Daughter-in-law sent us this video link. We will be learning to do this over the Thanksgiving holidays with two daughters in law, and possibly three granddaughters! Looking forward to it. While the guys hunt at the ranch, we will be making the blankets in the cabin. 😍😍
That sounds like a blissful time! Nobody will be cold at the cabin with these cozy blankets :) If you post any pictures of your blankets on social media I would be honored if you would tag me so I can see them @redesignedrose.
I've never been crafty, so you were talking to me. I'm nervous about my very first crat project. I've bought my skeins, and going to try to follow these directions the best I can. I got lost a couple of times, so going to have to watch a couple of times, I'm sure. Thanks for the confidence to try, and step out of my comfort zone.
This makes my heart so happy!!!!
Also I'd like you to know I've watched several tutorials on these blankets and yours by far is the best, easy and very understandable!! So thank you from the bottom of my heart. My 5 girls and 1 boy are getting these for Christmas this year... THANK YOU
I can't tell you how much your words mean to me! From the bottom of my heart, thank YOU! I also have 5 girls and 2 boys! They all absolutely LOVE these blankets. I'm sure your babies will enjoy them for years to come.
OMG.. I was about to tell her this.. I am new at this and this is my VERY first time trying this. She make it soo easy to follow..
I have never tried to make a blanket without a crochet hook or knitting needles. I am going to try this, you make it look so easy. Thank you
I’m so happy to hear this! I just put out a video yesterday to also crochet without a hook so you can try both 🥰
Have you done this with large needles/hooks? Looking for a way to keep my loops even.
@@deedeeparks6823 YES! a 30mm Crochet Hook will do the trick :)
You did a great job with this tutorial! So much so that I have my Steins bought and ready to go! I will watch the tutorial a couple of more times before I go ahead. Your voice is very soothing, right to the point….no music just instructions. Thank you!
This makes my heart so happy! Thank you for your kind words :)
Thank you so much. I am a crafty lady and have been crocheting since I was in my teens. A last couple of years I have been knitting on round looms, which I love. I have been wanting to make this blanket for a while and your tutorial was awesome. My co-worker will love it.
You are so welcome! Thank YOU for your kind words! 🥰
I followed ths video!! Absolutely want 2 say I did it!!! Now if I am able 2 upload a pic I will thank u sooooo much 4 taking ur time and piece by piece. I did a 26 loop and of course had 2 undo quit a few rows but bcuz u had said it’s no prob I had enough confidence 2 undo and redo and I did finish and absolutely pleased with wht I learned from ur video!! I am definitely making more!!!!! 😁😁
I am so happy to hear this! You will find as you make more that it gets easier. Way to go!! 🥰
Thank you for this video. I started making these blankets about a year ago the first one was meh, but with each one I get better. You’ve taught me a few new things to try, the alternating stitch and finishing off all sides with the braided look. So excited to start a new one. Also I want to say you have a calm and comforting voice , you don’t rush and you really do a fantastic job instructing. I’m glad I found your channel and I’m looking forward to viewing your other videos.😊
I can’t tell you how much your kind words mean to me ❤️ thank you! I’m always trying to learn more as I go so if I learn any new tips and tricks I’ll be sure to share 🥰
Yes I agree too! I haven't made one yet but I'm going to give it a try ,it looks like something that I would like and something I could do to!
This is such a great tutorial. Thanks for going slow and explaining each step.
You are so welcome! I try to explain in a way that would have helped me and saved me looooooots of time trying to figure this out. So much more to come and I would be honored if you stay around :)
This is the best Tutorial I’ve seen andI’ve hated the ends to all of them. But this one I love so clean. My Sons bday today and he’s at school I’m going to go pick up some yarn and make him a queen size blanket. He love’s Zzz with out a Shirt as Long as he feels the softness of his Blanket So I’ll have a Surprise for him tonight . He’s turning (9yo) he’s my only boy in between two girls!!! Thank you can’t wait to see the outcome to my blanket. ♥️😊
This makes my heart so happy! Thank you for your kind words and I hope your son truly enjoys his gift from his momma ❤️

