Hello Tee, it is better to use circular needles to knit the blanket because there are many stitches and there may not be enough room on straight needles. Those US 50 needles do take some getting used to and some rest breaks are good for your hands/wrists.

Original Squishmallows plush are made with soft, high-quality materials and come in a variety of characters, colours and styles. The chunky yarn you need for this blanket can be any fiber of your choice, from acrylic to blends to wool yarn.

You will need circular needles to accommodate the number of stitches and weight of the blanket as you knit. Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. If the Rico yarn you want is 109 yards per 100g then you would need around 15 skiens for the project. Not only do they look amazing, but the extra weight behind the stitch means the fabric is soft, squishy and super warm.

This project also makes a great yarn stash buster giving you the versatility to play around with the colours and layout. This just means that extra stitches are needed to keep everything balanced (symmetrical) but the extra stitches are not part of the actual stitch pattern. If you are a new knitter and want to knit a blanket, this project may seem huge, but it is really easy and knits up pretty fast. Yes, you would have to use a smaller size needle with two strands of bulky yarn together – if you use the US 50 needles the knitted fabric will be very loose and open.That is your problem, if you are only working round 1 of the pattern, then you are missing the crucial fluffy bits gained in round 2! This super chunky throw blanket is really cuddly and squishy, perfect for cuddling up on those cold afternoons.

So yes calculate by the amount in yards or meters and that will help you to see how much yarn you will need for the blanket.

I am trying to make a pair of mittens top-down with this stitch but am unsure of the best method for increasing/decreasing with this double knit fabric stitch. The kit comes with everything you need to get started including our super chunky yarn, 10mm circular knitting needles, tapestry needle, easy to follow pattern and mini video tutorials. The first rows of the blanket are knit in garter stitch, then you will move into the broken rib stitch. However when it comes to crocheting a blanket it can be overwhelming when deciding on what stitches to use so I have come up with ‘The Best Stitches for Blankets’.

What better way to impress your loved ones this Christmas, than with a this beautiful hand knit Santa sack that can be brought out year after year and passed down as a family heirloom.The kit comes with everything you’ll need to knit your own striped chunky blanket in your chosen colours. The Blossom Cardigan Kit is a beginner friendly knit kit, available in UK sizes XS-XXL and 18 super chunky yarn colours. Working the pattern in the round so far (seeing that I have to repeat round 1 only) It’s not as fluffy as the flat swatch. I used 12 skeins of the Yarn Art Alpine Alpaca at 150g each, totalling 1800g, so you would need half of that total amount at around 900g. The throw is large enough to spread out over your bed or to lounge around on the sofa, whatever your preference is, this is a cozy size blanket.
