By knitting with the large needles, I found it gave the blanket a more uniform, tighter stitch. I tried several methods to make this including arm knitting and needle knitting. ? Or you can go to the Lion Brand list of Kits here and find the blanket that way!

? As usual, you can scroll down to check out the free pattern and video tutorial below, or you may choose to purchase the kit which is available in Lunar Rock (grey) or Navy Peony from Lion Brand Yarn here. AND, when you see these big knit blankets retailing at $500 a piece (do a google search and you’ll see what I mean!), you’re still money ahead if you make one. It’s definitely the most expensive yarn I’ve ever used at about $100 per skein, but it’s a good price when you compare it to other comparable big “yarns” out there. You only need one skein to make the blanket that I made and you can literally make it in a few hours.

I’m also guessing it washes up a lot easier than raw merino wool which is a plus. However, this “Yooge” yarn doesn’t fuzz at all. The idea of flying fuzzies has been my main trepidation with investing in merino wool to make a large knit blanket. Let’s get right to the video and you can read more about how I ended up using this method below! Be sure to click “play” if it isn’t running.īefore I dive into how I made this, I want to give you some insight about the yarn. It was sooo much easier than either method! I want to show you exactly how I made this, and ultimately it wasn’t arm knit OR needle knit. Who else has always wanted to try your hand at one of those giant knit blankets you see all over internet land? I HAVE! It was so exciting when Lion Brand offered to send me one of their newest yarns that happens to be a huge, gorgeous yarn perfect for a big blanket.
