 Get in here babe. Thanks you like 35 dollars. Get in there. Get it. Come on We just made this chunky blanket for like thirty five dollars And it only took about an hour, and we'll show you how we did it right now What is up a welcome back? Do you like to do a builder make it? So do we and we do it every week This week we're making a chunky blanket. No tools That's right So if you happen to have seen our blanket ladder video You I feel like you have to have a chunky blanket to go on that ladder So plus I've wanted to make one all winter long and this isn't the kind of project That Garrett super enthused about but since we made the ladder and I committed to making the blanket in our last video That's true. I'm gonna teach Garrett how to make a chunky blanket I'm gonna make him do it because he needs something to keep busy. So we're gonna see how he does Will this keep me busy? Oh, yeah, yeah Yeah, you're gonna be busy. I can whip this one out. All right. Let's do it. So time me Step one We're gonna gather all our supplies for this one. It was super simple. We really just needed one material Chunky yarn, and we needed eight Skeens Skeens Kim told me several times And you know what my OCD just kicked in, do you know how long it took me to organize these to make them look nice? Very good Yeah Step two and now we knit My knitting Okay, but there are a lot of steps within the knitting so I feel like he thinks step two knit and we're done Yeah, that's a little more than that step one gather stuff Step two knit knit it out Step one Within step two step 2.1. Yes, we'll do 2.1 deal All right. All right, you're gonna make a slipknot So that's how you're gonna start and cast on cast on cast off Well, I know karate by the end of this. Mm-hmm. So what am I casting it on to? All right, so you're gonna do a little slipknot Do you know how to make it weren't you in the Navy? Don't you have to do a slipknot? I wasn't the Navy. That was a long long time ago Can you make a little knot like that? Do you see that? Oh, okay That's a slipknot. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so Like this. Nope. I didn't do that so just Come around Just a little knot. Oh like half a tie half a shoelace. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, half a shoelace. I get it Okay This isn't too long for everyone Yep, that looks right Just want you to know he is not acting Look, I've crossed it over. All right Let's probably get instructed for someone else and I'm just gonna put that okay and tie it I got it now. All right. Let me try again. Okay All right, wait, I might have already forgot so I twist it over and then this piece comes through. Yep Yeah, but you only need a little bit so Try and just leave a small tail. No sense in wasting it Which one do I pull and then get a small? The short one. All right, but that's two you want a small A loop, right? So you got yourself a little knot there. Make sure it's tight enough Okay, so I got my knot with my small little loop Nice big tail. Yes, we'll take care of that tail at the end Okay So now the trick with knitting with this chunky yarn is to have all of the loops the same size So for the rest of the project you want your loops this size. Okay, you got that look at it know it Study it. Yes You got it. I mean, all right, so now we're just gonna chain on I don't know the finished size of this blanket, but we're gonna do How big do we want it? Let's do do we want a really big We have enough to make a queen-size blanket. We really want to use it or is it for decoration? It's for decoration and I say it's small as possible It's because I think I'm gonna lose gear it's interest halfway through this project All right, let's but you still have to have enough to actually make it look like a blanket So let's do 25. We're gonna cast on 25 25 more loops Yes, so what you're gonna do is stick your fingers through the loop Pull it through and make another loop same size same size. Okay. All right I don't lose counts now. All right, so this is one. That's one is this loop zero. That's the loop one so one To I don't twist it or anything. Nope. You don't want to twist it. You want to keep it nice and straight good question I feel like I lost that middle one. Yeah, I feel like you're Okay To now pull it just pull it on through. Let's see keep that see how I'm gonna hold it Oh, so you got to hold it open You don't have to hold it open But you just want to make sure that you don't like lose your loops. All right, so how many is that now? I don't know. All right, let's try it. Now that you know it. All right. That's it I'm good now in for the outside. So that's one. This is two. That's two. I need 25 of these I Could do the next 12 13 No, but I do the next the next view. I'm at 13. Okay. I got you 25 all right now that I've done 25 With no help All right, I wonder all right So you may not need to do this, but it might be easiest for a beginner I'm gonna flip this whole thing over for you because I feel like you're gonna work easier from left to right. Okay Okay. All right, so Now you have a little loop at the end Yeah Now you're gonna start making so that was your casting on now You're gonna make your first read that whole thing was casting on. Yeah I thought just the knot was casting on. No, that was just your knot. So the first row is called casting on Is the last row called casting off? Yes All right, so now to make