We’ll cover what kind of yarn to use, how to get started, and how to make a chunky blanket for about $30.
Hand knitting is a super simple and totally doable craft, even for a complete beginner with no knitting experience.
All you need to make a chunky hand knit blanket is some super chunky yarn and maybe a needle and thread for joining balls of yarn together. That’s it! No knitting needles required.
Start by sitting at a table or other flat surface with the ball of yarn in front of you and the tail end of the yarn extended toward you.
Make A Slip Knot
For the first row of the blanket, you’ll create a chain. Reach through the loop you just created and grab the working yarn. Pull it through the first loop to create second a loop that’s the same size (use your hand to check the size of the loop).
Create A Chain For The First Row
Now you’ll start creating knit stitches, which is the simple stitch you’ll repeat to hand knit the whole blanket. You are ready to start your first row, working toward the left.