@@redesignedrose lol- I laugh because I don’t have any social media. This is as far as I go. 🤷🏼♀️I’m a Single Mom so my social life is Work Kids Hone. my daughter (14) she’s always telling me I need friends. She’s never seen me go out. Because I don’t have time & at this point I have No friends but My kids. I’m turning 40 on December- you’d think I’d have someone. I’m working on one for my little one I’ll Share with you when I’m finished with it this week sometime. Promise-
How many scans does it take to make a queen size blanket.
@@sheilawhite5452 for a queen size blanket you are looking at about 20 skeins!
I want to thank you for your very Slow Step by Step instruction. This was my first attempt to do this kind of blanket. I fell in love with the colors of the yarn, so I bought them. I then tried to find a tutorial that I could understand and follow after watching many and was going to give up I came across yours and Wala I have my first Chunky Knit blanket. I have to say it took me several rows before I got the flow of it, I did not undo all that I had done I just kept going and you can definitely see when it kicked in😁
Thank you thank you for helping the True Beginner❣️
I am so happy this helped you and made you a proud creator of a beautiful blanket ❤️
If you post any pictures of your blankets on social media I would be honored if you would tag me so I can see them @redesignedrose.
This is much better than the other videos on this as they have lots of thick ribs. This is more compacted and ends up thicker looking.
Thank you very much!
I'm so glad I found this! This was my first time making a chunky knit blanket and it looks AMAZING!!! Thanks to you and your video it looks like I've been making blankets for years! Thank you so much. I'm definitely going to be saving this video for future blankets!!
You are so welcome! I’m truly happy it helped you and hope you enjoy making more wonderful blankets
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this tutorial! I've started my first blanket and am about 2 spools in thanks to your instruction.💜 I"ll post a pic once I"m done. Thank you!
This makes my heart so happy!
Hey, how many spools of yarn did it take you to make a one blanket?
@@Lauren_Leahew my favorite size blanket uses 10 skeins!
Great Video!! I'm Wanting To Make One For Christmas, I Have Never Made One ! 😊
Wow you made it look so easy, here I was thinking it is not possible without a crotchet, thank you, mummy🤗❤
You’re welcome 😊
Easiest tutorial and calming. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
I'm working on my blanket, but it is starting to curve. I am on my 4th row and counting my stitches. Do I need to just make my loops even looser?
It’s very possible! You want to try and keep your loops as consistent in size as possible. If it’s curving in then your loops are too tight. If it’s curving out then they are too loose.
Loops are too tight !!!
Maybe your tension is too tight
Miss ma’am!!! This is the BEST tutorial I’ve ever seen. I actually pulled out my blanket because I didn’t like the messy border and found your video. What a relief!! I am starting right now! Thank you for the thoroughness and positive encouragement! It WILL be okay 😂 ps we have the same washing machine song 🎶
Your words mean so much. Thank you, thank you!
Thank you for this video. I have watch about 15 min. Stooped and ran to walmart to get the yarn. Now we are on our way home. Never done this before so I will post picture of my first blanket.
Thank you for sending this message! From the bottom of my heart. It means so much to me to help inspire the creativity in you! ❤️
Thank you for this. I’m working on my first blanket now.
You’re welcome 😊 I truly hope you enjoy your new blanket. Maybe you’ll end up making two!
Thank you so much! You have a calm and reassuring voice and I appreciate that you did not rush through. I have so much of this yarn, I purchased for crafts so they will be crazy colors! Lol! Have a wonderful holiday season! 💕
You are so welcome! Sometimes "crazy colors" make the best projects :)
Thank you for this tutorial. Your a very good teacher. Concise instructions. Thanks for shariing your knowledge. I think I'll be trying this blanket.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm excited for you to try your blanket :)
If you post any pictures of your blankets on social media I would be honored if you would tag me so I can see them @redesignedrose.
Yes, I thank you also! I mean i'm a year or more late to the party about these blankets and was going to take a class. Then my girlfriend told me about a Valentines class last week and it just inspired me to get back into crafting. So, I want to sign up for the class because my gf said she & a few others tried to do it by watching TH-cam and hers came out like a "Triangle of sorts", lol so I've been watching a few people's video's and glad I came across it. I actually had watched it before but I like that you take it at a slower pace & I can stop, rewind etc too (haha) but I enjoyed your video very much and Thank You! I already had done the braid part but was getting stuck at the main step #2. Now I think I got it! LOL I think! I'm subcribing & cant wait to see more of you doing fun things! :) I know this is an old video but HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024 to You & Yours! :)
So glad you are here! Trust me you aren’t late to the party. These blankets are still on fire 🥰
@@redesignedrose Thank you! I did something wrong several times & finally just put it in a bag and opened a new skein of yarn. Watched a couple more videos & started over with a new Skein of yarn. I am SO THRILLED with it even if it's not perfect! I'm 5 skeins in and I LOVE IT! I did do 35 loops across because I wanted it bigger! So we'll see when I finish all 8 skeins and then I guess I'll need a video on how to finish it off when i'm done! Thank you again for your video, it helped a lot and now I don't have to pay to take a class and I'm sure they will get better the more I make them! Thank you again and HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)
I love the way the edges look. Thanks for sharing this technique!!
You are so welcome!
Just LOVE this easy to follow tutorial! Absolutely the best by far!!
Awesome! Thank you so much!
Best video I've seen yet. Thank you
Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Yaaaa! Made a small blanket for my first Grandchild. Thank you so much. Now it did not come out the same but...I'm pleased😊
This makes my heart so happy!
Thank you so much for making me brave enough to make a blanket while I followed along!

