EASY Weekend Chunky Blanket 🧶 With Beginner Friendly Option 🤩
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- In this video I share how to make this easy knit style crochet chunky blanket that takes about 10 hours to make.
The technique used is very easy but if you find it tricky , there is an alternative version at the end of the video that is more beginner friendly.
The blanket in the video measures approx. 4' x 5' ft ( 50" x 60" in) using a 12 mm hook.
If you want to resize your blanket, here is an easy formula to help you figure out how much yarn you need. Please note that these numbers are based on the yarn I used. If you use a different weight or brand, results will vary. If you have any questions, leave it in the comments and I'll help the best I can.

I had a lot of fun working on this chunky blanket over the weekend. 😍 Technically, you could make this in a day but it will be a long day. This one took me 10 hours so I would say it's more of a weekend project to make it more relaxing. I am so in love with this stitch and didn't want to stop! Getting to sit and watch netflix all day helped that feeling.😆 Hope you enjoy the video and give this one a try. xx
Great! Now, what are your Netflix recommendations?! 😅
@@fionastube2011 😂😂😂💕
Beautiful! Thanks for the instruction ❤

This is only the 3rd thing I've ever crocheted but you walked through it and showed us how to do it so well that I'm 1/4 way done and you would never guess I was a beginner!!! Thank you SOOOO much for being so beginner friendly! I was so intimidated at first but you really helped make it such a fun, relaxing process and its really helped my confidence in this art. Thank you so much for this awesome and helpful video!! 🩷
Hello. I've been crocheting 40+ years but never tried blanket yarn. Well, when I ordered variegated worsted in denim blues, the vendor sent me an extra box full of variegated blues Bernat Blanket. When I called the store and told them about it I was invited to keep it. So I'll be making this as a birthday present for my daughter before January 8th. Love your calming, very complete tutorial. You're a great teacher. (I'm a school teacher😊).
Oh wow, what a wonderful happy accident!
Love that! I really appreciate your kind words, thank you 🧶💕
❤❤❤❤❤
I get off work in 15 min and I'm about to go to the store for yarn so I can start this blanket this evening. It's so cute!!
Oh, exciting!! 👏🏻👏🏻🧶💕
there really is always something more to learn, wow. consider myself an 'intermediate beginner' and thought there was nothing else to learn about the humble single crochet. thank you for relieving me of that notion! 😆💐
So glad you enjoyed it 😀👏🏻👏🏻🧶❤️
Love the look of this stitch, can't wait to make a baby blanket using this stitch xx
Perfect for a baby blanket 😍😍😍
I just wanted to say thank you for showing this technique!! I have seen plenty of chunky blanket tutorials, and this is leaps and bounds better than the BLO option. It works up quick and is so easy to do. I just finished my first full blanket using this, for my daughter and everyone has loved how it turned out.
To boot, your tutorials are so incredibly easy to follow. Thank you! :)
Your message has made my day, I’m so glad the pattern worked so well for you! 😀👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕
Love this blanket. Thank you for the very clear instructions and tips if one gets confused. 😊
I’m going to be making a few this Christmas. This one is really relaxing to do . Glad you enjoyed it! 💕🧶
I am so happy I found you! I always come away with at least one new "Ah-Ha" so very appreciative that you share your knowledge with us! Thank you, thank you!
Awe, that makes me really happy, thank you ! 😀👏🏻🧶💕
You made this look so easy I love the term “intermediate beginner “. Your video is nice and slow with some great tips. Mostly I like to make blankets to give to family and friends and I’ve got loads of the Bernat blanket yarn. Thank you again ❤❤
Thank you so much! This has definitely become one of my favorite stitches for this yarn type ! 💕🧶
I love this! I can't wait to make it! Thank you! I love your tutorials!
Thank you so much 😀🧶💕
Love this stitch! Will make one for sure! Im an intermediate beginner as well. Thanks for showing us both ways!! 💕💕
I think you’re really going to enjoy it. 😀👏🏻💕
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern. I needed something easy but pretty. This is it. Awesome!!
👏🏻👏🏻❤️
I love your tutorials and I just love the blanket pattern. You are the best thank you so much ❤🙏😘🥰
So glad , thank you 😀😘❤️🧶🧶
Very nice! I like the technique used to straighten the edges. TFS! ❤
Thank you! 😊💕
So happy I found your channel! I am a complete beginner and have already made two of these blankets which are beautiful. I’ve saved many of your videos for future projects. Your instructions and pace are THE best. Thank you!
