Advice for new knitters…

Plus for complete newbies, I would suggest starting out with a small blanket, like a baby blanket or a pet blanket because a large one could be quite overwhelming. 

Tip – Choose a pattern with blanket squares so you can work on smaller pieces and learn different stitch patterns at the same time.

Knitted blankets are also an excellent gift idea.

If you love knitting gifts for your friends and family, a one-of-a-kind blanket can be a great holiday or birthday present.

Choose The Perfect Yarn

When choosing the right yarn for your throw, you need to ask yourself how warm do I want this blanket to be.

The thicker the strands of yarn, the tighter your stitches will be and the larger your blanket. 

So a bulky or super bulky yarn will be an excellent choice rather than a DK weight yarn or Aran weight yarn. 

What fiber should I choose?

When it comes to fiber, wool is your best option for fall and winter blankets.

A wool and acrylic blend yarn is an excellent choice as the acrylic yarn provides better wear and tear. 

The Lion Brand Yarn – Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick And Quick is a perfect choice for blankets.

How do I find yarn substitutes?

There are many yarn substitutes also, like Stylecraft Swift Knit, Grundl Alaska, Big twist Yarns Natural Blend, Yarn Bee Effortless Super Bulky, and Hobbii Umami.
