Ok for all the dudes out there who are trifling over another dude knitting and crocheting blankets, here's a little history for you. Knitting and crocheting were actually started by men who were fisherman. They had to repair their nets. This continued through the generation and women picked up on it to make clothing and blankets for their families. The fisherman worked also in the winter months. So they had to have warm things. Some didn't have wives and women to do these things for. So they branched out their skills to provide for themselves. Knitting and crocheting are being taught to soldiers suffering from PTSD, male and female alike. It calms the thoughts, focuses the attention on something real and tangible instead of memories and flashbacks. Its taught to prisoners (men and women) to help give them some creative outlet. It works. There is a combat veteran who has his own UA-cam channel for crocheting. He suffers from PTSD and he wanted to share his skill with other veterans to help them. Until you suffer from this stuff, you don't know what its like. Its agony. I suffer from it, too. And about the young man who said we need to try it, he's showing passion for something he learned. He wants to share his passion for it. Thats a good thing! You need to do this.😉😁
In a mad moment, I decided to order the wool for this to make it for my friend's birthday... The wool arrived two days before the birthday, and I was working both days (I have no prior knitting experience!)... The race was on! Two 2 1/2 hour sessions later, following your video with care, and it was finished in time! This is the best guide to non-needle knitting I've found - I'm now going to try scarves... 😎 Thanks Roz! X
What store did you purchase this yarn? I've gone to Target, Michael's and Jo-Ann's. Target never carried yarn , Michael's discontinued this yarn 6 months ago and Jo-Ann's stopped years ago. I am at a lose. I don't want to purchase sight unseen from Amazon and have to send it back. Any other ideas?
@@ritaholston6793 I’m really surprised that you’re having difficulty finding this yarn. I bought more just last week at Michaels to make another blanket for UA-cam. I also easily found it online (Michaels) . Maybe it’s going by a different name ? I’m also seeing a similar yarn at Walmart lately. The only thing ,though, is it looks like they are not providing much yarn in the ball so it might come out more pricey. There is a company called BeCozi that makes this polyester yarn . That might be an option. They do tutorials here on UA-cam . Please check the link in the description box below my video here see if you still have issues ordering from Michaels. Bernat Blanket Big.

Ma'am, I have been dealing with crippling depression and overwhelmed with life for a while now. I decided to go out today and purchase a few hundred dollars worth of yarn and give this a try for the first time. Your voice, editing, video, etc. Is absolutely peaceful and so perfectly done. I caught on in minutes and have been feeling so relaxed. And I just want to tell you how much I appreciate this. I appreciate you for taking the time to teach. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season. I'm going to finish my blanket now. ❤❤❤
Literally made my first blanket it took around 3 hours to make cause I kept making mistakes but literally worth it, this is the most warmest blanket I've ever had. I added a button to it so that it could wrap around me and I won't need to hold it. Thank you for teaching me this. 🙌❤
@@nana820able Dollar Tree even has some that is not as thick. Probably would work ok,just have to get more skeins & make a few adjustments size of loops wise!?
I am 74 years old and we learned how to crochet, knit, sew and embroider in elementary school in Germany, something that was mandatory and not elective back in those days. Don’t know if they still require that, I doubt it, but it has served me well over the years. I am for sure going to make this blanket, it is so easy! Thanks for sharing! 😊👍❤️

