seemed so difficult, but now I'm starting to understand the stitches and I'm gonna start actual real projects very soon. I'm still a beginner though. But I want to do this blanket so badly! It's so pretty! Thank you for your videos and you blog. I'll send you a picture when I finish my first project (which could take quite a while since I have a lot of stuff going on) because all the ones I have in mind are inspired by your videos.
Thank you very much!
You're awesome :)
I would love to see it! Happy knitting!
So pretty, I love your color choices!
Thank you so much!
That is so beautiful. One of my favorite colours in it. One of my many favorite colours. Just as you said you can make it bigger I was thinking that very thing. I just love that green.
Thank you so much! ❤️
I absolutely adore you. Your tutorials are so easy to understand and your products are stunning
+Megan Wadsworth Well, I adore you right back! 💜
just starting knitting and crocheting. Love your tutorials and also just wanted to say that you are so cool with your changing looks and style over all of these videos. :-)
I really need to get back into knitting. I learned to knit and never completed more than a baby hat before I learned to crochet and that's all I've done since. This blanket is gorgeous!
+Amanda Watkins Thanks! : )
I enjoyed watching your tutorials, they are very helpful and easy to follow. Thank you very much. Great blanket.
So glad you enjoy the tutorials, Stacy!
Love the blanket, haircut, bangle and of course the new EFA video text layout. Plus this is a fab way to practice and learn the big 3 popular stitches."s,g,s"
+Lori Lynette My fav! Thanks for the compliments! 💜
Thanks Chandi! This pattern looks like it will be another fav! I would love to see more videos of on stitches. It has been really hard to find video tutorials with continental knitters and you are a great teacher! I have been a crocheter all my life but you taught me to knit :) Examples would be YO, S1K2P, KYOK, K2tog, KFB where it makes a difference on which side its on. Thanks again Chandi!
+Nathalie Bickley Yes! I love this suggestion! I can definitely plan on doing that. 💜
Nathalie Bickley I’m trying to figure out how to get onto your blog can you send me a link
So pretty! Now I'm a new customer. That yarn looks like it feels amazing. I've been looking for an easy, beautiful pattern. I can not wait for the yarn to get here to start!!
Twila Cade I bought some and it's TO DIE FOR.
Hi! Thrilled to find your tutorials! As a continental knitter this is great!!
Thea Stewart I so desperately want to be a continental knitter but I just can't seem to get the continental purl to work for me. I have been an avid crocheter for years so holding the working yarn my right hand feels so alien.
I can understand that. Just keep practicing. I've got the purls down. I switched to Continental years ago. There are some tutorials out there that can teach you different ways to purls using the Continental method. I think one may be the Norwegian purl. Do a search. It involves moving your needle more but it keeps good tension. It is great for ribbing. I don't really use it because my tension is good but I'm glad to know the stitch. Get online and search these out. There are many. Hope this helps. Good luck!!
That is beautiful! Seriously! My great gram taught me the basics so I am trying to learn a few new things, love your work!
I’ve had this blanket book marked for so long. Now I have a niece that’s going to have a baby boy. So I’m finally going to make it💕
How awesome! Congratulations! ❤️❤️
I love how you explain, but i get so fascinadaaaa of ur bracelet😍
😍😍
Getting ready to start my casting. Thank you Chandi.
Yay! I hope you enjoy your project! ❤️❤️
I love how easy yet beautiful this blanket is. I would love to make one. Thanks Chandi :)
+Sharon Keller You are welcome! 💜
Love your cool-neutral nails 😍😍😍
☺️☺️
Is there a way to get a free pattern for this blanket by chance
Love this! Thank you, I will be making this for a friend who just found out they're expecting.
Wow I love the colours
Thanks! ❤️
Beautiful blanket. I am a beginner but I do love challenge. Love to try it. I love to make my alpaca blanket.
Love the colors! Thanks for the tutorial!
I'm very new to knitting. Always kept to crochet for years. But curiosity, u knw? So the first channel I came across was yours. You are a lil intimidating, lol, bc u r so great at it! Thnks for helping those of us who aren't very comfortable wth knitting yet. Also, I love ur passion for diff fibers. I love all kinds of yarn! So hoping to learn more. Hagd! 👍🏻
cool pattern!
Thank you! Cheers!
I don't needle knit, but seems I can convert to loom small gauge. I have two merino sport yarn in gray so that I will use maybe for light slouchy hat, shawl or something. it isn't cheap if I remember so I have to find perfect use or buy some more in teal and white when possible. This pattern is very similar to many loom afghans. just want to say its beautiful. I do love those needles.
Love the colors
Thanks! : )
hello...I'm ready finish my blanket for my nephew. And I'm use your pattern..Actually I'm falling in love with this pattern..thanks you so much for the tutorial..if you want the pic of that blanket, I will give you soon.

Love the blankey! Looks super cuddly. Do you design all the patterns on your website? Also, would you consider doing a tut on yarns and how to best use them in patterns? Thanks!
