Easiest Method to Knit a Chunky Blanket at Home

Not only is this easy, but it should also only cost you less than $20 to make, in less than an hour! It's a wonderful project to do on a weekend, with a friend or family member. I love making things with this thick chenille yarn. The options are endless!

The yarn is available at your local Walmart, but you can take a look at it and the color options here as well: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Chunky-Chenille-Yarn-Soft-Silver-31-7-yards/871443849 & they are now starting to sell it online on the Walmart website. Otherwise Lion Brand Chunky Chenille Yarn from Amazon is beautiful, high quality and a great deal too: https://amzn.to/2NFJVSP.
If you prefer written instructions with step-by-step photos, you can see my Instructable here: https://www.instructables.com/Easy-Chunky-Hand-Knitted-Blanket-in-One-Hour/.

For Sizing and Options:
- 30 x 50 (3 skeins of yarn) - 16 stitches
- 40 x 60 (4-5 skeins of yarn) - 20 stitches
- 50 x 60 (5-6 skeins of yarn) - 24 stitches
- 50 x 80 (7-8 skeins of yarn) - 24 stitches
The stitch size is about 2.5 inches. If this varies, or if you tighten the stitches on your first chain, then the width will be slightly different than the measurements here. If the measurement isn't to your liking after you do the first chain, then remove the chain (undo the stitches) and begin again to create the correct width.

If you have any questions, please ask as I'd love to help!

Need a Larger Blanket?

Here is a calculation you can use to determine approximately how many skeins you may need (for a medium-tight knit blanket). You can replace the 50 x 60 with whatever measurements you have:

A blanket 50x60: 50x60=3000 divide by 350 = 8.57 - 9 skeins.
