How to Knit a FUNKY Modern Blanket! 🤩
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Knit this funky modern colour block Chevron Blanket with me!
Makes for a perfect baby gift in bright modern colours. It's knitted in garter stitch, using a simple increase and decrease to create the points and troughs of the chevron. This is a great blanket for a beginner who has mastered the basic knit stitch and wants to tackle something slightly more adventurous.

What a lovely pattern. I’m glad you’ve chosen to upload patterns on your channel, because I remember when you didn’t post patterns just yarn. I think this kinda content should help your channel grow. Especially as you’re very good at teaching and explaining things that new knitters might get caught out on. Keep up the great work. 👏🏼🧶

Thank you! Yes I’ve decided to take a different direction with the channel now instead of what I originally planned 😀
Ive now completed one rug and on to my second. I really love this pattern however I must say putting stitch markers at the start of each pattern sequence (18) stitches was a life saver. If I miss counted it meant I only had to involve the last 18 stitches. This really worked for me and meant I could zone out in front of the TV a little easier. Ha ha ha

Thanks for sharing I've been knitting all my life also having knitting machines throughout my life now i just enjoy hand knitting and it helps with my arthritis in my wrists I've done many patterns but seeing your tutorial i was amazed at the way you did the last stitch i had never thought of doing that before and I totally agree with you it does make a neater edge but I found by knitting into the back of the first stitch on the next row there's no loop thank you so much for this beautiful pattern 💕💓💞👍🌟👏
Amazing blanket great video well explained thank you so much 🎉

I made a note of this the other day and wrote "kfb". I immediately said "oh no" bc I kept writing kfb instead of kbl in other patterns. For the first time it really WAS kfb!

That’s not something I can easily answer - it depends on the yarn weight used and the size of needles, I would knit up a small sample, measure and weigh it and then you’ll get a good idea of how much j you’d need
If I wanted to do a longer chevron, I could theoretically do k15, k2t, then k14 and kfb? Or something along those lines, just always doing one less on the second knit?

Nice pattern. What yarn do you recommend for baby blanket without using acrylic yarn? I prefer something natural like wool but soft. Would I use merino or superwash? What brand do you recommend?
@SnufflebeanYarn
Жыл бұрын
Personally I use acrylic for it’s easy care nature so I’m not really best placed to reccomend a natural fibre yarn. Bamboo yarn or a bamboo cotton mix could be a nice soft option.

My knitting and crochet work is back to basics since I had a stroke……. All I do is baby blankets and baby hats etc. I use mostly acrylic and I find them lovely and soft. I agree with the bamboo ranges , they are lovely and soft also but I think my favourite wools are Debbi Bliss. She has a very wide range of wools, very very soft and squishy. The draw back for me would be the cost of these natural wools, merino etc.

I agree with regards to using a good quality Acrylic. If you are knitting for a hospital baby unit, they prefer the use of acrylic, as that yarn is usually easycare, and washes well, and is hypoallergenic @@christinenewell2679

It’s approx 60 x 80cm and I think I used about 300g of dk weight yarn total but I didn’t weigh it.
Currently completed first row. As I start second row I’m noticing additional stitches (perhaps from the slip purl-wise). Should there be an extra stitch? If so, wouldn’t that misplace following stitch pattern?

If you have the correct cast on and have worked the repeat correctly then that shouldn’t be the case as this is definitely a 1 row repeat 🙂

It’s thicker yarn than I used so if you cast on the same amount of stitches as I did your blanket will be bigger - the 7 skeins you have will more than likely be enough, if you want the blanket the same size as mine you’ll need to cast on less stitches as you’re working with thicker yarn.
