To wash, put it in a king size pillowcase, tie it closed and wash.
Like the bags you use for delicates.

its the fourth day of september and this woman got me excited for christmas YAS

here in 2024 using this video as a guide and the yarn is now 23.99 for one bundle (I don't know what it's called). For five bundles I spent $116. It was worth it because of your clear instructions on how to make the blanket and I thank you for that. This is my first ever project and it should be done soon. 6 years later (meaning 2018-2024), this video is such a great use as a beginner. Thank you!

It's currently 76 degrees outside yet here I am, watching a video on how to make a blanket. Well done Kathryn!

I just want to say, firstly I do not comment often on YouTube videos at all. However, I feel it’s necessary for me to say that for YEARS I’ve always tried to learn but I couldn’t figure out how to make a 2nd row or just finish a simple scarf or blanket. This video, literally made me get up and get my old unused yarn that I quit using and I made a really nice blanket in 2 hours. THANK YOU. I’m so happy! Amazing video and Love how short and simple it was. Thank you ♥️

When you join a new skein, instead of cutting off the tails, weave them into your blanket. This way, if your knot loosens (which it likely will if you're using a chenille yarn like the one pictured, ) your whole blanket won't unravel.

WHOA! That was NOT the sudden burst of loud energy I expected from the cozy, calming, neutralized thumbnail.

Just made this for a friend. Took about 2 hours total time. So excited about the outcome. I told my family everyone is getting one for Christmas. Super easy to follow instructions. I can’t wait to make myself one!

It took me 2 hours to make this blanket today. Definitely do it on a table.

The blankets that are stupidly expensive are made of a completely different material (wool roving). It pills terribly with frequent use and is not machine washable, so not ideal if you have kids and want to snuggle with them under a chunky blanket. This is a much better option, and way less expensive. Great idea!

I had to look up how these are made, because my awesome neighbor made me one for Christmas. She used maroon, black and gray yarn. It's truly one of the best handmade gifts I've ever received. These are super warm, and my cat is constantly kneading it. 😊

I have been knitting for 45 years and did not know I could do that. Thanks for sharing.

[melrose]

As an avid knitter and crocheter, these instructions were so clear and easy! People who do crochet and knitting diys should use yarn this size lol

[atbvip]

I’ve made this blanket a few times over the past 3 years already because of your video and I’m now making 2 more while watching some tv. Thank you for this video! It’s been so helpful and I’m so glad I get to keep rewatching it when I need it 😊

[Josco]

I don't know why this came on my feed, but I'm down to make one!

[niecyb]

FYI Michaels has this yarn for $4 or $5 this week

[sandracoleman]

Found this video this morning, had a nice blanket the evening! Great video. I did 30 loops and used 10 8oz skeins. Ended up a great size for snuggling with with! Thank you.