Oh good, I’m so happy to read this 😀👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕💕💕 thank you for telling me !
Not normally a blanket yarn gal, but there is something about playing with big hooks! Plus, this color is gorgeous, and a blanket in a weekend is definitely enticing. 😊 Thanks for a speedy, easy, and beautiful blanket.
It was definitely a fun one. I found it really relaxing to work on! 🧶💕
The colors is beautiful 😍 also the stitches are pretty amazing to❤🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶
Thank you , I was excited when I came across it. It’s new and called Terracotta Rose. Loved looking at it all weekend 😂🥰
Beautiful ❤️ pattern thank you
Thank you 😀💕🧶
That is beautiful ❤
Thank you for sharing 🙏🥰
Thank you! 💕
thank you for this!!!
When I first got back into crochet during COVID I bought skeins of Barney yarn to make a finger crotchet blanket. Had tons left over and Almost gave it away as I didn’t know what to do with it. Glad I didn’t now I can make this blanket to give to my niece. Thanks.
Wonderful! I think you’re really going to like this blanket 😀👏🏻🧶💕
I love this. My daughter asked for a blanket in this yarn, so I start it tomorrow. 😊
It’s my favorite stitch so far that I’ve tried with this style yarn , hope you enjoy it 💕
Beautiful yarn. This stich is so nice n ideal with a larger hook
Thank you ! 😀🧶💕
Love this blanket, yarn, and color! Looks like the pattern (1st shown) would take a little bit to get use to, but in the end really not that that hard. I’m sure it’s in my future. Thanks for posting. 🩵
This stitched slowed me down because I never trusted my count 😅 I felt like I had to count each row just to be sure but it was always on target . So yes … a little slower. Took about 10 hours to make this one . But enjoyable enough where I really enjoyed the process and would definitely make another 🧶❤️
Thank you... Love your tutorial
Thank you ! 😀❤️
It’s beautiful
Thank you 💕🧶
Thanks for sharing
Very nice! Really great explanation. I enjoyed the video😊
Thank you , Marcy 🧶💕🤗
Simply beautiful. You are a great teacher, I love how you took your time and went slowly. Like both ways to make almost the same design. Thank you.
Appreciate it, thank you so much 😀💕🧶
I don't usually buy that yarn because I don't know what to make out of it. But that is pretty. Thank you so much for sharing.❤
Thanks for watching! 😀🧶💕
I think this is going to be my christmas gift to myself🤞🏿🤞🏿
Yes! Treat yourself! 🧶❤️
I was thinking the same thing, I am always making things for friends and family.
@@margycreamer6372 same - this one was for ME 💕
I believe the first blanket would be worth the extra effort. Looks really nice. Tyfs God bless you
It was for me, I’m really tickled with how it came out 🧶😀Thanks for watching 💕
@@PlayHookywithMe absolutely..np
Very nice.
Thank you 💕
I just ordered the materials for a variegated patterned yarn. Planning to work on this next month traveling from PA to Florida for vacation. 4 days total on the road as passenger/navigator will provide me with a wonderful project to fill in the time.
Wonderful!! 👏🏻🧶💕
BEAUTIFUL BLANKET!!! now can you be a sweetheart and show us how to 'weave in' those pesky ends?? I have no idea when it comes to this blanket yarn! They seem to want to pop out no matter where you place them!! THANK YOU! :)
Yessss, such a pain in the arse. I tack them down with a needle and thread 😅 I show how I do it in this video around the 2:39 mark 👍🏻🧶

Great idea 👏🏻👏🏻💕
Beautiful. Good tips. 🌍☮️🌲
Thank you , Jennie! 🧶💕💕
You are very welcome.🎄
Made this with the Bernet Chenille and it was wonderful!!
I’m so happy 😀💕👏🏻
Gotta love a tutorial that has a furperson as an assistant!
I'm going to try this pattern...not using this yarn however...I stand stand to touch this stuff! It feels so creepy to me! I know, weird.
The dreaded 3rd loop! Lol! Nice effect though.
Hahaha he is a yarn magnet!
It’s a fun stitch … I was thinking it would make a great scrap blanket 🧶🧶🧶Have a great week.
Beautiful blanket. Love the color. You worked well with this yarn. When I have tried working with this yarn it wants to twist on me. Maybe I am crocheting too tightly? I love both of the stitches. Stitch markers are a necessity here. I love how you experiment with everything. It also appears you will be sharing your blanket with friends. 🌍☮️🌲🍁
Yes , did you see Biscuit trying to sneak in? I told him , “forget it Buster, this one’s mine!” Not that he’ll listen 😆
I found the twisting stopped when I started tensioning the yarn between my forefinger and middle finger instead of threading through my hand like I normally do. Don’t know if that is for sure what made the different but it was a game changer for me with this yarn.
