After unwrapping your yarn, so now it’s now time to make your first stitch. First of all, you should know that most DIY chunky knit blankets are made by arm knitting. Our yarn is super thick, chunky and perfect for knitting DIY chunky blankets. Read more about why choose our wool over the others in our blog post “Why choose Wool Art products”. Not only was this DIY chunky hand knit blanket easy to make, but I didn’t have to buy a that much yarn to make it in a HUGE, luxurious size! It’s a full 4 feet by 6 feet, which is the perfect oversized throw blanket.
Remember that the side stitches need to be knitted only one time per row. End the row with knitting the last stitch and start the row with knitting the second stitch. The length of the crocheted chain will be the width of your blanket.
Step 3: Wash
There should be no need to iron your weighted blanket. For blankets that have a duvet cover, consider removing and washing just the cover instead of the entire blanket. Often, duvet covers can be machine washed and dried, but check the care label beforehand.

You can weave in the ends using a yarn or tapestry needle. I like to do this as I finish each square to prevent a large amount of weaving in at the end of the project. If your granny square comes out too large, try using a smaller size hook.

Now it’s time to figure out how many stitches to cast on for your blanket. According to the above chart, if you’re making a baby blanket, it’ll be 40″/102 cm wide. There aren’t really any rules about what yarn you can and can’t use to knit a blanket. Any weight from sock to mega-bulky will work, depending on the desired effect. Fiber content can vary, but usually, 100% wool and blends with silk, rayon, and cotton will provide solid results. The latter are also often the least expensive and are readily available at big-box retailers. If you’re looking for a weighted blanket that is super easy to maintain and compatible with dry-clean handwashing or washer & dryer, we recommend Nuzzie Knit.
