Hand Knit The Coziest Hygge Blanket EVER, With Zero Knitting Experience

How To Make A Hand Knit Blanket

Materials:

• Approximately two pounds of Roving or 10 Skeins Chunky Yarn

Instructions:

*Not pictured* The roving that I purchased and linked to was incredibly thick, so I split it into two pieces by pulling it apart at the middle, v easy. If you get skeins of chunky yarn, you will not need to do this. You also don’t have to split the roving; it really depends on how chunky you want your blanket to be, so feel free to experiment and find the right weight for your desired look.

Begin by measuring out the tail of your yarn, roughly one arm length for each stitch. This does depend on the length of your arm, but measure out at least 20 arm lengths.

Create a slipknot for your first stitch. Make a loop around the thumb of your left hand, and pull the tail through the loop, creating a slip knot.

Slide the first stitch onto your right arm, making sure you keep it loose enough that you’ll be able to slide it back off.

Make a loop with the yarn from the tail, and feed a piece of the working yarn (attached to the ball) through the loop, creating another loop.

Take the loop created from the working ball of yarn and slide it onto your arm next to the first stitch. This is how you’ll create all of your starting stitches. Repeat until until you’ve used all the yarn from the tail you measured out, sliding each new stitch onto your arm.

This is what your arm should look like as you’re creating your stitches!

Once you have all 20 stitches on your arm, slide them off onto the surface/table you plan to work on. I ended up with slightly more than 20 stitches, because I have uber long arms :)

Take the working yarn and feed a small loop through the first stitch on the left hand side of your row.

TA DA, so easy! Repeat this to each stitch.

Repeat again going right to left.

Keep going back and forth, making loops inside the previous stitches, until you get to your desired length.

To finish off your blanket, take two of the top stitches all the way to the right and feed a loop of the working yarn through them.

Repeat this step until you have reached the left side of the blanket.

Make a knot with the remaining looped yarn.

You now have the world’s coziest blanket, and you made it with your own two hands!

Oh so cozy.

Puppies loved it just as much as people did around the office!