Not sure if they still offer it but it's something they should require in schools today, with a course on how to make this blanket. It's beautiful. 🥰
@@Lisa-hc3uq Hi Lisa, Same with me with the cooking and sewing schedule in 7-9 grades. They should still be teaching this. AND how to make this blanket.❤
Being a guy I find this method super easy. Just started one today and it is my first time EVER doing anything with yarn and I am really enjoying this method. Making a blanket for my Mom for Christmas. Thinking now I may need to make more for friends and family. TY so much for this amazing video.
@@yvrman1964 I think he just meant that guys don't usually make blankets. Well, I am an old lady, and only made one blanket in my life. I taught myself and crocheted a blanket that took many months, because I had to keep counting. This looks easier and I believe I will be buying yarn this week.
I just got into my first friend group at school and every year tgey gift each ither before winter break and im goung to make them blankets with this video. You probably wont see my comment but thank you ❤
I have been really wanting to find a relaxing hobby for myself due to severe anxiety and I just loved your video. It made me feel comfortable enough to understand and feel confident that I could try this too! I can’t wait to do it!
I went to my aunts house for the weekend and someone had made a hand-knitted blanket for my little cousin. The woman who made it had dementia and was battling cancer, but the thing that she liked to do to keep her mind going, was to crochet and knit. Her story inspired me to make a blanket, and that led me here to this amazing video. Now I’m half-way through making my blanket and it is lovely thanks to you! ☺️ 🙏
Had watched this several times and had taken a break from making blankets. Since Christmas is really soon, I decided to make my younger cousins small blankets. I’m 13 and turn 14 on Christmas Eve. Thank you so much for the video!!
Out of all of the chunky blanket videos yours is the one I used the most and it helped me complete my very 1st blanket project! I was stumped about how to complete the final row and thankfully you explain it better than any other video I found. Thank you!
I have never in my life done knitting, but after watching your video,I am trying to make my cosy blanked soon! It's the proof of how great teacher you are. Your instructions are clear and inspire the spectators!👏🧿💛
I just wanted to say every time I go to the craft store I see the fluffy yarn except today, I bought some! I have always wanted to make one of these blankets and this video was the only one I could truly find to help me and my blanket is sooo comfy!! Thank you!!
Oh that’s wonderful, I’m so happy you’re happy. 👏🏻💕I was at the store the other day (hobby lobby - yarn bee brand) and the new yarn colors were 😍 I think it’s time for me to make another too! 🤣
I no longer have a lot of dexterity or sensation in my fingers. There is no way I could hold knitting or crochet needles correctly but this finger method is something I might master. Thank you for a great tutorial!
Making this for my 1st grandchild EVER 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 so glad I found this video all my blanket making grandma’s have gone to glory and didn’t get the chance to pass this down to their granddaughters 💜 I still have my baby blankets made by them almost 40 years ago and I’m so happy I can make one for my grand baby THANK YOU 🙏🏾
I’ve skimmed through probably 2 dozen videos, because my brain just did NOT understand what they were doing, even though they were all for “beginners.” I don’t understand the terminology, why they’re using certain tools, etc. Thankfully, I actually understand this one! 🙌🏼 I’ve never crocheted before, so for doing multiple colors, is it basically the same concept for adding another skein? Just tie on, trim & go? Thanks! This video is super helpful. 💜
I’m so happy you found the video useful! Yes , you can absolutely tie on your next color when you run out of the first but only if you want the color to start right after the previous color, no matter where on the blanket that happens. But if you want the color change to be more solid (like a definite stripe of color all the way across, you’ll want to make sure to attach your new skein right before you start a new row of loops. Hope that makes sense. 💕
There are other ppl making blankets with finger knitting but ur work is by far the cleanest. It's making me try one for myself. Good luck to u darling.
Hey there! This is by far the best and most efficient video on making these blankets. I am excited to try. I braided hair for over 20 years as an extra income and it was actually satisfying to do. This seems like something that will give me the same satisfaction. Thank you so much for making this video!
This was an excellent gift for my grandparents! Super warm, and being made of such a heavy yarn, the weight is nice and comforting. I’d never made anything like this before, but the video was so easy to follow, and the result I got was exactly what was promised.
I've watched so many tutorials of how to make this blanket, from youtube videos to tiktoks. This has been the easiest to follow and I am so thankful for it!
i did it!!! i just finished!!! i can’t believe how easy and how beautiful it turned out. one more Christmas gift marked off! thank you so much for such clear and precise instructions! 🤗
@@313girl5 ………i haven’t measured but it will fit nicely on he back of a couch. i chained 36 stitches so it’s long! i bought my yarn at michaels and at the time on sale for $6.99. i bought 6. hope that helps. it truly was easy and fast!!
This is my go-to tutorial! I love that you go into detail about each step, and are proactive in troubleshooting via tips. I'm on to making my third blanket and it's honestly great for someone who can only do simple knits. Thanks again for this wonderful tutorial, I'm glad many other can join in and make a cozy blanket too!
Thank you so much for your lovely message! I’m so excited that everyone can make this, makes me super happy to get messages like yours, thank you ! 😀🎄🙌🏻💕😘
@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you as well, I got to finish my blanket and gift it to my brother's girlfriend for an early Christmas gift and she's absolutely in love! 🥰
I can't tell you how much this means to me!❤😊 I have made a lot of Amish rugs, braided rugs and tied blankets, crocheted baby blankets. But this is such a beautiful and easy way to make the most beautiful blankets! Thank you so much!❤🙏😊
I'm scared of watching these types of videos. It's only a matter of time before I probably get hooked and develop a passion for something totally random I never expected to even enjoy. 😁
Thanks for the video! It helped a lot. I’ve been crocheting since 8yrs old, I’m 67, so finger crochet is new to me. Your tips helped a lot, especially the one where you roll up the blanket as you go.
saw your video and immediately went to Michael’s site to get this yarn. and they had a 25% off sale so of course I got 6 skeins of the mottled taupe to make a 4x5. been wanting to hand make a blanket for YEARS and now I finally can 😊 thanks so much for this amazing and easy tutorial! so excited to have fun making something so cozy and cute
@@amandagregory3944 create a larger starting chain about 2.5-3” then try to keep your loops at 1.5 -2” high. It’s still going to try and grow on you but this will help. I talk about this in the beginning of my newer pattern with this technique : How to Finger Knit a Ribbed Blanket [Washer and Dryer Safe] ua-cam.com/video/W04XjdXjVIc/v-deo.html
I just finished my first blanket! Thank you so much for the helpful video. My youngest daughter is super excited for her new blanket. My oldest daughter saw how it turned out and requested I make her one too.
Thank you SO much for this quick, easy tutorial video. I love making things for myself vs buying them in a store but I have NEVER been coordinated enough to master traditional knitting. I am unbelievably excited to make myself some of these!
Just finished my blanket. Such an easy project to put together. Assembled it while watching tv at night. One ball/night. Just pulling yarn through loops the whole time. Who needs those funky knitting needles?!? 🧶🪢👌🏽😜 Thank you for this video!
Just made one and now I am on to my second! Buying the yarn was expensive, but in reality I always spend a little extra for my family so I think making handmade gifts will be just as good as buying them. Thank you for such an easy to follow along video! I am learning from the mistakes I made on the first one so my blankets should only get better from here! :)
I used to do a lot of finger knitting in the past, and it was a strong interest of mine for a few years, but I never knew you could take it to a whole other level! It's getting colder where I am, so this video brought me a lot of comfort and coziness :3 Keep up the amazing content!
I can’t thank you enough for going slow and patiently explaining your steps. I looked at 7 videos before I found one I understood. I’m on row 3 and yayyyy!
I wish I had of discovered you earlier. It would have really helped me with my lockdown depression, to have an activity like this to keep me going. This is the first video I've watched till the end and am interested in doing for the first time!😊
The best chunky blanket tutorial on UA-cam. I have tried others, none compares to the simplicity of this one. Thank you so much for helping me with 2 requested Christmas blankets for my grandchildren. Mary from Boston
I can't thank you enough for this tutorial! It is so easy to follow and after watching this video alone, I've made two blankets one for my mom and one for my dad for Christmas❤️❤️
I like your method of hand knitting. They are better than some other videos. I like the way you ended the blanket, it’s neater and easier than other instructors suggested. Thank you.
Out of all the videos I have watched to learn how todo these blankets, yours was the best. Easy to understand and follow, and you give great instructions!!..Thank you so much!!
This is fabulous. I have to try this. When I was a little boy I was obsessed with crocheting and knitting and this seems like such an easy way to go about it. Thanks for the instructional.
I am disabled, needing a project and really love these blankets!! Thank you so much for making an easy, understandable video!! I appreciate it so much. I just bought my yarn so I think I will be trying this soon! :)
My daughters baby is due in March. I'm not a knitting person so for me this is really special and something I know I can do. My daughter is going to be so amazed when she opens her baby shower gift and finds something her Mom actually made herself. So cool. Thank you for making this video. I've watched it several times and feel confident I can do this.
