Best part of these blankets is when you try to wash them and instead are left with a big block of felt 🤩

I watched this video 2 years ago. I decided to make a blanket. I had never done anything with yarn before other than a VERY short knitting obsession when i was 7. After making the blanket I made more finger knit stuff. Two years later I have crocheted more things than I can count and now am getting into sewing! Thank you for helping a little bit in starting this journey! ❤

I might be wrong but this looks a lot like wool roving, which is unspun yarn (it's prepped for spinning, but not actually spun and is meant for people who want to spin their own yarn at home) which is a big problem!

When the wool is not spun the fibres will easily seperate which means the blanket will easily come undone, shed and pile, it will look bad within days or weeks. It's also a magnet for dust and pet hair, and it can't be washed because it will definitely felt and look terrible + fall apart.

This isn't that different from taking a bag of cotton strips (degreasing cotton) and making a blanket out of that, it won't hold. Except the wool is so much more expensive.

I would be sceptical of any 100% wool yarn that size, if it is actually yarn and not roving it will definitely be more expensive to buy the yarn vs an actual knit blanket (hundreds of dollars, if not thousands).

If you want to make something like this I recommend going for a synthetic fibre yarn, a tube yarn or jumbo chenille. The first kind being the most similar, but might also have some shedding issues depending on quality. It'll likely hold better, be much cheaper and will also be a lot lighter since synthetic yarn generally is. One brand I've heard mentioned is Couture Jazz, but I have never tried it myself.

Ok but why is this tutorial easier to understand then normal crocheting?

[vectorperkins]

this size of yarn actually seems like a good size to demonstrate techniques on. like starters for beginners and stuff like that 😃

Apart from this possibly falling apart due to the material used another issue is the stockinette stitch, which you wouldn't usually use for a project that's supposed to lay flat. The stitch curls up on it's own, and sure, you can block it like you did, but there are simply better ways (like using double sided stitches) to deal with this. also using a crochet stitch rather than a knitting stitch would make this project much easier to pull off and less prone to unraveling while you work on it

Very creative.love it, it looks like it took forever to finish .😂😂❤❤❤❤

I cannot imagine how fluffy that yarn is

[Kyra-qnnh]

Sneeze and this unspun yarn will fray and fall apart. See how she's being VERY gentle with it? Be anything other than gentle, and it's destroyed. Don't make these.

Насмотревшись таких видео, решила то же связать такое одеяло. Необычное. Но у него несколько недостатков:
1)Холодное. Как ни странно! если слегка прохладно, то норм, а вот если реально прохладно, то оно сифонит.
2)Скатывается. Катышки, катышки и еще раз катышки.
3)Маркое, на него налипает всякий мелкий мусор и намертво в него спивается. Особенно ниточки, ворсинки, колючки.
4)Сваливается в войлок вместе с мусором.
5)После стирки садится, деформируется, нужно стирать вручную, не выжимая, сушить плашмя и растягивать.
6)В процессе использования теряет объем, после стирки так вообще.
Короче одноразовая вещь.

If you decide to finger knit a blanket (with any yarn), i recommend not pulling loops up as high as she did. The bigger the loops, the bigger the gaps in the blanket. You can see when she holds it over her shoulders how big the gaps in the blanket are. I def reccomend only pulling up loops a short amount so that the following row is snug. But then again, this is also a personal preference

You can't actually use this as a blanket, it will literally fall apart when you pick it up use chennile instead. I like the chunky blanket style that people say is ugly, but I don't like it when I pick up a blanket and it literally falls apart.

I used to hand knit as a kid but hand crocheting is a whole other level

[cuts.bygracie]

i love how she made this cute little subtle sound with this video KNOWING her anxiety was 📈 i’ve made numerous of these, and they are SO expensive to make. mine range from 70-100 dollars, and they take FOREVER, but the outcome is always worth it:)

Hi I am a beginner, and I am so impressed with your work and can't wait to start my chunky blanket. I am a stay home grandma helping raise my 4yr old granddaughter. I have arthritis and this will be great for me as a therapy.

[TiffanyDesvigne-nchl]

Thank you! I am normally a crocheter, just taught myself to hand knit yesterday and was trying to figure out how to start a blanket, but it kept bowing out on the ends.. this made it easy to see what I'm doing! (No chaining up like with crochet). Awesome. Going to try later.

And all it takes is one curious child to unravel it all

Какая нежность даже смотреть приятно))))
