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 :)
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!!!!
You can do it!
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 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!! 🥰
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 :)
Wow you made it look so easy, here I was thinking it is not possible without a crotchet, thank you, mummy🤗❤
You’re welcome 😊
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! 🥰
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!
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 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! ❤️
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.
I bought 3 different colored yarn. I didn’t even think about the fact it would maybe be harder! Your video is the best one I have dyslexia I knew this would be tough for me. It wasn’t with how amazing you did!
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!
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 ❤️
Thank you for this. I’m working on my first blanket now.

Great tutorial and the best ☝️ fully step by step and easy to follow method I’m going to try learning your way struggling being left handed
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!!"
How many skeens did you need for a king size? And how many loops are in your first row??
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
Easiest tutorial and calming. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
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!
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.
I love the way the edges look. Thanks for sharing this technique!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much!! I just spent two days trying a method by someone else was ready to take my yarn back. I will start again tomorrow and will send you a picture if it turns out. Thank you again!!!
You got this! I am looking forward to seeing your results.
Thank you so much for making me brave enough to make a blanket while I followed along!
I can't tell you how much that means to me, thank you! You can do anything!

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!
Thank you so much for your very clear instructions, I've been dreaming of making my own blanket!😊💕💕
You are very welcome!
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! 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 :)
What size blanket does the "10 skeins" referenced in the caption make? Is that enough for a Queen-sized blanket?
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! :)
Very happy to have found this.
Welcome! I’m so happy you are here ❤️
Thank you for this excellent tutorial. I think I am going to try this. I want to make a baby blanket!
You are so welcome!
I did it for my Dad! It’s so awesome thank you!
You are so welcome! I bet he loves it and will enjoy it for a long time to com :)
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!!
Watching this knowing how to make it but it is just satisfying to watch.❤
And even more satisfying to snuggle up with right? 🥰
Love your instructions! You make it look so easy, thank you so much. I’m going to make me one!
You are so very welcome!
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.
have not arts and crafts in a long time, used to do finger weaving when i was 13, i have alot of catching up to do, never done a blanket gonna try this one out
You will do great!
Excellent Tutorial , I'm starting my project as soon as i get home, I want to thank you so much. I'm so excited to start.
You are most welcome ❤️ I am so excited with you!
Love your tutorial. I have plenty of this yarn to make this. You make it look so do-able.❤
Thank you! 😊 You can do it!

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!
You are the BEST! I'm new to yarn work,but i love it and this is sooo help full!

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 :)
Oh this looks so easy, I love it ! I’m going to get my yarn 🧶 tomorrow !🤗🥰
I love it! Have fun with it!

You’re welcome 😊
Thanks! Easy to understand directions.

This was actually extremely helpful I tried to follow other tutorials but they weren’t as clear so thank you so much bc now I have my blanket!
I'm so glad it helped! Thank you for watching ❤️
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. I like you don't keep anything on the air so we don't have to wonder the how I 'll finish a project.! I can tell you are a very creative and sensitive person and I am very happy I found you. Christina
Your words mean the world to me. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy more tutorials!
Looks easy and warm!!!
Yes it is! :)
Beautiful… easy to follow your instructions 😊thanks
You are so very welcome ❤️
Thank you so much! I have watched so many and just couldn’t keep up and struggled! Your video is awesome and I actually finished my 1st blanket as a gift 😊
My heart is so happy hearing this ❤️❤️
Thank you very helpful advice and calming video! Love the info on materials an amounts used.❤ I think I missed what the finished size is and how many stitches you started with 😢
I really enjoy watching and creating thank you so much🌺
Thank you so very much! Please stay tuned for more. ☺️
Very thorough. I’m excited to try!
Hope you like it!
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
When tying off is it just the last row or last two rows?
How many skeins do I need? I want to start with 50 x 60 inch.
I appreciate the tutorial you gave so calming and easy !
You are so very welcome! 🥰
@@redesignedrose wish you had a online class. ☺️
@@nanunanusa more tutorials to follow!!
I’m redoing a blanket for the 3rd time but this pattern is perfect 😍
You can do it!
This is such a great tutorial!! I finished my first blanket yesterday! Thank you!
Oh I'm so excited for you! I hope you enjoy it and it inspires you to make more!!
Thank you so much you've made this so easy to learn.
You're very welcome!
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 able to get it to work into anything except a rope ladder until I saw your explanation
I'm so glad it helped!
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. :)
I’m excited to try! Thank you for easy to understand instructions.
You are so welcome!

Thank you so much and hello in Brazil! I hope my video helps 🥰
Omg! Thank you for this! Excited to try!!!
You are so welcome! I hope you have fun with this!
Beautiful job, great video thanks for sharing ❤😂🎉
You’re welcome! I’m glad you like it.
Great tutorial! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
New to your page and I’m loving it
I'm so glad you are here!
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! ❤️
Best tutorial, never made anything b4. Comingnout good, but I feel its to loose. Would like them bit tighter. How do I do that? Ty
Great Video!! I'm Wanting To Make One For Christmas, I Have Never Made One ! 😊
You can do it!
I noticed in your tutorial that you used 10 skeins of yarn. How’s big does that make your blanket? Also, do you have a chart that provides how many skeins of yarns for each size of blanket? Thank you.
I just made a huge blanket it's beautiful thanks for the tips
You’re welcome 😊
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 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!
You made this look so easy!
Thank you for watching!
Sorry, another comment. I also want to add in a tip. I found that it’s a lot easier to roll your yarn into a loose ball, and place it inside a mixing bowl. Then that way, your working yarn doesn’t keep slipping off. You have everything in front of you in easy reach☺️!
Thank you so much for the tip!
Wow!! Super excited to give this a try!! ❤
Hope you like it!

Great tutorial, you took it slow and described the process well! I have a question though, I live in south Florida, is the chunky yarn very warm? We only have a few chilly nights in the 40-50’s. Thanks
Thank you so much! This yarn will be perfect for those chilly nights. The rest of the time it’s a beautiful home decor item 🥰
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 🥰

You are so welcome! Yes, I have one in the works now :) Be sure to hit the bell so you will be notified once it is available!
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 ❤️
Can't wait to try this
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Please let me know if you come up with questions :)
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.
Very good tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
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 :)
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 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!
I love it!!!! ❤
Thank you!!
I just finished my first hand knitted blanket, and when I looked at it, I noticed that towards the end bottom, I had forgotten a couple of loops. Not sure how I had missed them, because both my husband and I looked over the blanket thoroughly about more than a dozen times and did see anything missing. I am now in the process of undoing the whole entire blanket and staring all over again😭😭. And let me say, that it’s not an easy blanket to undo. So, if you decide to make one, please take my advice, and always count your loops that you are working with to make sure you are always on track, and also, don’t make the mistake of adding in a loop. This blanket is a very easy blanket to make, and it has a tendency to make you whip right through it. But honestly, just take your time and try not to speed through it. Others say they can get it done in three hours, but trust me when I say, I tried that trick, not paying attention to my size of loops, and some were very loose and some were too tight. This will honestly be my 100th time doing it over🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️If I would have taken my time, my blanket probably would have been done by now. I am now a week into it with how many times I’ve had to start over. This blanket is a Christmas gift for my father-in-law, I hope I’m able to get it done before then🫤
Thank you for your feedback. Yes take your time and enjoy!
I had this issue too. I didn’t pay attention and realize 1/3 into it I needed to actually know.
Do you have a cheat sheet on sizing? I’d like to make a throw blanket for my lap-do you know how many loops for your chain?
thaanks for the video helped me a lot.
You are so very welcome. I’m glad to hear that!
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 :)
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 😊