I'm so excited to make this!! I've been trying to learn to knit and crochet for years but figured something like this might be easier and I want a giant fuzzy blanket 🥰
Thank you for sharing. I saw this yarn at craft store and thought how cool it would be to knit🥰 Then I realised finger knitting is a thing and here I am! Can't wait to start my new hobby🥰
Unfortunately, I can no longer do so many crafts due to my hand arthritis and CMC arthroplasties. This was so exciting to see! You are an awesome teacher/speaker. I think this I can do. Thank you!
i am going defenetly going to try this out because i'm young and want to knit a blanket for Christmas since it gets cold! Thanks so much for making the video. :)
Hi Roz, as an avid but novice-semi advanced sewer, I'm excited to try this as Christmas project. It seems as though you've given great instructions but to lead beginners to believe they can finish, and with beautiful results, on the first try, may not be realistic.
When you try this, you’ll see how simple it is 👍🏻🙂 not sure why you feel this way. I’ve had several comment that they tried it and had successful results.
@@PlayHookywithMe Not sure why I feel this way? It is an opinion, it wasn't meant to insult, You're obviously allowed to disagree, I may have very good results on my first try. Thank you. 🙂
I can’t wait to try and make a beautiful orange blanket for my daughter!!! The part that I don’t like about you tube is that we can’t share ours final produc,it would be nice to see everybody’s work🤩 🧶
I agree ! I wish there was a way to share the work made. If you have an Instagram account , tag me when you finish it, I’d love to see it! 💕 @playhookywithme #playhookywithme the orange is going to be gorgeous! 👏🏻❤️
Do you mind if I ask a question? Roughly how much did this cost? My mom likes this type of thing and I'm interested but she doesn't always follow through on projects. Your post is only four months old, so the price is going to be more accurate than a two year old post. Thanks if you answer. 👋
Keep looking on UA-cam for easy ways to do it. I like the one that tells me to make a loop with the short end over the other, and pull it part way through. Then pull the two ends together to tighten in There's many ways so you will find something that works for you, but when you do, dont look any further as it might confuse you as it did with me Good luck
Thank you!! I’ve been having such a hard time watching tutorials on how to make these blankets but you do it nice and slow so it’s easy to follow along :) ❤
So sorry for your loss❤️ I hope you are blessed with a beautiful rainbow baby when you are ready x and that you will get to make all the lovely cosy blankets x I know this comment is a couple months old but maybe you could still make a blanket for your angel baby in memory of it❤️
I always saw these blankets at stores at a very expensive price. I am happy to say I am heading over to the store and getting this and making blankets for my Mom and brother to stay warm for this very cold winter. Thank you sooooo Much!!!!!!
Thank you for posting this! I've been on the lookout for a version of these chunky throws that I could afford. After seeing this, I think my family members may be getting chunky blankets for Christmas!
That was amazing and looks so easy to do. The blanket looks super soft. I'm going to try this one day. I was never into crocheting, but I think I could get into this.
this was the simplest, most helpful video ever. i made a 5x4 foot blanket with no experience and like 2 tiny mistakes. i'll never forget how to do it now!
Thank you so much for this video. I love the look of this blanket compared to other finger knit ones I’ve seen, and your instructions and visuals are so clear and easy to follow. Somehow I never thought about measuring the length of the loops and looking for consistency that way - I think that might actually help me with tension in regular knitting. I have a bunch of skeins of some fluffy wool yarn that I’ve been wanting to make a blanket out of for ages and now I finally feel motivated and excited to do it!
@@PlayHookywithMe Great! Thanks for the great tutorial! :D We don’t celebrate Christmas where I’m from so I’ll just be making them for winter, however, winter is probably the best season for me. It’s really hot all year round excepting winter so I can finally wear my jacket to school without being drenched in sweat by the time I get home. I can also make myself hot drinks and stuff and just chill on the bed with my blanket so that’s cool. Thanks again for the tutorial! :D))
I have made several of these blankets and it took me till my third one to sort of get it really looking more professional instead of homemade. I’ve watched several videos, and I wish I had found yours first because it is the best. My biggest problem was always finishing it off and yours is the easiest way. Thank you
Thank you dear gypsy ! 💕💕💕 I can’t wait to sit with a lovely cuppa with your video tonight. 🥰 It has been crazy busy getting ready for family to arrive but I’m grateful that they can come 🙏🏻 Happy Holidays to you too , my sweet friend ! 💕💕😘😘
Companion Pillow: ua-cam.com/video/ef1mYcF1FWY/v-deo.html Hey everyone! In this video, I share how to finger knit a chenille chunky blanket. No experience with crochet/knitting necessary! The throw featured in this video is 3' x 4' and I used 5 skeins of Bernat Blanket Yarn (32 yards in each skein) . For a 4' x 5 , I'd recommend 6 skeins.
I was just gifted a mondo llama blanket kit, and Im so happy to have found this video! They include instructions, but its so much nicer when you have a nice calm voice slowly guiding you! Thank you so much! Subscribed! ❤️
Yikes, yes, tricky . I think I would probably wrap the label through one of the loops and stitch the label together rather than trying to stitch it directly into the yarn. That’s just a thought , though, I haven’t tried this 🤔
I would recommend you make a chain and drape it across your hips to get the width you want first. That way you can buy another skein if you want it longer when you’re finished. My point is , get the width you want right first. Much easier to make it longer than wider.
@@junithebestRAH ayo ik we just met but like you wanna be friends or something 😳😳 i promise i am not weird 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 i am simply just an 18 year old desperate for friends
After so many channels I've watched, yours is the easiest. Ok now I'm on my way to buy my bulky yarn. Thank you so much for making this video so awesome.
This was one of the easiest to understand, short and yet incredibly detailed video I could find on youtube! Love the time stamps and how you showed how the blanket looked like in the end. Currently using this video to make a wool mix chunky blanket :) Beyond excited!! Do you know how big of a blanket I can make with 26 skeins of weight 6 yarn (87 yards per skein)? Thank you for making this video, Hooky ❤️
I’m so happy you found it helpful. Hm - regarding the size of a blanket for your amount of yarn ... that’s a toughie. I’m terrible with math. The Bernat yarn was a size 7 with 32 yards in each. I had to do some trial and error to figure out how much I needed. I would recommend you do the same. I would take one skein and start a chain to the width you think you want your blanket to be. I literally made the chain , and placed it across my body to make sure it was covering me well. Then , start making your blanket with the one skein and measure how far it went. 12, 36, 48 inches? Whatever that number is you can figure out how many more skeins it would need to get to the length you want. It’s a bit time consuming of course but it’s really the best way to see what you need. I was making blankets for different family members - some tall , some petite , I even made one as a couple snuggle blanket. I did this test to do my best to size it to them. Hope this helps 💕
Thank you so much! I’ll definitely try that method. In the meantime, please release more finger/hand/arm knitting content 💕 Looking forward to your videos!
@@sydneydowning4476 oh boy , I think I used 7 for that one , Sydney. But you can get away with 6 . Just won’t be as long. Focus on the width first - drape a chain across your body (across hips) to get an idea of how wide you need it to be for 2 people . It’s much easier to add to the length rather than having to start over with the width.
How did you figure out how many rows to do for the 3 x 4 size and how many do you need for the 3 x 5 or the 4 x 5? I can’t remember what you said I’m sorry? 6:23
I am a knitter since the 80s. I have made scads of dishcloths, scarves and too many afghans to count. That being said, I was looking for a blanket or afghan pattern that was easy to complete in a timely manner. This Finger Knit Blanket did the trick ! Now I can have an afghan on my needles and still complete another blanket without tools (other than the needle and thread you use for sewing in the end) ! Thank You So Much for this video ! One Suggestion: Please give # of skeins of chunky yarn needed for larger size blankets, as I usually do blankets in 6 or 8 feet sizes.
I bought yarn two years ago before my second granddaughter was born and wanted to make two of these for my then almost 2 year old granddaughter and her sister to be born in February. I never got them started. Thank you for the inspiring and helpful video.
I just stumbled on your video and wow never heard of “finger knitting”. My doctor suggest I start a hobby and this looks perfect for me. Your deliberate, detailed instructions are very reassuring for me. Thanks so much … A NY senior
im 15 and just found this video after struggling to do other types of knitting and crochet. this is the first time I've enjoyed using wool and I'm going to make a blanket for my boyfriend ♡♡♡
I've seen other tutorials, and while they're fine - yours is utterly perfect! You explain the general concept, give tips for adding skeins and maintaining the blanket, and it's concise enough for me to understand and follow. Thank you so much!
I've found a few different methods on how to finger knit but this one is the easiest and the end product looks the best (in my opinion), and this video was easy to follow. Thanks so much for this video!!!!!!
Just finished my blanket! Never knitted before and thought this would be the perfect project to try. It was so easy to make and turned out great! Thanks so much for sharing!
I really want to thank you for making this video. I j have tried for years to make blankets or afagans and I could never get the hang of it no matter how hard I tried but you made it so simple for me to understand how to do this. I’m so excited can’t wait to buy a craft store out of the big yarn. Thank you so much

