Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Starting the Blanket – Creating a Chain

1. Make a Slip Knot:
   • Begin by creating a slip knot to start your project.
   • This slip knot establishes the size of your loops and chains.
     Save
2. Set Loop Length:
   • Adjust the loops to approximately 1.5 to 2 inches, which is a comfortable size for most fingers.
3. Create the Chain:
   • Pinch the yarn through the slip knot to form a loop.
   • Continue pulling loops through each new loop to create chains of equal size.
   • Make 30 chains for a 3x4 throw or adjust based on your desired blanket size.
   • Include the very first chain near the slip knot in your count.

2: First Row of Loops

1. Organize the Yarn:
   • Lay the working yarn in the direction you plan to work, as this makes the process smoother.
2. Work Into the Chain Base:
   • Starting in the first loop near the slip knot, pull another loop through the top of each chain.
   • Ensure the new loops are the same size as your starting chain loops (1.5 to 2 inches).
3. Troubleshooting the First Row:
   • The initial row may twist or feel fiddly, but this will improve as you continue.
   • Double-check that the number of loops matches your initial chain count (e.g., 30 loops for a 3x4 throw).

3: Building Additional Rows

1. Align the Yarn:
   • Move the working yarn to the direction you will be working each time you start a new row.
2. Add Rows:
   • Begin by feeding a loop through the first loop of the previous row.
   • Continue this process across, ensuring you pull evenly sized loops to maintain a uniform look.
3. Tips for Success:
   • Keep the bars of the loops straight on both sides to avoid twisting the loops.
   • Pause between rows to check that your loop count is consistent to prevent accidental decreases.
     Save

4: Adding Skeins of Yarn

1. Simple Knot Method:
   • Tie the new yarn onto the end of the previous skein using a shoelace-style knot.
   • Pull the knot tight and clip off the excess yarn ends close to the knot.
2. Magic Knot Method (Optional):
   • To ensure a stronger, more secure join, Roz recommends the magic knot method.
   • This technique creates a durable join with no risk of unraveling, even after trimming.
   • Roz provides a more detailed explanation in a separate video.

5: Finishing the Blanket

1. Leave Extra Yarn:
   • Before finishing, ensure you have 2-3 lengths of yarn left over to work the final edge.
2. Create a Final Chain:
   • Make your last row of loops slightly larger (about an inch larger than your earlier loops).
   • Start at the opposite side of the blanket and thread the second loop into the first loop.
   • Repeat this "threading through" process to create a neat edge that locks the loops in place.
     Save
3. Secure the Tail:
   • Once you’ve threaded through all the loops, take the remaining tail, thread it through the last loop, and pull tight to secure.
   • You can weave the tail into the edge or use a needle and white thread for added security.
