Loom Knitting Notes:
Item is worked in flat panel to the left and right, not in the round. Use your basic or a favorite cast on, wrap or U knit stitch for odd rows and purl stitch for even rows. When you knit about 9" to 10", stop and measure the width of your knitting closer to the cast on edge. make a note of that number. knit until your work measures the same length as your width (you want to make it square). If you aren't sure if it really is that length (say it is too stretched or you knit tightly) then take work off the loom with some waste (extra yarn in contrasting color) yarn with a tapestry needle or use a stitch holder. Then measure your knitting length versus width. When you reach that number bind off (cast off) in basic bind off.
Looms:
Use a LG (Large Gauge) loom at 5/8" or 11/16" C2C spacing or your favorite loom for Super Bulky 6 weight yarn.
Typical best looms are:
5/8" Knifty Knitter Type 48 peg round looms (minimum 30 pegs)
CinDWood 5/8" looms min 30 pegs
3/4" Knifty Knitter type 36 peg or 31 peg loom
Any KISS loom or other loom that will get you to the size needed.
You can work with ANY gauge loom with appropriate yarn and just add stitches or take away stitches to get 12" width. Knit until it reaches 12" length. Use this video above to help with weaving in tails and connecting your squares. - Навчання та стиль
Super excited to try this! I always tried for making a HUGE blanket and I end up messing up and can't fix it. So excited to only make small squares at a time. Much easier!
Love this! Someone else might have mentioned already that when sewing the squares you can use a stitch marker or scrap piece of yarn to temporarily hold the squares together; one at each end and one in the middle. It will help keep it even as you sew… just like pinning and basting with fabric.
I've never attempted to try and knit, I only crochet. I can't wait to try this. Thank you so much!
Im really loving this blanket so beautifull
Thank you for this fantastic tutorial. You are awesome with your instructions and explanations!!! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you so much ☺️
Excellent tutorial. This will be a great project for me to use all my bulky yarn. Thank you for sharing your tutorial.
You did a great job explaining things! Thank you
Greetings from London. Just discovered your tutorial I'm hooked. So simple to follow. Your cast on version is the best I've seen. Thank you so much for being here. So excited to start knitting with you. Can't wait to search your cable knit tutorial as I want to knit a chunky hat for my sister. You're amazing. Going to share you with the girls in my knitting group at work. Subscribed!😘
thanks fore this video! - this will be my winter project , im so excited :)
I used to knit when I was younger! I recently got into cross stitch which I absolutely love but it requires a bit more concentration than I’d like to give it sometimes 😂 I’m gonna make this blanket with some color variations! Thanks so the video, it was super helpful 🥰
This is a wonderful tutorial! I feel like trying to knit again lol. I can crochet but never could pick up knitting. Going to give it another try now!
Katrina C. Same for me lol
This video was so helpful!!
OMG I have the exact grayxamd white yarn! I'm starting this blanket I'll order the rest! Yay!
This helped me a lot since I'm a beginner! this will take me a long time though
Thank you thank you.
I love your tutoring.
Marts
Beautiful!!!! loooove it!!! thank you..
ramona medina Thank you!
Nice tutorial.. thanks😊
Thanks
Wow I never could figure out how to fix those weird double things! The fact that it’s called tink is so funny
You inspired me to make a blanket! Thank you. Would you share with me about the needle you are using to knit? I want to buy one of those!
hello Dear I like the way you teached make easy understand specialist for Beginner learn knitting like me .Thank So much Dearest
Thank you so much for your kind words :-). All my best to you on your knitting journey
Is there any way to add a border to a blanket like this?
Omg I love this best begginer tutorial I have seen . I want to make a blanket can I use any yarn or do I need the one like you use in the video.
Beautiful edges. Is that just straight knitting hold the first stitch taught?
Thank you for the detailed pattern. It really helps. Do you have queen size for this? GOD BLESS
You’re channel is my favorite for sure... you have a gift for teaching ♥️ do you have any tips to making the squares more even? I feel like I’m following every step and mine just don’t come out as neat and perfectly square as yours...?
Hannah Sprague I’m so sorry I just saw your comment. If you are being consistent on your stitch count your work should even out when you stitch the squares together. You can also wet or steam block them to square them up afterward. The more you practice knitting the more consistent your knitting will become on tension and gauge
Can i get the same results with the boye plastic looms?
It’s a *great* idea to knit a blanket and send it to Australia. We are 5 days into 2020 and half of the country is burning down. Half a billion animals have tragically died, and blankets are being accepted for the animals that barely managed to escape but got sent to veterinary centres.
I'm making a blanket, 9 squares x ? (don't know yet!) My squares about about 6" each. Having fun! I didn't even know how to knit about 2 months ago.
Hello! Thank you so much for the tutorial, it was very clear! I do need help with buying my yarn; as a beginner I'm still very confused. Does it have to be a specific length? Where can I find that information?
hello. how would it look if you patch two leg sides?
On loom how many rows how many pegs to wrap?
