Thank you so much. I knit a lot of laprobes n this pattern is perfect
Yay! I'm so glad it will work for you! 😀
I’m new to knitting and as a beginner knitting seems like unattainable magic but whewie! This is so simple and amazing! Thanks so much!
Hi Zan, you'll find this magic in all of the knitting techniques you'll learn! 🧙♀️
Hi Nancy. Thanks for teaching me a new way of knitting a baby blanket. It turned out beautifully.
I have a worsted weight yarn I will have to make adjustments! Thank you for an idea for a blanket
Cynthia Crismon You’re welcome! You keep everything the same except the needle size then knit until it’s the desired size.
I love it it is easy way thinks for sharing . God bless u fantastic
Hi Habiba, I'm so glad you enjoyed this project video! 😀
I have made several triangle shawls and one baby square blanket thus far from your videos
Thank you!
Could I keep going and make it bigger ? Thanks for tutorial
thank you for showing this increase - I have been making my mitered blankets this way for several years but I was never happy with my increase stitch in the middle (I use different ways depending on my needle/yarn size) - it was like a "duh" moment for me because I just never thought of using this increase lol - I make blankets like this to use up left over yarn too - great video
Thank you for an informative and clear tutorial. Now I can use those single cakes of Mandala.
Glad to hear it! Enjoy! 😀
Thank you for this I’ve always wanted to know how to do the miter stitch
Hi Kim, It's so easy once you learn it, isn't it? I always love how non-knitters are amazed at this bit of knitting magic! 😀
Hi love this video I was wondering when you pick up the yarn and knit to make a stitch can you knit it in the back loop as it seems a little bit odd on the needle
Nancy, thank you! This is such a fun blanket. I went and got the yarn and started knitting while watching tv. It's so easy and fun that I had so much done in no time. Great fun. I may check with our hospital and see if they would accept these blankets to give to new parents. :)
Hi Karen, I'm so glad you are enjoying this TV knitting project! Happy knitting! 😀PS. I hope the hospital accepts these blankets.
I hope you were successful ~! My daughter was knitting baby hats to give to hospitals,and the main stipulation they had was no wool. I guess some babies have a reaction to wool......they wanted either cotton or 100% acrylic yarn only.
Hey Nancy I love your video I was just wondering if you have one on how to add colour
Love this video...was easy to follow. Thank you for making this content
Yay!!! I want to try this right after shawl :3 thank you!!!!
Would like to have seen you do the bind off increase in the middle and continue down the other side. Thanks.
Hi Linda, Thank you so much for your feedback. I will be sure to include it on my next mitered project! 😀
@@nobleknits Yes I would like to see this too as I am confused by "work your increase".... thanks.
NHow do you make the next row after maling the middel triangel Thank you🌞🌞
Thank you Nancy for your lovely project’s there are great to
Watch I am going to do a few projects. I am a knew knitter😉please
Keep on going and look after yourself.
Anne-Marie
Love this so much. Looks stunning but is so simple to do
Thanks, Gurdun! It is really easy - give it a try and let me know how it works out for you! 😀
Great video thank you
Hi Joan, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😀
This is a great video!! The only suggestion I have is for you to show us the binding off with the increase. You verbally describe it but I need to see it! Did u do a video for this? Thank you.
Hi Cindy, Oh! I don't have a video on that but I will add it to my list. Thanks for your kind words and suggestion! 😀
@@nobleknits I would like that too.
If I just lift first stitch to make sides nice and clean, do I cast on same number if stitches?
Hi Len, Yes! You cast on the same number of stitches. 😀
@@nobleknits Thank you.
Thank you Nancy for this lovely beginners baby blanket. I'm a new knitter and feel a sense of accomplishment after watching your tutorials. Having a bit of a problem with Make 1 but I think over time it will get easier. Thanks for sharing your talent. Would love to see more beginner tutorials. Claudette 👍👍
Hi Claudette, I'm so happy to hear you found the video helpful and that it has motivated you to knit more. I've been knitting for more than twenty years and still discovering new knitting techniques. That is one of the things I love about knitting - it's a hobby that you can keep learning and growing with for the rest of your life. Keep going with the M1's, they will get easier - I promise! I'll keep coming up with beginner tutorials. Happy knitting! 😀
Nice blanket. Do you just keep going if you want a bigger blanket.
Hi Sharon, Yes! Just keep going until it's the size you want 😀
@@nobleknits thanks so much!
Can you do this for a bigger blanket
Hello!! Thanks for the video. I love the color of the yarn and the detailed instructions. I'm currently knitting this project and I have 42 stitches marker and 39 stitches. Am I doing something wrong?
Great project!!
Thanks! Let me know how it works for you. 😀
So awesome, I love this video, thank you so much for sharing your talents!
Hi Rachel, You're welcome. Keep me posted on your progress! 😀
Bellissime colori...👏
Thank you, Rody!
Awesome, I love it
Thanks, Linda! It's a fun project to knit especially with a self-striping yarn. 😀
Thanks for this it is what i was looking for i was wondering how to make it continuous.