Have a great week, Jennie, and thanks for watching ! 💕
Yes, I did see Biscuit. I think we know who is in charge. I did notice the yarn was not twisting for you. My tension was probably too tight. I will have to give the yarn another chance. I wouldn't miss your videos. I enjoy them so much. You are a good teacher! 🌍☮️🌲🍁
Well, I finished this blanket (4 skeins) and had to buy a size 12 Prym hook to get into the stitches. My beloved Clover was too thick at the point. I love the result but probably won't make another as almost every stitch had to be "helped" thru the hook, and it was multiple days of work. 😛Interesting crochet method! It is for my use so I guess it was worth it. Didn't need a border. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for sharing! 🧶💕
Thanks for this tutorial!! I've been looking for the right stitch for the blanket I'm making for my husband's Christmas gift and this is the one!
I wasn't digging the way 3rd loop hdc was working out-- too tight and a yarn eater... and linen stitch was too holey when stretched... c2c back loop hdc looked misshapen... I was about to give up when I found this 😊
Oh good ! well not good that the others didn’t work out for you but you know what I mean ! 👏🏻❤️
Love this pattern! Would it be possible to turn into a pillow cover? I'd love to make one for a family member who already has a blanket similar to this. Love your videos ❤
Absolutely! 💕
HI there and thank you for your great explantation, easy to follow video.
I have a Bernat Blanket yarn, doesn't say ombre on package- but looks it.
Would this work with your pattern? sorry for silly question-
I'm a very much a beginner, but can't wait to start
I have 9 mm hook, but go out and let 12mm for this.
Yes, it will work well with this stitch. If you don’t like how the yarn works up with this stitch you might prefer a v stitch. You can see that here :
ua-cam.com/video/W7-6jAqXfD0/v-deo.htmlsi=dyUBYplkLT2jADmP
Thank you so much! i may try this one for my first- it does look easier. another silly question. Does this start on the width? i think the first video was length. Your tips at the end are great too💜🦋💜 @@PlayHookywithMe
@@k-pop-korn6825 the one on the video here starts with length (if you want the stitches to run vertically) and the v stitch one in the other video starts with the width 👍🏻🧶❤️
Let me know how it goes. I’m sure the ombré yarn will work well with this.
Let me know how it goes !
Can this possibly be done using Lion Brand medium #4 that's the yarn I have and it's super soft and the best color. So I'd love to use it but I'm not sure if it would work for this as this is a chunky yarn blanket.
Sure! It would look beautiful - it will just take more yarn to reach these dimensions 👍🏻💕 you can also consider using 2 strands at a time to achieve a chunkier look .
Beautiful 10:40
Thank you 💕
Does using the BLO method create a larger blanket then for the same amount of yarn? Your sample looked much wider than the one going through the 3rd loop, but it looked like you worked up the same number of rows (but less chains).
It didn’t make as much of a difference as it looks but imo , yes , just doing the blo only probably works up slightly larger and has more stretch .
Hi, its me Debbie the one that has alk the questions😂 Ok I talked to you about doing the tutorial with no more turning chain. Can we use that on everything we make or just on Granny Squares? Im doing the Chunky Knitted Blanket now. It was so beautiful and looked so comfy I put my Granny Square aside for now❤ Thank you😊
Hi Debbie ! 👋🏻 Yes, you can use it on anything you like. It will work on this type of project too.
I switch from project to project too 😅😅💕
Is it possible to do this stitch with jumbo yard & done with your hands instead of a crochet hook?
You bet ! 💕🧶
New here. I’m trying the easier one because well, I’m new and the first one was beautiful when you did it but mine? Hard no! Lol! So my question is, if my swatch/sample chunk curves, am I doing the rows too tight? It twists. It turns. It curves. It has a mind of its own!
Did you try making the initial chain looser? That will be a good place to start. If you have a hook that is one size larger than what you’re using for the blanket , that would be best to start the chain (then go back to your regular hook for the rest) . If not , just do your best.
Otherwise, yes, it sounds like you have a tight tension .