I’m just a beginner i only know how to knit right now but I’m determined to get this good to make all different kinds of things 😊 lovely blanket!

Lovely blanket!! I would like to know how you move from 16 stitches to 14 stitches please explain!
Ann Chin she adds on stitches
This may be a stupid question, but why does does the border change from 16 stitches to 14 stitches wide?
Gloria denny dog Gloria excuse me no need
Ashley Kleineck ur rude
Gloria denny dog Gloria excuse me?! Why don't you stfu, the just asked a question!
Wtf, she just asked why the border changed from 16 to 14 stitches lmao. I don't see where the rudeness is.
wow what is this comment about? not about borders if all that rude nasty language is being used. oh my goodness. remove this from comments.
I love the blankie.
hi, i liked the pattern & the way u explained very much..thank u very much.
Love this blanket! ❤

I love it!! Make more videos!
I need to know how to hold my knitting needles like you!!!
+artistik1979 I hope to make many more videos! : )
such a nice blanket. but how long did it take you to make the big blanket?
Ana požar
👍👌Very nice I have completed this project it was very simple and easy thanks
Fantastic! ❤️
This is a beautiful blanket and extra special for babies because of the variety of textures. Do you have any suggestions of what to knit in order to practice Jeny's extra stretchy bind-off? It seems a little complicated for a beginning knitter. (I've been practicing stitching by making dishcloths.)
It should work on any project. I say practice it on the dishcloths! : ). Hope this helps.
Hi I'm jus not getting thro , I did knit one purl one but I'm not getting the seed stitch but getting a braid like stitch !!!! I started with odd number .. Where am I going wrong !!! Pl help
Love this! Do you know if Patons Beehive Baby Sport Yarn would work the same to make this?
I am not familiar with that yarn. As long as you have enough yardage you should be fine. : )
Hello beautiful lady! I haven't had a chance to really dig through your site (I'm a college professor and it's final grading time!) Do you happen to have lessons on how to knit a baby blanket with a border all the way around that is a DIFFERENT color for the rest of the blanket? There is a baby girl on the way in the family, and I was asked to knit a christening blanket with a pink border :) I love everything you have on here! -- Ashley
I don't have a specific pattern tutorial for a baby blanket with a knitted on border. There is this shawl that has a knitted on border that might useful. I'll link the video here: th-cam.com/video/UYhEXHeBYHE/w-d-xo.html
I can't wait to make this blanket!
Jenifer Acklin knitting and crocheting hat
I love this pattern but I would love if you could clarify what is row 31 and if after row 43 you go back to the beginning when you repeat rows 15 and 16 with the remaining sts
Did you ever find this out?
I am wondering the same thing.
Loved this video, thanks! Also... your bracelet is amazing!! 😍
Thanks!
Gorgeous
Really enjoy your videos , thanks
You are welcome! : )
Love it. Just learning. Maybe I'll try it on day. I knit so tight. Any suggestions?
+Krissa Leadingham Honestly, just practice. It takes time to develop the motor coordination to create perfect stitches. : )
I PURCHASED THIS PATTERN EITHER IN 2016 OR 2017.. FOR SOME REASON I CAN'T FIND THE PATTERN IN MY CART.. PLEASE HELP..
Hi Tonya, do I understand you correctly that you can't find it in your account under ORDERS? If so you might want to look for your confirmation emails from us. You always receive an email with your purchase which includes the download links.
If that's also not an option please reach out to us via the contact form (www.expressionfiberarts.com/contact-us/) and we'll do our best to help you. Have a lovely day! 💕
Love this pattern!
just ordered the supplies off your site for this blanket.....cant wait to get this and get started. hoping i like the yarn for the prices...ouch!
I hope so as well! : )
Would you recommend using a sport weight or worsted weight yarn for a blanket??
Could you possibly do a tutorial on a chevron patterned baby blanket? If it is even possible to knit a chevron pattern. I am having a baby in November and am knitting a few blankets but would love to have a chevron one. Thank you!
Lovely blanket, thank you.
+melc40276 You are welcome!
thank you so much i loved your tutorial. can you please tell me the size of the blanket with 175 sts. thank you
Here is our finished size: 30.5” x 32.5”
@@ExpressionFiberArts thank you
this is so lovely..please make more
Thanks!
I have a quick question…I noticed on your “border edges” each row changed from 16 to 15 to 14 at the ends of each row…is there a reason they aren’t the same number of border stitches?
Hi Beverly, thank you for your question.
Each side of the border actually has 15 sts throughout. The difference of sts remaining (that you see in the pattern instructions) are just a result of the stitch pattern repeat. The amount of border stitches is not changing.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful.
