Learn to hand knit a blanket in this beginner friendly tutorial.The Arctic Throw is a blanket that was designed with beginners in mind. Essential knitting techniques that are included:
- cast on (co)
- knit stitch (k)
- purl stitch (p)
- bind off (bo)
- how to add a new skein of yarn
- how to weave in the ends
As this is a question I get asked a lot, the # of cast on stitches is 106 for the blanket I made in the video. For the smaller size, cast on 74 stitches. Hope this helps!
