Hi could you tell me How many balls and what size needles do I need with Double Knit Wool LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS SHIELA Just learnt to knit during covid Absolutely loving it Thankyou I am Originally from The Northeast Liveing in Staffordshire now but never forget your Roots love to here you talk ❤

[@p.e.gruber-gz3uo]

Thank you, your clear and basic. What size does your blanket come to.?

[@p.e.gruber-gz3uo]

Got the size

[@Bindersandcash19]

Think this would look lovely in 4 plu which l havd not sure how many stitches l would cast on x

[@sheilassocrafty]

A lot more sts Elaine, work on about 6 and a half sts to 1inch so for 26ins you would need about 170 sts best to do a swatch first though

[@Bindersandcash19]

@@sheilassocrafty mamy thanks l have four 100 gram balls of wool

[@annemahr7958]

Hello Sheila - I loved your tutorial. I am a transplant from West Yorkshire to California. I am wondering do I make this with 2 strands as you mentioned or if is it okay to do one strand since it is quite warm here most of the time. Maybe it won't look as good?

[@sheilassocrafty]

if you use 1 strand of DK Anne it will have to be knit on smaller needles so would come out smaller ..

[@martinfoster8296]

How much wool do cotton for baby blanket please

[@mariefinkel5212]

Thank you for this pattern tutorial. Your instructions make this very easy to follow along and I can wait to give it a try. One question if I may, when binding off I get a little confused... Do I knit all 6 of the border then and then knit a bind off row? Or bind off as I knit the 6th row of the border? Thank you in advance for any guidance!

[@sheilassocrafty]

You knit 5 rows in garter stitch, the 6th row is the bind off row..

[@mariefinkel5212]

@@sheilassocrafty thank you!

[@krclinton]

Will you be making up a pdf for this one?

[@jackiemarriott9928]

Also useing just single strand of double knit on size 5mm Needles HOW MANY STITCHES FOR 70 by 70 CM PLEASE

[@sandranieuwenhuis9238]

Hi Sheila, just wondering when you cast on using the cable cast on method do you use 2 strands? Thanks 🌻

[@sheilassocrafty]

If i am using 2 strands for the knitting i cast on with 2 strands..

[@jackiemarriott9928]

Can i use Size 5mm Needles and how many Stitches do i put on for 70 by 70 cm Please Sheila x

[@jennibradley435]

Im new to knitting, but I think this looks so easy. What if you want to make it bigger, so it isn't for a baby? The pattern is just the same, I would just need to cast on more than 92 sts correct?

[@sheilassocrafty]

cast on as many as you like Jenni even numbers..

[@juliewalker8229]

Thank you for the pattern tutorial. I’m new to knitting and love the design. I’ve just knitted a triangular blanket and increased to 230 stitches and then decrease to 5 stitches and casted off. Is there anyway you can do this with this pattern?

[@sheilassocrafty]

I am not sure if you could do that with this pattern Julie as it has a garter border, you would have to start it with the garter stitch and when you have done enough you would add the double moss stitch, you could try a few rows and see how it comes out..

[@juliewalker8229]

@@sheilassocrafty I’m thank you.

[@ericabates5361]

Hello, on the tutorial you start the pattern repeat with P2, K2… for rows 1 & 2….. in the pattern in description box it’s K2, P2 for rows 1 & 2…. Does it make any difference which way round you start the pattern as long as your doing the total of 4 rows pattern repeat please? Erica x

[@sheilassocrafty]

It doesn't make any difference Erica pattern still comes out the same..🤗

[@ericabates5361]

Thank you Sheila 😁 Erica x

[@letyreyna6511]

Hello I'm new in knitting, question can I use an 8mm needle don't have a 7. thank you for your vids and time

[@sheilassocrafty]

Yes you can use 8mm, i will be using 8mm next blanket i make..🤗

[@suanna1000]

Lovely! Planning to give this a try.I have an 8 ply acrylic yarn. How many stitches do I need to cast on?

[@sheilassocrafty]

The sample i did Suanna was just 1 strand of DK, but the actual blanket was knit with 2 strands of DK and the instructions are in the description box under the video that will tell you all you need to know..

[@barbaraerbe3926]

I just love this pattern. I have 10 inch size 7 needles. Would they be long enough for this pattern?

[@sheilassocrafty]

10 ins definitely not long enough Barbara i used 14in needles and the sts were squashed up

[@barbaraerbe3926]

@@sheilassocrafty I have circular needles size 8 that are 32 inches. My yarn is a 4 mediumweight. I like the size of the blanket in your video. Do you think I need to cast on more stitches? Thank you. Barb

[@letyreyna6511]

Hello again sorry but confused, you do p then knit on the first row and then k on second row, but pattern listed has k first row and p second I'm confused and new at this, please help

[@sheilasknittingtipsandothe3191]

It was probably the row i was onto when i did the tutorial, it doesn't matter whether you start with knit or purl as long as you do 2 rows of each.

[@p.e.gruber-gz3uo]

Are those size 6IS?

[@user-rc7qw6tv5r]

How many balls.of wool did you use for the full size blanket? Thank you

[@sheilassocrafty]

the full size blanket i knitted with 2 strands of DK together, had 4 100 grm balls and nearly 100 grm left afterwards

[@toots1971]

Thank you Sheila. Sorry to ask but I am new to knitting but can I use knit instead of garter because I don't know what garter is lol

[@sheilassocrafty]

Garter is every stitch knit on every row Kath

[@RcDellena]

When knitting flat (not in the round), if you knit every row, that's garter stitch. If you knit one row and then pearl on the next, that creates the stockinette stitch. But stockinette stitch can curl on the edges. So the garter stitch is a good choice because it's easy and it doesn't curl.

[@Bindersandcash19]

Lovely how big did you make this and how many stitches would you need to make it in dk please many thanks x

[@sheilassocrafty]

I made it 26x30 if using DK you would probably need 11 sts every 2 ins around 150 sts but do a swatch first that will tell you how many sts you would need 🤗

[@hefinaowen7820]

where did you buy the needels please i like them and what yarn are you using xxxxx

[@sheilassocrafty]

The knitpro zing needles i bought from Lovecraft can't remember what wool i was using might have been Patons Fab DK..