Hi Rose! this is my first time here and I want to tell you that I already subscribe to your channel not only I like your work, but because you explain everything so clearly that even a mid school age can understand you.

Christina
Your words mean the world to me. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy more tutorials!
Cant wait to try this in the new year im in the uk and hope Hobbycraft sell this type of wool
If they don't you can always try to look up a comparable yarn!
Excellent video. I had bought some chunky yarn months ago intending to try one and the yarn is still sitting. If I start now I should have a bunch of blankets made for Christmas 2024.
Yes! They make incredible gifts for friends and family!!
Thanks so much I just made a king size for my bed with the Barnat soft and thick in one day FIRST TIME 😊😊😊
AMAZING what you can do!!!! All we have to do is tell ourselves "I can!!"
I did it for my Dad! It’s so awesome thank you!

You will do great!
I would like to incorporate different colors in could you do a tutorial changing colors and making a few rows different colors? Please
That's a great idea! Yes I will :)
This is the best tutorial I’ve seen!!! Thank you for your thorough explanation. I am making a blanket for my granddaughter who is due in November. How many skeins do I need to make a baby blanket and a throw size blanket?
You are so very welcome! For a baby blanket I would you 3 skeins. My favorite throw size I’ll either use 5 or 7 depending if I want a larger throw or not 🥰
Thanks for your patience with me I am learning thanks for wanting to teach me 😊
So kind of you, its truly a pleasure.

So I have actually connected my new yarn by slightly trimming the old and the new and I burn the ends and put them together. It’s worked very well for me. Just another tip if anyone wants to try that. Though I’ve done with a knot as well, either works 🤗
I've seen a few people do that and I need to try it! Thank you for the tip.
Que lindo gostei muito quero aprender fazer também como você faz estou aqui assistindo os seus vídeos parabéns pelo seu trabalho maravilhoso. Moro no Brasil 🇧🇷❣️
Thank you so much and hello in Brazil! I hope my video helps 🥰
So with the 10 skeins how wide and long was the blanket made?
You should end up with a blanket around 48" wide by 60" long :)
I’m excited to try! Thank you for easy to understand instructions.
You are so welcome!