your first row and this is where those cameras really need to zoom in tight Okay, we're gonna yours are nice and loose so that's Nice it's easy to see that's the loose. So now you can see I'm gonna make a little loop and I'm gonna come up on underneath Yeah, you see I'm gonna do this I'm going to at least I think I'm going to I'm gonna make a little loop. I'm gonna come through the top of each knob down the line. Yep The top of each one So how many did you start with? 25 okay, so I do 25 the same you need 25 loops at the top, uh-huh So this is one don't forget this little guy. You're gonna loop him in next time from zero One two three My job is to make sure you have plenty of yarn and I'm ready to go How many rows do we have to do do we have to do 25 rows of this? Well as long as you want it, how long do you want it? I say Like four rows like that wide This is not good. This is not a 15-minute project Not that they ever are and they ever are I mean I saw people doing it and it looked like they were doing it fast So I figured we'd be able to pop it out Yeah, I think this next row is gonna be even easier for you because all your little loops are gonna be here Yeah, no, yeah, well, let's count them up. So you need 25 one two One two three four five six seven eight, and you should periodically count and make sure you still have 25 almost done Now it's as simple as okay, so this was your last loop right You're gonna leave that little guy and you're just gonna start looping back through the next one So I'm skipping one. That was your yeah. Well, that was your 25th loop over here. I do 24 25 It'll be 25 still because you're gonna loop this little guy and I make it 25. Okay, so you're gonna count him loop here Yep Now it gets real easy and then hopefully you can start going a little faster 10 10 loops 14 loops 15 loops Oh, that's all right. He'll Tucker himself out But that's a big one Keep on the same set. Did I not tell you? Gotta keep them small out this one right here. That one has he was on steroids. Should we go back? He's been lifting weights. Okay, I Feel like it'll all come out in the wash When you see a big hole at the bottom of ours. No, it's scared. It's big loop right here. That's for your foothold You get to the remote I'm gonna do this this guy. Yes, so let's count them up. We'll make sure we have 25 at the end I'll go definitely do that guy We're your laugh at the end of that one. All right now you just come back Yes, but not do that guy leave him by himself because that was your last loop now. You start over here Okay, and just keep going one now your rows are starting to form and it'll be looking good Two loops not too big Three loops We're gonna fast forward this thing here in a minute and I am going to take Okay, so now we're on our last row We've just completed our last row. So now we have to cast off cast off So you're going to take this take the second loop. Yeah, put it through the first loop Then you're gonna take the third one and loop it through and you're gonna take that loop and put it through that one It's like a looping mess. It's like a looping mess. Yes. I'm sorry, then you're gonna Give another one another stitch put it through and you're gonna use that Just gonna tie each one together all the way down. Mm-hmm. I got you. I got you okay So then I take these two So you're gonna you're gonna go ahead and loop this through make the oh, yeah, and then you're gonna put it through here And keep that one Loop it through You're just braiding it in now put it in, huh? Right. I'm down at the tail Okay, so now if you loop the last one Well, you got to get through there Make it happen All right, so now you're gonna take what we just happened to have like just enough now you're gonna make this a knot You might not slide in the middle. Hope the camera above can see so now you're just gonna tie it off at the end I'm just gonna make the little knot right on the end So even a knot no looped it through hold on I got it. I got it. I Just tied it Just enough Yeah, or perfect measuring. Yes, that was perfect. That's kind of crazy and then this is your starter tail We'll work on that. You guys ready for the unveiling. Yes, let's see how big it is Why I Think you got to stand it up so we can see oh Somebody missed the loop. That's okay. We can think we got it. We'll figure it out. Hold on. There's your 25 So I'm gonna miss the loop right here in the middle. I bet you you could just tie those yep I was gonna say bitchy just tie those together Problem solved. You won't even see it tight Yeah, try to make it so you can't see it Wow, that's really tight So I will say for a while there we only had 24 loops and I couldn't figure out where and how Now Now I see it. It's all right now. You can't see it All right, let's start from the end and I want you to hold it up. I want to see how tall it ended up Being you've got one end. This is the loop We have it sideways now. Oh no, I had a you like All right, so yeah, it ended up being do you think it's six feet tall? Oh, yeah Yeah, it's six feet tall easily. I think it's six feet both ways All right That's it that was it and done there you go chunky blanket You guys have a chunky blanket, did you make your own chunky blanket? You should let us know if you have your own chunky blanket Oh my gosh Until next week, maybe you can watch that this video or maybe this one that's in front of my face