Your yarn might be twisting on you a little but I’m sorry I don’t know how to correct that. I haven’t had that issue but others have mentioned it happens to them. 💕
@@PlayHookywithMe I kept at it and I think I’m actually getting it! I am about the furthest thing from crafty but I’m always trying to learn something new and learning something that is actually a tangible thing feels prrrretty darn good so thank you!
@@shannonhering1567 awesome sauce! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕
Can you do color change with this type of stitch?
Absolutely! Just join from the side with your favorite joining technique and carry on with your next color 👍🏻💕
Sorry I’m very new to crocheting - so we’ll just repeat the same pattern until we finish all of the yarn?
Yes, exactly , and then you can just tie a new ball of yarn to it to continue on . I’d recommend a “magic knot” or a “square knot” knot. You can find tutorials for both on my channel 💕
Hi! I am new to crochet, and I decided to make this blanket. I love it so much. But I didn't start it long enough, 😢 and now I'm too far into it to start again. Is there any way to increase the width of it?
Unfortunately not. if you really want it longer , you’ll have to start over.
Or just continue adding more rows to make the other side longer . That will just mean the direction of the stitch design is longer in that other direction.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am very new but I think I can do this blanket easily. My son wants this one and he is 6’2” so he wants it long enough to hang over his feet when he’s relaxing. So my yarn is a 6 but the biggest hook I have is an 11. And obviously 70 chains is only gives me about a third of the length I need for him. I understand from your video that I don’t have to keep track of stitches thankfully but with using my size 11 hook, my chains are smaller than yours. Will that be a problem further into the project? Will it give the blanket a little more weight/bulk?
It will make it only slightly tighter but yes you’ll have to go more than 70 to get the length you want. I measured mine and I even should have gone more like 75 to 80 chains to reach the 5 foot mark (it didn’t expand like it normally does for me when I’m starting with the width measurement )
My point is … yes , definitely make your chain longer to start … based on the height you want and the blanket will still be beautiful and have similar tension as the one you see with an 11mm hook 👍🏻💕
Sorry for the multiple comments. I am deleting those. And thank you for the quick reply. I made one for my husband that took about 9.5 skeins and very heavy. I used a hdc in the back loop and Al thought it’s beautiful and heavy, it also took me quite a while working one that big. I’m going to trying yours today and see if I can make it quicker (and less expensive) LOL
@@user-hq9oh3yi1s oh boy ! Yes that’s a lot of work , I hope this works up more quickly for you 👏🏻👏🏻💕
@@user-hq9oh3yi1s Oooo okay I actually frogged the blanket I was making for my husband using hdc because it was eating too much yarn and it was too thick and not stretchy enough.... this stitch is working so much better for me!
Thank you for the info! I got sidetracked this past weekend and didn’t get to work on this new project. I am glad to know this one will be quicker and less expensive. The one I made for my husband with the hdc is close to a twin size because he is so tall and it is so heavy that it feels like a weighted blanket. Thanks again ladies for the helpful info.
I have bulky luxe velvet yarn that I accidentally bought. Can I finger knit with luxe yarn? It’s fluffier than regular velvet. @playhookywithme
You can , but it’s more difficult. The video that you’ve left a comment on is a great option if you know how to crochet.
If not , I’ll be teaching how to finger crochet an easy blanket soon which will work well with your yarn.
But In the mean time here is a video on how to finger knit with the yarn you have:

How would you add a shell stitch border to this blanket? Thanks
It’s actually really easy because you’re just essentially going to MAKE it work by fudging things around a bit.
I recommend you watch this video and then just apply the tips to your favorite shell pattern 💕
ua-cam.com/video/0bTphnelqKE/v-deo.htmlsi=S4Q2X-XIjBO7TyvB
Thanks so much!
Will this work with a weight 4 yarn?
Yes! Great for any weight yarn. If you want it to be thicker, use two strands of yarn at the same time with a larger hook 👍🏻 I’ll be doing a video on other types of crochet stitches that look like knit and I’ll be using weight 4 yarn to demonstrate them 🧶
Thank you I'm going to try this on my upcoming trip!!
hi, so i am new to crocheting, but i did mine too tight. is there anyway i can fix it?
i forgot to do it loosley
I’d recommend you redo it with a larger hook and try to relax your tension. I know that’s hard as a beginner, it takes time . So, a larger hook is your best bet. ❤️ if it’s completely finished , then the only thing I can think of is to “block” it.
We start with 71 chains can you please let me know how many rows I have do to get blanket size
I don’t count by rows - I just continue on until I reach the size I want or I run out of yarn
@@PlayHookywithMe thank you for response I wanted to take reference as if I start with 71 chain how many rows I have to repeat
@@saumyashippy2042 until
You reach your desired length 👍🏻
Is this easy? Iammoving so iwanttodo something comfy and warm what is the hook size?