The final end snipped off wont make the blanket come undone? Could you loop this to make a hooded scarf type thing? Thanks!
You made this look so easy!
Thank you for watching!
Bored in the summer and this definitely will be a hobby for me! Thank you so much! Tutorial looks surprisingly easy haha, subscribed and will be back in a few days!
Hopefully you give each type of blanket a try! I try to break down the steps to make them very easy. So much more to come! Thank you for subscribing and I would love to hear how it’s going 🥰

I’m redoing a blanket for the 3rd time but this pattern is perfect 😍
You can do it!
Live your explanation and the ability to put it down and pick it back up if I can’t make it in one sitting.
How many do I chain for a throw?
My favorite size throw is a chain of 40 ❤️
Thank you❤
You're welcome 😊
I’m so glad to have found this! I’m going to make a blanket for my dad’s birthday in his favorite color.
I was wondering- how many stitches do you use/would you suggest? I was thinking of making a blanket that could cover at least two people and sit well on the back of a long couch. I know the general advice of just eyeballing it and feeling it out, but I’ve found that I tend to under do it and won’t realize until I’m a few rows in. 😅
I saw you said 45! Missed it the first time around haha
I too made one for my dad and he LOVES it!
Omg! Thank you for this! Excited to try!!!
You are so welcome! I hope you have fun with this!
What’s the trick to keeping the edges straight? My first try the bottom row was so tight that the blanket was all out of shape. I had to start over.
As you practice your consistency for the size of the loops will get better. I do suggest your foundation chain being on the looser side. Just try your best to keep the loops about the same size. :)
Wow!! Super excited to give this a try!! ❤
Hope you like it!

How do you determine how much yarn you need? I'd like to make one for my bed, was thinking at least queen size, may just go king (90" x 94" )
To find the best recipe for that, what I do is create a chain and lay it across the bed to be sure it is as wide as I need it to be. I then work up 2 skeins of yarn and measure how long the blanket is at that point. Then I decide how long I need the blanket and figure out how many more skeins I need to buy :)
How would you know how much yarn to buy? for an example if I wanted to make a king or queen size one how much yarn would I need? Loved your video
Thank you so much. For a queen or king size blanket you will need approx 17-18 skeins. They are very heavy but SO WONDERFUL and worth it!
Are these machine wash?ty
How do you connect skeins throughout the blanket? Do you just knit them together and continue knitting?

Great tutorial! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Thank you for sharing this. So do you always do the same thing on both the first and last loop and then alternate on the middle stitches?
Yes, exactly
Love this.!
Thank you!
I love your video but I wish you would start and finish the whole blanket thank you enjoy your videos😊
Thank you! I’m working on a video doing just that right now 🥰 STAY TUNED! ❤️
How many skeins and chain count measurements would you use to make a baby blanket
For a baby blanket you could do 7 skeins with a chain count of 20 :)
Very good tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
I love it!!!! ❤
Thank you!!
I love this so much! I can’t wait to start my own blanket!
I can’t wait to see it!
Where do you get Bernad yarn ?
There are a few places to get it from. Michael’s Craft Stores, Yarnspirations.com and even Amazon! Wherever it’s on sale :)
@@redesignedrose thank you
My pleasure!
Love your blanket, how skeins do I need for a throw blanket and typical measurements aling with how many loops in the chain? Thank you.
Thank you very much! For a standard throw blanket I would work up 8 skein and start with a chain of 30. This usually gives a 6x6' blanket which is best for this size yarn. Any smaller and they look a bit "unfinished" to me. I hope that helps!