I just got into my first friend group at school and every year tgey gift each ither before winter break and im goung to make them blankets with this video. You probably wont see my comment but thank you ❤
I see it and think it is a lovely idea. 👏🏻🧶💕
I have been really wanting to find a relaxing hobby for myself due to severe anxiety and I just loved your video. It made me feel comfortable enough to understand and feel confident that I could try this too! I can’t wait to do it!
Love reading this, thank you ! 💕
Annie I’ll be praying 🙏 you can do it 🌸 Iam going to get a friend to start me off 🌸
make sure to take breaks every 20 to 30 minutes especially if you're using a crochet hook to avoid any injuries!
Me too and this is it
Can any one tell me what is the finished size of this blanket please?
I went to my aunts house for the weekend and someone had made a hand-knitted blanket for my little cousin. The woman who made it had dementia and was battling cancer, but the thing that she liked to do to keep her mind going, was to crochet and knit. Her story inspired me to make a blanket, and that led me here to this amazing video. Now I’m half-way through making my blanket and it is lovely thanks to you! ☺️ 🙏
What a beautiful story, thank you for sharing 🧶❤️
Had watched this several times and had taken a break from making blankets. Since Christmas is really soon, I decided to make my younger cousins small blankets. I’m 13 and turn 14 on Christmas Eve. Thank you so much for the video!!
Awesome! Have a great birthday and Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 🧶
Merry Christmas and Happy birthday too. And you are so great to make things this wonderful for gifts. You are one good teenager
Happy birthday!
Out of all of the chunky blanket videos yours is the one I used the most and it helped me complete my very 1st blanket project! I was stumped about how to complete the final row and thankfully you explain it better than any other video I found. Thank you!
Oh wonderful! I’m so happy it helped! 😃👏🏻👏🏻💕
where can I get the yarn?
@@odreamsdreams6230 link is in the description. I got it at Michaels. They usually have a sale which helps with cost.