Wow, I am so glad to find your videos. I am French but I understand you verry well. You are a great teacher. I want to knit shirt for my tree little dogs. What is the exact brand of circular needle are you are using . I am looking to buy one. Thank you so much 😊 🌸
+Genevieve Blais hello and thank you very much! The needles are Addi Turbo needles from Skacel
GoodKnitKisses thank you very much to take time to answer me. 😊🌸🌺🌷
Good morning Goodknitkiss, what if you don’t get the width and height, what do I do. Help 🙏🏾. Thank you for sharing and teaching us. Thank you so much. ❤❤
Hello! :) What gauge needles do I need for this project? I know you said 14 in long but what size. Thank you!
Oh I actually have size 7 In the knit picks birch are a 6 and size 7 nickel plated can I make this with these either or?
Love this! What size needles are you using please?
Chelle bells needles size US 11 (8mm). ☺️
Fab, thank you so much for your reply! Very much looking forward to getting started! Your videos are fantastic!
Hi, so excited to find you. I would love to try this but your link for the pattern goes to an "error" page. Is there another way to get the pattern. I'm a new knitter so I would need to have the pattern as a reference. Thank you, Vivian
OOP! So sorry. I updated the video description just now. Here is the link www.yarnspirations.com/bernat-how-to-knit-a-blanket/BRK0502-002483V.html
What size knitting needles did you use please . Using 8ply wool
Can you make this blanket with a loom?
Baginner for left hander lead to knit
It would be amazing if you could eventually do all of the yarnsparations knitting as a tutorial from baginer onwards would take a while but would get you lots of views and subs x

What kind of needles are you using in this video?
Are you using an 8mm circular knitting needle? and what is the length you are using?
Yes I used circulars. The cable was actually too long for the project but really on a small project like this it doesn't matter. a 16"-24" length would work well. Thanks for asking! :-)
Where did you buy your needle..
45 cast on is it too much all 30 to make a blanket
What size are the needles you are using ?
I’m getting about 10 inches with 30 stitches is is because of my needle size? I’m using a US size 13 or 9.0mm
Petra Ortega hi there! Like me you are probably just a tight Knitter; I was a bit tighter knitter like you when I started. Try going up to a size 15 OR don’t change and simply make another column of 10x10 squares. Since you are short on each square by 2” then across all four columns you’ll be short by 8”. So just add a column so your final blanket will be 50” wide. From top to bottom lay out your new column like the following: C (horizontal), B (vertical), A (horizontal), C (vertical), then at bottom B (horizontal). It is much like the 2nd column but the directions are reversed. On the ridges. I hope that helps!
Thank You Very Much 💟
How do I get to speak with you ?
wait, what do you do with the tail? Like the tail at the beginning? Also when you come to the end of attaching the two squares together, how to you finish? Do you just tie and knot and then weave the tail through?
Minute 00:26:19 shows what to do with tails. Use for beginning or ending tails. After you come to the end of attaching you can weave in with the same technique. You don’t need to tie a knot. If you have a long enough tail to weave in then it should be secure enough when woven in well.
@@GoodKnitKisses Thank you so much, i must have missed that bit. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know :) Great video
just letting you know the link in description is for a pull over not the blanket
kneecool I'm so sorry. Here is the corrected link. I've adjusted the one in the description. goo.gl/pt8F7b

Thank you so much, Sarah-Ashley! I've added this to my video description so video chapters should now be available. If you happen to catch any other videos of mine that need them I'd be happy to do it again. Happy knitting! -Kristen
@@GoodKnitKisses I am going back and forth on watching and my pattern and kept losing my place 😂
Knitters; do you count the cast on as a row? 🤷🏻♂️ I’m just lost. I’ve been trying to knit for sooo long and just keep coming up with questions
Adam Paszti-Toth not generally. Most patterns will state a row or round 1. Also in some patterns will have a setup or foundation row/round. It really depends on the pattern maker how to word it.
GoodKnitKisses aw thanks for replying! I’m a bit thick, with this pattern, is the cast included in the rows?
Adam Paszti-Toth no. The cast on is not included in the rows. Now if your pattern states to work until a measured length then you include the cast on in that measurement.
GoodKnitKisses fabulous thank you so much!
Cast off 17:57 :)
The link provided sends me to a 404 error page. Says it does not exist anymore. Thanks for a very nice tutorial*!
Line Madsen so sorry. The google shortner link must have expired. Thank you for asking. Here is the blanket link directly to their page. www.yarnspirations.com/bernat-how-to-knit-a-blanket/BRK0502-002483V.html
Thank you so much
My name is allison
What if I use 6mm needles?
You will need to cast on more stitches to get the squares the same size. You'll need to make at least a 4x4 swatch and count how many stitches per inch. Then estimate from there how many more you'll need.
OR If you want to make with same cast on then you will need more squares to make your blanket. If that is the case you'll need likely one more column of C, B, A C, B plus across the bottom you'll need another row of C, A, B, C, followed by A to make up for the extra column. SO make at least 3 A's, 3 B's, and 4 more C's on top of the one's called for in the pattern.
@@GoodKnitKisses wow thank you amazing videos so easy to follow
I was actually wondering the same question because I only have size 6 needles in knit picks with circulars and I'd love to use them for this project.
Can you plz gift me these needles . I am from pakistan and here these are not available and i cant afford to buy these knitting needles online 😥
you can still use straight needles you'll get the same result?