Hi Franca, I'm so glad you found the video! Happy mitered square knitting! 😀
Hello
Thank you for this lovely pattern. I'm not new to knitting but I seem to be having a problem in the adding a stitch area. I keep coming up with a hole where it looks joined but almost like I dropped a stitch. What could I be doing wrong? I've looked over your video multiple times and I do the increase after each time I flip the marker. Was I supposed to increase one row and knit the next one to keep the little hole out of the blanket? I appreciate your help. I have 3 blankets to mske asap. Thanks
I love this blanket pattern! Unfortunately I have 36 inch circulars so it will have to be a smaller blanket. I hope to make really long ones some day!
Could you please tell me if I could make a shawl like this somehow? That is a beautiful project! I need to get the understanding of the M1 stitch...don't worry. ..I will! Thank you again!
Hi Patrice, You must be a mind reader! I'm working on a shawl right now that has similar shaping and you won't need to learn an M1 to do it! If you subscribe to my channel and hit the notification bell, you'll get an alert when I post that video! 😀
@@nobleknits Wow! Thank you! You're a wonderful teacher! I can hardly wait, because I really enjoy making shawls! Overall, I enjoy knitting...period!
Can you tell me how to measure the length I'm new to knitting but love this blanket so far I couldn't tell how to measure the on the video
Can I use kfb to increase instead of using m1
Can you make it bigger? Love NobleKnits!!!
Hi Peggy, Yes! Just keep knitting and your square will get larger and larger.
@@nobleknits As always, NobleKnits answers immediately! Thanks, I can't wait to try this.
@@peggymalloy8726 🥰
Gute Idee
Can you increase anyway?
Hi Debra, Good question! You can, actually I played around with several increases before deciding on this one. What I like about that make one increase is that it creates a nice reversible ridge in the center and there are no holes for baby's fingers to get stuck in. Let me know what you end up doing! 😀
Beautiful work taught n explained in a simple way God bless u n increase your knowledge n grant you lots of success n happiness love you bye. 👍😘🙏❤
Annu, Thank you for your kind words! Enjoy the project! 🥰
I am wondering if Mitered Rectangles are a thing? Or if I should just make two squares and stitch them together?
Hello Nancy. I am going to be trying this blanket later on. I haven't worked increases for mitered squares before (usually I've done the decrease). Usually on the decrease patterns, it'll have you knit the wrong row. Will that work with this pattern as well?
Hi Paul, This is a really easy pattern. After the setup row, every row is the same. Rather than doing an increase every other row (as on the projects you've made), every row is the same so there is no right or wrong side. Give it a try and you'll learn how to do a Make 1 increase!😀
Can i possibly use different yarn with the appropriate sized knitting needles. Does it have to be with circulars or can i use straight needles. Which one would you prefer?
Want do this
Hi Ada, You are ready - it's a beginner project so give it a try and keep me posted on your progress! 😀
Okay, newbie question: 'M1' has been mentioned a number of times in the comments...could someone please explain what that is? Much thanks in advance. 💕
Hi Kate, A M1 increase is done by picking up the strand between two stitches and knitting it to add another stitch to your project. I have a video on how to do it: ua-cam.com/video/opr7FJhh0Vo/v-deo.html
What size needle and how long round
Hi Marie, I used a size US 6 circular 40" needle. You can use a longer one than that if you'd like. I have a full list of materials in the description as well.
NobleKnit
where is the list of materials?
If your doing a adult blanket. Before you start binding off how many stitches on the needle?
Hi Lori, Rather than counting the number of stitches on the needle for an adult blanket, I would measure one of the sides (not on the needles) of the blanket. Decide how big you want the square to be and when it reaches that length, you'll know it's time to bind off. My blanket measures 23.5" square without blocking. 😀
@@nobleknits thank you
Thank you for this tutorial but can you show how to switch between colours/ different pieces I case I run out of yarn
Beautiful
I am finding this pattern does not work with cotton. I think that is because there is very little elasticity in cotton yarn. Very easy to follow though.
how much length should be for a lady
I'm a beginner so I hope I can do this..😉
You can! This blanket is entirely knitted except for the one tiny part in the middle of the row. Keep me posted on your progress! 😀
@@nobleknits thank you and I will.
Okay, have ordered nice baby yarn to make this but while I wait am making a 'practice' blanket for my dog. I am up to 42 stitches and the darn thing is NOT a square, it is turning into a half circle. What on earth am I doing wrong? (I took a photo but I guess we can't include a photo in comments). Help, please, have my heart set on making this beautiful little blanket. 😭
Hi Kate, I'd love to try and help! If you email me here: blog.nobleknits.com/contact I'll send you my actual email and you can send me photos.😀
I've pulled this apart it's not looking like yours. What am I doing wrong
Hi Tammy, I'm not sure what's going on with your blanket. You can join our private Facebook group and post pictures on there so I can help identify the problem: facebook.com/groups/nobleknits
Tried it 4 times.....did not work.
Hi Mary, after about 20 rows, did you hold your needles at a 90-degree angle so you could see how the square looks? It doesn't look like it's doing anything while the stitches are on the needle but if you knit to the center and then put your needles at an angle, you'll be able to see that things are knitting up beautifully.

I started working on my new blanket and it’s easy to follow. Thank you. When done I’ll post a picture.
Great video thank you