Hii
Hurrah! Guys I am 9 year old and I did it
I AM SO HAPPY😭
Cgg!!
I have never in my life done knitting, but after watching your video,I am trying to make my cosy blanked soon! It's the proof of how great teacher you are. Your instructions are clear and inspire the spectators!👏🧿💛
So kind of you , thank you so much 💕👏🏻😀
Yes, I’m just learn how to do this stuff and her instruction are so clear and helpful!
I like how this blanket looks like it's neater and tighter stitches than other chunky blankets I have seen.
Thank you ! I like to work quite tightly 💕
same
shut up
I like that too.
Same!
Love this!! Found your video 2 weeks ago. I've made 4!! One with 15 skeins, 1 with 7 skeins and 2 with 8 skeins!! Addictive and beautiful gifts
Awesome!! 😀🙌🏻💕 I agree , addictive!
Did you make them the same width for all of them? Yep, so addictive!🤗
@@suemiller4897 no , I varied it depending on who it was for. Most of them were 3x4 and 4x5 , though 😀
@@PlayHookywithMe so cute !!!!!!!!!!!!
Was wondering if they turned out heavy like a weighted blanket?
I just wanted to say every time I go to the craft store I see the fluffy yarn except today, I bought some! I have always wanted to make one of these blankets and this video was the only one I could truly find to help me and my blanket is sooo comfy!! Thank you!!
Oh that’s wonderful, I’m so happy you’re happy. 👏🏻💕I was at the store the other day (hobby lobby - yarn bee brand) and the new yarn colors were 😍 I think it’s time for me to make another too! 🤣
@ 😂😂
Best tutorial so far, to the point, quick, and not a lot of repetition. Excellent. Thank you.
Thank you !
I no longer have a lot of dexterity or sensation in my fingers. There is no way I could hold knitting or crochet needles correctly but this finger method is something I might master. Thank you for a great tutorial!
Thank you and I hope it works well for you 😀🧶💕
Making this for my 1st grandchild EVER 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 so glad I found this video all my blanket making grandma’s have gone to glory and didn’t get the chance to pass this down to their granddaughters 💜 I still have my baby blankets made by them almost 40 years ago and I’m so happy I can make one for my grand baby THANK YOU 🙏🏾
How lovely 😀🧶❤️❤️❤️
How big would you make a baby blanket?
Absolutely fantastic video. I'm a 66 year old man and I'm going to have a go making one for each of my daughters. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Great!! 💕
I’ve skimmed through probably 2 dozen videos, because my brain just did NOT understand what they were doing, even though they were all for “beginners.” I don’t understand the terminology, why they’re using certain tools, etc. Thankfully, I actually understand this one! 🙌🏼 I’ve never crocheted before, so for doing multiple colors, is it basically the same concept for adding another skein? Just tie on, trim & go? Thanks! This video is super helpful. 💜
I’m so happy you found the video useful! Yes , you can absolutely tie on your next color when you run out of the first but only if you want the color to start right after the previous color, no matter where on the blanket that happens.
But if you want the color change to be more solid (like a definite stripe of color all the way across, you’ll want to make sure to attach your new skein right before you start a new row of loops.
Hope that makes sense. 💕
@Jennifer Defoor well done you. I'm gonna try myself at my earliest opportunity.
Paisley Elliott I completely agree
There are other ppl making blankets with finger knitting but ur work is by far the cleanest. It's making me try one for myself. Good luck to u darling.
Thank you , much appreciated 😀💕
Hey there! This is by far the best and most efficient video on making these blankets. I am excited to try. I braided hair for over 20 years as an extra income and it was actually satisfying to do. This seems like something that will give me the same satisfaction. Thank you so much for making this video!
Thank you !
This was an excellent gift for my grandparents! Super warm, and being made of such a heavy yarn, the weight is nice and comforting.
I’d never made anything like this before, but the video was so easy to follow, and the result I got was exactly what was promised.
Thank you so much ❤️🧶
In fact it was!
I've watched so many tutorials of how to make this blanket, from youtube videos to tiktoks. This has been the easiest to follow and I am so thankful for it!
I’m so glad I could help! 🧶 ❤️
Oh...hohohoh...you're telling me I can make a chenille cocoon of warmness myself?! Winter will not be ready for me. 🥰☕
😀👏🏻😂💕
RIGHT?!
You would make a good comedian, didn't expect to laugh in the comment section of a knitting video 😃