Hi Jen
Your y-tube video is the perfect teaching tool. Your instruction is easy to understand. Sometimes I find repositioning myself helps me follow your hands and your verbal direction. My sister and I made our first blanket over the summer and we made a few mistakes but we pulled some rows out and we were able to fix what we did. So my sister took that blanket home with her to Florida. I have finished my second blanket and I have to agree with you that it is relaxing, reduces stress and creating this beautiful blanket has made me so proud. I am already looking at yarn colors and planning to make my next blanket for my husband. But I now have a waiting list for future blankets my children and grandchildren all want one too ! You have helped me feel proud of this new and developing creativity I have found.
The color of this completed blanket is limestone (black, white, gray) and it is just amazing. I will send you a picture if I can figure out how to do it. I really appreciate you wanting to share with all of us this wonderful gift you have.
Thank You for sharing it with me. Diane Smith from Boston Ma.
Wow I’m so excited to try one of these with my son! This video is great and makes it look so easy! How many skeins should I buy for a decent sized throw blanket?
Oh I am excited for you and your son! My favorite size uses 10 skeins. It’s a good size throw!
How many balls of yarn did you use for your blanket? How do you switch colors?
I used 10 skeins! If you go to 22:25 in the video I show you how to add a new skein of yarn. The process is the same for a new color, you just want to make sure you do it at the end of a row :)
If you were going to make a couch throw how much yarn should you buy? What is the stitch count across for a throw and how many rows? I love your tutorial.
My favorite size takes 12 skeins and I start with a chain of 45 🥰
Thank you for your reply. Is there a difference between the “big” yarn and “extra” from Bernat? Can you use either one? What would you notice if you used “extra” vs “big”
I started my blanket for my 1st grandchild due in 5/24. I’m having to take some of it down as it’s too loose. I need to find that sweet spot of not too loose or too tight.
Oh I'm so excited! Yes, finding that "sweet spot" is the only hard part :) But you can do it!
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm trying to make a blanket as a gift and this was very helpful. If I wanted to make a larger blanket with another color yarn, would I just do another slip knot at the end of the first ball of yarn to connect the second ball of yarn? Thanks!! :)
To add a new color simply tie a knot like I did in the video and snip off the tails 😊
Hi Rose, love love your video. First time making one of these blankets, but so excited to try. I want to teach my granddaughter how to make one of these blankets for her new sister. I have watched other videos but yours is by far the easiest to follow. Thank you for not rushing through, your calmness helps me to keep going. I have had to unravel my blanket several times because I tried with other videos but their instructions were not as precise and easy as yours. I will let you know how it goes. Thank you so much :) I can't believe you have 7 children, where do you find the time?
You are so wonderful, I truly appreciate your comments! I too had to learn the hard way and unravel so it is what inspired me to create this TH-cam Channel! I didn't want others to struggle as much as I did :) YES 7 kids! My older three are grown and out on their own so I have my four little ones at home. They love to get involved and learn too. When I need a quiet moment I try to film and work while they are at school ❤️❤️
Thank you! :)
You are so welcome!
Looks like fun. Our sister’s weekend we always make some crafty. So we are going to try this. For an average blanket 6ft x 4ft. How much yarn to buy to start?
Awww a sister’s weekend! I love it! 8 skeins would be perfect for that size blanket
thaanks for the video helped me a lot.
You are so very welcome. I’m glad to hear that!
hello! this tutorial is awesome!!! can you please tell how many grams estimate will be needed for a whole blanket?
I’m so glad you liked it! I used 10 skeins. I’m sorry I don’t know how many grams each skein is.
@@redesignedrose okkk got it thank youu!
Amazing tutorial, just wondering a guesstimate for how much yarn to use per size of the throw/blanket. If I wanted to make say a 5’x7’ blanket. How many bundles of yarn should I buy?
Usually for a 5x7 I’ll buy 8 skeins 🥰
Waoooo. I love that. What brand is it ?? It looks towely.
I love it "towels"! It does have that appearance but it's super super soft. This is Bernat Blanket yarn!
Love the tutorial. Easy for me to understand. Question - under the materials it calls for 10 skeins of yarn. How big of a blanket is that?
Thank you so much! With the 10 skeins and starting with a chain of 45 you should end up with a blanket that is about 5 x 7 feet. I know it doesn't sound very big but with the bulk of the yarn it's a really, really good size!
@@redesignedrose Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I appreciate you and the information you provided. Can't wait to get started 😊