@@ExpressionFiberArts okay, thanks! That makes sense, I was just listening to the video and couldn’t figure out the difference before seeing the pattern
Hi. I'm a beginner at knitting but I do know how to do a knit stitch and a purl stitch and I guess I'll watch some videos on how to use circular needles in knitting. I want to knit a baby blanket for my daughter who is expecting a boy in October. I'm a pretty slow knitter because I've only been knitting for a couple of months. Do you think I have time to complete a baby blanket by August which is when the baby shower is or even by October when the baby arrives? I learned knitting from your videos and absolutely love them. Thank you for sharing your expertise with others who want to learn knitting.
I think that you will be able to do it! Just be dedicated enough to do work on it everyday. : )
Love this and can't wait to start it!
+Diane Dicke fantastic!
I want to buy the yarn and the pattern. Love the colors! Tell me how to buy it for my niece's baby!
Thank you! You can find all of the information here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/unending-love.html
I am looking for a blanket pattern that looks as good on the back. As the front that I can knit. And it looks lacey. I would also like to use 3 weight yarn
That would work out nicely! 💕
I loved your video!! Thanks so much for the help!!
❤️
If I wanted to use 4 colors instead of 3,,but continue using a different stitch for each stripe,,what would you suggest as a good stitch for my 4th stripe~?? I'm very new to knitting and self taught(your videos have taught me a LOT~Thank you !!)and I just don't have enough techniques down to memory to come up with an extra stitch so I can use 4 colors !!
I would use 4 colors, but just repeat those stitch patterns. Hope this helps! ❤️
I love your videos, they are so easy to keep up with and your voices sounds beautiful! Using the pattern what is the length and width of this baby blanket if you don't mind me asking?
How can I get this pattern.
The pattern link is given in the description box below the tutorial. I'm attaching it here for you as well: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/unending-love.html
i want to make a king size blanket how long does the circular needle need to be
beautiful
If you ended on a knit stitch do u start with a purl stich
Beautiful!
Would this work out ok if you increased the needle size?
Sure, the stitches would just be a bit looser. ❤️
@@ExpressionFiberArts thanks!
I am thinking about doing this blanket In just knit stitch making it a little bigger for like an adult blanket? That be weird?
Megan H No, but you do need to put a border on it even if it's just stockinette stick to make it lay flat.
Can you just do a knit stitch all the way through or do you have to do the purl stitch?
It won't look as nice, but yes you can
Absolutely, that is the garter stitch and it makes amazingly thick, soft, reversible baby blankets,
It’s a *great* idea to knit a blanket and send it to Australia. We are 5 days into 2020 and half of the country is burning down. Half a billion animals have tragically died, and blankets are being accepted for the animals that barely managed to escape but got sent to veterinary centres.
I’d like to make this blanket. Will you ever restock this yarn? Could I make it out of %100 super wash wool if I can’t find the blend?
You can certainly make it out of 100 super wash merino wool! We should have some more dyed up soon!
@@ExpressionFiberArts Thanks! I’ll wait for you to restock!
Love the color choices! Will definitely have to get this pattern. I had a question for you on counting rows, do you count the row on your needles? I have seen different videos that say you do and some say you don't. I don't as I feel that row hasn't been worked yet. You're adorable and I enjoy your videos so much.
+Dieanna Mercurio I count the stitches on my needle, yes, but different patterns might say different things. :)
Do you have a video on joining in the round when knitting? I checked your site and didn't find one. I'm a visual learner and your videos help me so much. Joining in the round is something I am having a lot of problem with and there are a lot of patterns that I can't do as I haven't figured it out. Thank you. The baby blanket is adorable and the video is very helpful. Thank you.
+Patti Kubacki Yes! Check out my beginner knitted hat tutorial!
Thank you Chandi.
That is so cute do you sell them?
sadly, I don't. I do however have the supplies available on my shop expressionfiberarts.com if you want to make one.
Hello i love your work !!!
you mention row 31 but you dont say how it is different from row 30. can you please explain. thanks !!!!
Merav Gill I came to the comments section to see if someone else asked this
Merav Gill did you ever figure that out? I am coming close to row 31 and I'm not sure what to do...
I am also curious about this. Did anyone ever get an answer
Hey, Shandi! I’ve been a subscriber for about a year now & I just want to say thank you for your videos! I thoroughly enjoy watching them and knitting/crocheting along. I’m also subscribed to your newsletter & a website customer.
Do you happen to have any knit and/or crocheted bikini or halter top patterns? I’d love to see you do a video on those! Thank you for everything you do.
Best,
Kat
I don't currently, but that is a great suggestion! 😍
ExpressionFiberArts sorry for misspelling your name! I’ll do better next time & thanks for your reply!
hi this is a gorgeous blanket ... I have a question do u used one skein of yarn for each color or 3 skeins of each color ? ...
You use one skein of yarn for each color. Hope that helps. : )
I am a new knitter. I usually crochet but I was wondering if I could knit this with bernat baby yarn?
I say go for it! : )
Good Morning! What yarn can I use that is comparable to this yarn?
Any sport weight yarn should work. Or you can try this yarn that we have: www.expressionfiberarts.com/categories/fingering.html