That’s wonderful, so happy to read this! 🙌🏻💕
How big of a blanket did you make and how much did each skein of yarn cost you? Where did you get your yarn?
@@313girl5 ………i haven’t measured but it will fit nicely on he back of a couch. i chained 36 stitches so it’s long! i bought my yarn at michaels and at the time on sale for $6.99. i bought 6. hope that helps. it truly was easy and fast!!
@@orscrub3161 Thank you!! That helped a lot.
@@orscrub3161 I plan on doing about 40 chains (6' approx?) then go across about 5 feet. Want a nice big one for my spare bedroom guests.

I'm on to making my third blanket and it's honestly great for someone who can only do simple knits. Thanks again for this wonderful tutorial, I'm glad many other can join in and make a cozy blanket too!

Thank you so much! Your other projects sound amazing 💕
I'm scared of watching these types of videos. It's only a matter of time before I probably get hooked and develop a passion for something totally random I never expected to even enjoy. 😁
Ikr that's how I started wire wrapping lol
Honestly doesn’t sound like a bad thing!
Yes, lol! So fun. SOLITARY. ALONE. 🙏🏽
You can't get hooked without a hook, so maybe finger knitting is for you!!!! Hahahaha
Lol can't wait to try
Thanks for the video! It helped a lot. I’ve been crocheting since 8yrs old, I’m 67, so finger crochet is new to me. Your tips helped a lot, especially the one where you roll up the blanket as you go.
I’m so glad 😀🧶
saw your video and immediately went to Michael’s site to get this yarn. and they had a 25% off sale so of course I got 6 skeins of the mottled taupe to make a 4x5. been wanting to hand make a blanket for YEARS and now I finally can 😊 thanks so much for this amazing and easy tutorial! so excited to have fun making something so cozy and cute
Wonderful 😀💕
@rumba rumba fabulous 😀❤️
@@PlayHookywithMe how do you prevent widening? my chain is perfect, but the edge of my blanket keep getting wider! do you have any tips?
@@amandagregory3944 create a larger starting chain about 2.5-3” then try to keep your loops at 1.5 -2” high. It’s still going to try and grow on you but this will help. I talk about this in the beginning of my newer pattern with this technique :

Thank you SO much for this quick, easy tutorial video. I love making things for myself vs buying them in a store but I have NEVER been coordinated enough to master traditional knitting. I am unbelievably excited to make myself some of these!
Yay! You’ll love it! Lots of fun 👏🏻💕
Pattern was amazing and easy I downsized it and made a winter blanket for my baby due in January ☺️
how many balls of yarn did you use? i want to make this for my newborn as well i’m due in April
Yess I would love to know how many u used to I wanna make one for my baby due in December
Just finished my blanket. Such an easy project to put together. Assembled it while watching tv at night. One ball/night. Just pulling yarn through loops the whole time. Who needs those funky knitting needles?!? 🧶🪢👌🏽😜
Thank you for this video!
😂🙌🏻 awesome!!
This is a classy looking blanket, I will definitely bookmark this as a future project. Thanks
Thanks so much ! 😀💕
Hey, did you already make it and how long did it took
Just made one and now I am on to my second! Buying the yarn was expensive, but in reality I always spend a little extra for my family so I think making handmade gifts will be just as good as buying them. Thank you for such an easy to follow along video! I am learning from the mistakes I made on the first one so my blankets should only get better from here! :)
Wonderful! 😀💕
I have tried an online class, and watched several videos. Your video is the best one by far for beginners. Thanks!
Thank you !
I used to do a lot of finger knitting in the past, and it was a strong interest of mine for a few years, but I never knew you could take it to a whole other level! It's getting colder where I am, so this video brought me a lot of comfort and coziness :3 Keep up the amazing content!
Wonderful 😀💕
I can’t thank you enough for going slow and patiently explaining your steps. I looked at 7 videos before I found one I understood. I’m on row 3 and yayyyy!
So glad 😀💕👏🏻🧶
This was surprisingly relaxing to watch, and I now have the desire to make one of these for my daughter. Thank you for the video and inspiration :) x
Great, thank you ! 💕
I wish I had of discovered you earlier. It would have really helped me with my lockdown depression, to have an activity like this to keep me going. This is the first video I've watched till the end and am interested in doing for the first time!😊
The best chunky blanket tutorial on UA-cam. I have tried others, none compares to the simplicity of this one. Thank you so much for helping me with 2 requested Christmas blankets for my grandchildren. Mary from Boston

