Thank you so much for this video. I am new to knitting and your video is the first that actually points out how to read the pattern. Now maybe I'll actually find some patterns and follow them effectively. Thanks again! ❤
This is my first time viewing your tutorial. I have knitted long enough to understand you, but have never tried anything this complex. You make this seem doable so I think I’m going to try this. Thank you for breaking this pattern down for us professional beginners knitters
Thank you for the great video! I am relatively new to knitting and this has been extremely helpful! Never had the confidence to try a chart, but after your video and explanation it doesn't seem as scary as I thought LOL. Beautiful pattern can't wait to give it a try.
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.
Love your beautiful work. I am a beginner and you make it look easy. Thank you so much for your help. This means so much to me as I am recently disabled but while I am following you and creating something that makes me happy, my thoughts are with you and not my pain. Thanks again! However, I have a question. In the beginning, you say to k3 rows, is the foundation row the first row or do I need to knit 3 rows added to the foundation row? I knitted 3 rows but I feel better to know if I did it right. Keep up the good work.
After casting on 96 stitches how do you not join.?...Ive been connected to the other needle each time. Also, after I’ve done the first row is it the wrong side as I’m looking at it or do I turn it. If I start with the tail on the right side will the wrong side have the tail on left.side?
Great video. I am no good at reading patterns, so following is great learning for me. But I must ask, why do you have the working yarn in your right hand? If you move it to your left hand you'll double your speed.
@@knitknack2285 It's down to body memory,. Once a movement is made 1000'nds of times like with knitting, the fingers sort of want to do the same. I struggled so hard to learn to knit back, without turning my work to pearl back. I hate pearling. But now, it's my preferred method coz it's quicker. It took a few days.
What if I’m using Serenity chunky yarn that’s 100g. Do I still cast on the same amount and follow the diagram exactly too? I’m afraid it might end up too small. Please help.
I'm still waiting for an answer on my question that I posted earlier. After I did 1-18 do I do repeat on 1- 18? Or do I do 9- 18? This pattern is killing me but I can not give up. This is a gift for my Grandma for her Birthday she's in her 90s. Going to see her in March.
Becky Rosser2 hours ago (edited)I am a bit confused. The written text instructions say begin each row with a Knit 3. The diagram shows beginning first row with Knit 3, but row 2 shows begin with Purl 3. Your video says begin each row with Knit 3. Which is it? Alternate Knit and purl with the first three stitches as diagram shows. I've done as the written text says and began each row with knit 3. I can see my blanket doesn't look like your picture.
I think you're reading all of the boxes with a dash inside as purl's, when they actually mean purl on right side, knit on wrong side. So row two (being the wrong side) is knit 3, slip marker, knit 4, etc.
Thank you for you reply. I did talk to an knitter and she did say I am doing it right. I just need to learn to read the diagram. I think because I am using a dark color yard it didn't look like your blanket. Thanks. I think a lighter yard would be better
Hi Penny! This pattern was designed with a single color to emphasize the texture. A multicolored cake yarn would give it an interested variegated effect. We encourage you to experiment!
Pink Monkey it is recommended that you use circular needles because you’re going to be casting on lots of stitches, about 100 I think. If you have longer needles with stops at the end then I’d say try it out, but it might be less comfortable than with the circular needles. Also those needles can be used for many other Bernat projects!!! Hope this helps!

@@KeminTravels thank soo much for clarifying that. I know this comment is a few years old. But I’ve been trying g to do a demo of this pattern and I can’t never get it right. Thank you.
Alaina Pickering hi, to find the pattern you have to pull down the description box by hitting the small arrow on the top right hand corner just under the video. You'll find a link for the pattern, select it and it will go to a new screen. Here you will see a rectangle bos that says "download PDFs" and you wool have your pattern. If you like you can hit the little circle sign at the top of the screen and that will also download it to Safari (I am using iPad) I like to keep it on a tab in safari in case I cannot print the pattern or something happens before I have finished the product. Hope this helps.
This is a knitting tutorial that I can appreciate. Thank you.

Good explaination esp referring to the chart..Thankyou.
I love this! I love knits and purls.
Thank you. For this pattern.
Thankes for your ad dives for knitting and more patten
Thank you soooo much !! What you said were easy to understand for a beginner:) looking forward to your next video~
Great tutorial! Loved the “knit the purl” and “purl the knit” tips. I used to do that years ago. 😉

Why would you not end in garter stitch to match the other end?

I'd like to use Bernat Satin. What do I need to do to adjust this pattern.

good morning i might have missed you saying this sorry if i did. to change the size of this blanket would that be a multiple of 9 plus 6?
do you start back at row one after you finish row 18?
Can you increase the 9 stitch increase to as large as you like
Hi yarnspiration how many to cast on for a good size throw
Great video. I am no good at reading patterns, so following is great learning for me. But I must ask, why do you have the working yarn in your right hand? If you move it to your left hand you'll double your speed.
she is at just the speed i need lol
@@knitknack2285 Move your working yarn. Plenty of tutorials here. Left hand working yarn makes everything so much faster.
@@apennyforyourthoughts3710 thanks! will try, its so hard to adjust what you are used to.

Hi Pernille!
This is just the way our instructor holds the yarn, but all ways are welcome. Thank you for your comment and invaluable tips!
Same as Julie brown. Do you start 1-18 after 1st 18 rows
Jo Ann Meyer I believe she said start at one again.

I'm a beginning knitter, but this looks like something I could do! If I want it to be wider, do I just add 9 more stitches to get more repeats? TIA!
Susan Terry I believe it's in multiples of 9 plus 6 so I think that would work since she did 18 plus 6.
Hey she knits exactly how I knit! What's this method called, English or Continental?
Its called english dear continental is knitting with the left hand
Hello thank you for the video it's very helpful I would like to know how to increase it to make a bigger blanket thank you
i would imagine when done, just start all over on the diagram?
So it's: Three edge stitches (or an odd number) ... multiples of 9 x however many you want .... 3 edge stitches (or odd number.)
I cannot find a pattern for tumbling blocks
please help
I thought you purl on the wrong side? on the 2nd row you did knit x
You knit and purl on both the right side and the wrong side. You might want to clarify your question.

Where can I get the entire pattern.
Free Pattern: bit.ly/2ra7Opb I think the video says after the 18th row re start at first row instructions
Does this work best with one color yarn or work ok with multi color cake yarns
Hi Penny! This pattern was designed with a single color to emphasize the texture. A multicolored cake yarn would give it an interested variegated effect. We encourage you to experiment!

The picture and instructions are different. However, the pattern is also nice and reversible. Please have this fixed.
What are you gonna do when you finished your 18 and you marked it already omg I can see I’ll get confused
You start over again. I'd make several copies and discard after using.
Can someone send me a link to get this pattern. Thanks.

After doing the 1 - 18 do you repeat 1-18 or do you start 9-18 rows?
I like the tutorial, wish when knitting you wouldn't cover the pattern though.
The second row say,,, purl why you knit?
Can someone just put s god damn video of how to know and not make it NASA science?
