    Small Knitted Blanket | Great for Beginners
    I made this purple knitted blanket for my daughter, Mindy. Here is a video of us at the beach if you would like to meet her. She is such a joy and a huge blessing to me!

    This is only my 2nd knitted blanket that I've ever made! I've only been knitting for a few months, but I'm loving every minute of it. I am a crocheter and have been crocheting since for over 55 yrs! Haha! I learned to crochet when I was 5.
    I tried to knit throughout the years, but never got the hang of it and I felt like it took too long. But, thanks to UA-cam, which sparked a whole new fire in my creativeness, I am inspired and ready to make many knitting videos in my future!
    This is perfect for a beginner and even for children to learn how to knit!

    Hi love this video your blanket turned out great 😄.. unfortunately I didn’t watch it until after I bought supplies nd started knitting. My yarn is the exact same size but I bought the recommended size 11 needles .. until I got to about the forth row I notice It wasn’t expanding much and it was very tight .. what do you recommend i should do to make it looser and the holes bigger... also i saw u did 52 loops to make your blanket. let’s say I want to make a standard throw (50″ X 60″) how many loops would u say would be good ?? Sorry for so many questions I’m also new at this nd I thought I did enough research but I guess not .. thank you ahead of time for your help ♥️

    • @SparklyOne
      @SparklyOne  3 роки тому +3

      Hi Lesley, thank you so much for watching and commenting. I would probably double the cast on stitches to 104 and knit until you have your desired length. Mine measures 36” wide, so doubled would be 72” and of course you can make it as long as you want. If you're using size 11 needles, yours will be much smaller than mine, so doubling the cast on stitches will make it bigger, but I'm not sure how much because of your smaller needles. You'll also need to buy 2 skeins instead of one, just in case you can't make it with one skein. Hope that helps 😘🥰 It's great practice either way. Happy crocheting! Let me know how it turns out!

    • @SparklyOne
      @SparklyOne  3 роки тому +2

      No worries at all! That's what I'm here for! Haha! If you want your blanket bigger than mine and you use the Size 17 needles, you can cast on in multiples of 4. So maybe somewhere in between 52 and 104 would be a good comprise, just make sure to have 2 skiens so you don't run out. Maybe try 88 stitches? I think that would be a good size. I'm not sure in inches what it would be though. Hope that's not confusing...keep me posted! 😍

    Do u have to use chuncky yarn and size 17 needles is can u use lighter weight yarn and smaller needles? If u use a different weight yarn and smaller needles would u cast on more stitches and if so how many would u cast on for a baby blanket?

    • @SparklyOne
      @SparklyOne  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Wanda! That was my grandma's name! 😍 You will need to use larger size needles for a chunky yarn, but you can look on the package of yarn to see what the suggested needle size is. That is super helpful when wanting to use a different size yarn. The pattern I show you here is done with a multiple of 4 so you can make it any size you want. You'll need a circular needle if you can't find a straight needle that's long enough. Baby blankets can range in sizes, but one that is about 36 in x 36 or 48 in x 48 in is a great size. Let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks for commenting! 😀🙌

      Hi Beverly. It depends on the size of the yarn. Is it a bulky weight yarn or worsted weight? The yarn I used was a size 6 bulky weight & had 220 yards in it and I used the entire skein. Hope that helps. Happy knitting 🧶🥰

    • @SparklyOne
      @SparklyOne  3 роки тому +1

      Yes, you can, but you’ll need long needles and it won’t be as loose and flowing. You can also use a smaller yarn if you are using smaller needles. The pattern is totally adjustable depending on the size you want and the look you want. Make sure if you are using smaller needles and smaller yarn you will be using more stitches to fill up your needles and don’t forget when you cast on it’s in multiples of 4. Hope that helps.

    What if I want to make a blanket for a full size bed?

    • @SparklyOne
      @SparklyOne  3 роки тому

      Well...that's a great question! My blanket is 36 inches wide with the cast on stitches in multiples of 4. You can make it as long as you want. Of course you'll need lots of skeins of yarn, so I would measure the size of the blanket you want to make with a current blanket on the bed. I recommend making a sample swatch and measure how many inches it is and multiply that to figure out how many multiples of 4 you'll need. You can also make it in multiples of 6 (6 knit, 6 purls), 8 (8 knit, 8 purls) or 10 (10 knit, 10 purls) to give it a different look. The pattern is super easy! I hope that helps. I'm new at knitting, but I think this is a pretty simple pattern and just have fun! I'm sure it will be beautiful! I'd love to see a photo when you finish it...you can send it to sparklyone60@gmail.com Happy crocheting! Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm always happy to help! 💖😊

      I think that should be ok??? I'm thinking the stitches will be a little snug, but you could also reduce the stitches by 8 if they don't fit...although your blanket wouldn't be as wide. Sometime you just have to experiment and see how it's going. I can't tell you how many times I've started projects over. It's just part of the game. Haha! Happy knitting!

      You will need to use the longest straight needles you can find, like the ones I used in the video or you can use a circular needle, which you can buy in longer lengths or use interchangeable needles which can be made even longer. Just remember, the longer the needles the heavier the blanket. Hope that answers your question?