I can't thank you enough for this tutorial! It is so easy to follow and after watching this video alone, I've made two blankets one for my mom and one for my dad for Christmas❤️❤️
Oh how wonderful!! They are going to love them! 😀🧶💕
Crochet once you learn it is very calming tbh
I like your method of hand knitting. They are better than some other videos. I like the way you ended the blanket, it’s neater and easier than other instructors suggested. Thank you.
I really appreciate your feedback, thank you ! 💕
Out of all the videos I have watched to learn how todo these blankets, yours was the best. Easy to understand and follow, and you give great instructions!!..Thank you so much!!
So glad it helped 😀🧶
This is fabulous. I have to try this. When I was a little boy I was obsessed with crocheting and knitting and this seems like such an easy way to go about it. Thanks for the instructional.

Hi Roz, as an avid but novice-semi advanced sewer, I'm excited to try this as Christmas project. It seems as though you've given great instructions but to lead beginners to believe they can finish, and with beautiful results, on the first try, may not be realistic.
When you try this, you’ll see how simple it is 👍🏻🙂 not sure why you feel this way. I’ve had several comment that they tried it and had successful results.
@@PlayHookywithMe Not sure why I feel this way? It is an opinion, it wasn't meant to insult, You're obviously allowed to disagree, I may have very good results on my first try. Thank you. 🙂

How kind , thank you 💕 this week I’m posting a companion pillow for this blanket , hope you’ll enjoy that too 👏🏻
I can’t wait to try and make a beautiful orange blanket for my daughter!!! The part that I don’t like about you tube is that we can’t share ours final produc,it would be nice to see everybody’s work🤩 🧶
I agree ! I wish there was a way to share the work made.
If you have an Instagram account , tag me when you finish it, I’d love to see it! 💕 @playhookywithme #playhookywithme the orange is going to be gorgeous! 👏🏻❤️
But yt doesn't complain about going back and repeating steps no matter how many times you need to.
Love that. 😃
I do appreciate your slow and patient tutorial! I've watched many times and hope to make an afghan that doesn't look like it has curves on both sides.
I’m already 70% of the way there!!! Thank you so much it looks so beautiful! My blanket is for my parents :)
Do you mind if I ask a question?
Roughly how much did this cost? My mom likes this type of thing and I'm interested but she doesn't always follow through on projects. Your post is only four months old, so the price is going to be more accurate than a two year old post. Thanks if you answer. 👋
0:47 and i’m lost already.. what’s a slipknot?! my tiny brain can’t do this but i’m going to try!!i’ll update later
Where my update
Keep looking on UA-cam for easy ways to do it. I like the one that tells me to make a loop with the short end over the other, and pull it part way through. Then pull the two ends together to tighten in
There's many ways so you will find something that works for you, but when you do, dont look any further as it might confuse you as it did with me
Good luck
Thank you!! I’ve been having such a hard time watching tutorials on how to make these blankets but you do it nice and slow so it’s easy to follow along :) ❤
So glad it helped 😀🧶💕
I made a little blanket for my little brother or sister that not born yet. ❤️Very helpful video

Thank you for posting this! I've been on the lookout for a version of these chunky throws that I could afford. After seeing this, I think my family members may be getting chunky blankets for Christmas!
Wonderful! I made these for Christmas last year and they were a huge hit 👏🏻💕
You aren't kidding! I bought 5 skeins for a project from a big box retailer and even with a discount, the total was $56!
That was amazing and looks so easy to do. The blanket looks super soft. I'm going to try this one day. I was never into crocheting, but I think I could get into this.
this was the simplest, most helpful video ever. i made a 5x4 foot blanket with no experience and like 2 tiny mistakes. i'll never forget how to do it now!
That is wonderful, thank you for sharing 😀💕💕
Thank you so much for this video. I love the look of this blanket compared to other finger knit ones I’ve seen, and your instructions and visuals are so clear and easy to follow. Somehow I never thought about measuring the length of the loops and looking for consistency that way - I think that might actually help me with tension in regular knitting. I have a bunch of skeins of some fluffy wool yarn that I’ve been wanting to make a blanket out of for ages and now I finally feel motivated and excited to do it!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your feedback! 😀💕
This is an actually very great tutorial, thank you very much. I’ll be making at least 3 blankets for winter!
Wonderful! I made them for Christmas presents last year and they were well loved 🙌🏻💕
@@PlayHookywithMe Great! Thanks for the great tutorial! :D We don’t celebrate Christmas where I’m from so I’ll just be making them for winter, however, winter is probably the best season for me. It’s really hot all year round excepting winter so I can finally wear my jacket to school without being drenched in sweat by the time I get home. I can also make myself hot drinks and stuff and just chill on the bed with my blanket so that’s cool. Thanks again for the tutorial! :D))