Yes it’s easy , especially the second option at the end of video . 12mm . All the details are in the video 🧶💕
Good afternoon Roz . I love both methods of making this blanket and because I'm a knitter as well , I know I can ace this project which I would make as a throw just for when I'm watching TV . As always have a great week cheers to blanket who is having a ball .
Oh wow that ribbing is stunning! I will take your advice and try this stitch with my infinity scarf! But of course I want this Colour now! 😂

How big are you wanting to make yours.
Do you have any of this yarn?
If so, I’d recommend making a swatch
And using this formula to figure out how much you need.
If you don’t have the yarn , I can make one for you to help you use the formula. Just let me know :
ua-cam.com/video/Bsg85P-2PEk/v-deo.htmlsi=i1PxJTKoBXxtjvl5
@PlayHookywithMe haha good point I just know in the video you said you could have made it bigger with 4 skeins and I was curious how much..I am an extreme beginner
@@PlayHookywithMe I bought 4 skeins of the same yarn, different color.
Sorry for the vague example. I'm not sure how to explain. I think in the video you said it only took 3 1/2 skeins and you went 70 on the length chain so I was curious if I would have enough yarn to go longer and wider I would love to make it like 50×60
@@debd5759 thanks for the clarification- you’ll get very close to the 50x60 with the 4 skeins. I’d recommend that you start your chain with the 50inches like you want and then if it doesn’t quite reach your 60 inches then you can always get another skein later.
You’ll probably need to start with about 75 or 80 to get the 5ft mark.
Hope that helps .
Where can I download the pattern?
I’m sorry , Sue, I haven’t written a pattern for this.
I haven’t gotten to the end but isn’t this this just like going into the back loop only?
It’s the same kind of concept but that is not the back loop that you’re going into. The back loop is right above it 👍🏻
You’re going into the “3rd loop”
(Front loop, back loop, 3rd loop)
@@PlayHookywithMe I don’t think so, I’m going into the back loop f the v on top, not the third loop. It was the first stitch I learned (fastest and easiest way to make beanies and twisted headbands) but a darn yarn eater! Now I learned to make the last 4-5 stitches of one end (front and back) a slip stitch to make that top end of a beanie smaller, so when you sew up the top end it’s not so bulky and it looks nice and rounded.
@@asaldanapr for this particular blanket , you’ll see if you work into the back loop, you’re going to lose the v stitch that appears . For this pattern , you’re working into the loop that is behind the back loop . Just try it both ways and you’ll see the difference.
The back loop will give you a ribbing effect like I show you later in the video.
@@PlayHookywithMe you are so right. I just looked at a beanie I’m making and all I see are ridges and valleys not the knit stitch… duh! Well, all of what I’ve made so far were gifts and the recipients don’t know the difference. I’ve only been crocheting for not even a year yet and am doing much better than when I started Thank Dog!!! 😉😂
@@asaldanapr what you’re doing is PERFECT! You’re doing it the “right”way - that’s how I’ve learned to do beanies as well. This technique in the video is just a variation , that’s it. 👍🏻💕
What is this stitch called?
It’s a variation of the Camel
Stitch
Iam. Going to make this chunky blanket got to challenge myself.
It’s a fun one , do it ! 🧶💕
@@PlayHookywithMe iwant to do a blanket for my bed. The cats love my crochet projects. Lol
@@debrawolleycrochet hahaha I can relate. The irony is, I tried to make a cat bed for them with this yarn and it was a fail. They just want to lay on the blankets 😆🧶
@@PlayHookywithMe i made a dig but with 4 weight yarn dig ignored but the cats took it over. I have to watch them one day I came to my project to find the ball of yarn all thru my living room. The cats like to lay on my projects
Ok i did 70 and it's definitely NOT 5' and yes I DID do a loose chain!! Why is it not 5'??
I don’t know … but it’s an easy fix … add more chains 👍🏻💕
@@PlayHookywithMeI added 10 more😊. Do you think this pattern would work with super bulky (7) yarn? I have some I need to use and thought a blanket would be good.
@@Femalefirefighter1 what size hook does it require? If it’s 25mm , it’s going to be awfully dense with this yarn but it is doable. A finger knit blanket or even finger crochet (using slip stitches ) would be a good option.
@@PlayHookywithMe thank you SO much!!