Companion Pillow: ua-cam.com/video/ef1mYcF1FWY/v-deo.html
Hey everyone! In this video, I share how to finger knit a chenille chunky blanket. No experience with crochet/knitting necessary! The throw featured in this video is 3' x 4' and I used 5 skeins of Bernat Blanket Yarn (32 yards in each skein) . For a 4' x 5 , I'd recommend 6 skeins.

Do you have any recommendation on how to add a label on this type of fabric/style? :) must be a bit more tricky
Yikes, yes, tricky . I think I would probably wrap the label through one of the loops and stitch the label together rather than trying to stitch it directly into the yarn. That’s just a thought , though, I haven’t tried this 🤔
i just bought 4 skeins each 120 yards and now im trying to figure out how big of a blanket i can make before i even start …
I would recommend you make a chain and drape it across your hips to get the width you want first. That way you can buy another skein if you want it longer when you’re finished. My point is , get the width you want right first. Much easier to make it longer than wider.

This was one of the easiest to understand, short and yet incredibly detailed video I could find on youtube! Love the time stamps and how you showed how the blanket looked like in the end. Currently using this video to make a wool mix chunky blanket :) Beyond excited!! Do you know how big of a blanket I can make with 26 skeins of weight 6 yarn (87 yards per skein)? Thank you for making this video, Hooky ❤️
I’m so happy you found it helpful. Hm - regarding the size of a blanket for your amount of yarn ... that’s a toughie. I’m terrible with math.
The Bernat yarn was a size 7 with 32 yards in each.
I had to do some trial and error to figure out how much I needed.
I would recommend you do the same. I would take one skein and start a chain to the width you think you want your blanket to be. I literally made the chain , and placed it across my body to make sure it was covering me well.
Then , start making your blanket with the one skein and measure how far it went.
12, 36, 48 inches?
Whatever that number is you can figure out how many more skeins it would need to get to the length you want.
It’s a bit time consuming of course but it’s really the best way to see what you need.
I was making blankets for different family members - some tall , some petite , I even made one as a couple snuggle blanket.
I did this test to do my best to size it to them.
Hope this helps 💕
Thank you so much! I’ll definitely try that method. In the meantime, please release more finger/hand/arm knitting content 💕 Looking forward to your videos!
Thank you and will do! 👋🏻💕💕
@@PlayHookywithMe how big was your couple snuggle blanket? Do you remember how many skeins it took? Thank you
@@sydneydowning4476 oh boy , I think I used 7 for that one , Sydney. But you can get away with 6 . Just won’t be as long. Focus on the width first - drape a chain across your body (across hips) to get an idea of how wide you need it to be for 2 people . It’s much easier to add to the length rather than having to start over with the width.
How did you figure out how many rows to do for the 3 x 4 size and how many do you need for the 3 x 5 or the 4 x 5? I can’t remember what you said I’m sorry? 6:23
I just grab a tape measure and chain to my desired width 👍🏻
I am a knitter since the 80s. I have made scads of dishcloths, scarves and too many afghans to count. That being said, I was looking for a blanket or afghan pattern that was easy to complete in a timely manner. This Finger Knit Blanket did the trick ! Now I can have an afghan on my needles and still complete another blanket without tools (other than the needle and thread you use for sewing in the end) ! Thank You So Much for this video !
One Suggestion: Please give # of skeins of chunky yarn needed for larger size blankets, as I usually do blankets in 6 or 8 feet sizes.
Thank you and I’ll keep that in mind on the skein count thanks !
Very clear instructions. Thank you for this tutorial!
Appreciate it, thank you 💕
Thank you for this great video. I can’t wait to try my first blanket.

Thanks so much

Wonderful! 😀👏🏻💕
im 15 and just found this video after struggling to do other types of knitting and crochet. this is the first time I've enjoyed using wool and I'm going to make a blanket for my boyfriend ♡♡♡
I really like that your loops are closer and will keep the warmth in.
I've seen other tutorials, and while they're fine - yours is utterly perfect! You explain the general concept, give tips for adding skeins and maintaining the blanket, and it's concise enough for me to understand and follow. Thank you so much!
I’m so glad , thank you so much 😀❤️❤️
After 3 failed attempts to get the correct yarn, I have made 2 blankets in 3 hours! Thank you for the easy-to-follow tutorial!
Oh that’s awesome 👏🏻 😀😀💕💕
I've found a few different methods on how to finger knit but this one is the easiest and the end product looks the best (in my opinion), and this video was easy to follow. Thanks so much for this video!!!!!!
