Repeat Rows 44/48 - 81/89 for second front panel.Join me as I share this DIY Chunky Knit Blanket Tutorial. Both front panels will have 5/6/5/6/7/7 unworked loops between them. We will now go back up to the remaining unworked Row 44. Leave last loop unworked (we will use it later for seaming). For sizes L/XL/2XL/3XL, work up four additional rows before moving to next step. Note: Keep right side toward you at all times. Starting at the beginning of the skein, count 36/37/38/39/40/40 loops. Practice the different stitch techniques for this yarn by following along with these great video tutorials hosted by JOANN Stores. We are using primarily stockinette stitch for the entirety of the cardigan with occasional purl rows to add texture and interest. This allowed me to keep a better eye on the design. I worked left to right then right to left, with the right side facing me at all times. Want to snag a printer-friendly and beautifully templated version of this pattern?!

The yarn is the softest and squishiest material and with the oversize design, you will NEVER take the thing off. So, after a lot of playing around, I am so excited to introduce you to my new Namaste At Home Cardigan which is about to be your newest best friend. Such a fun finger dexterity and mindless and relaxing craft!! Even if stitches slip, it is extremely easy to recreate it and move on. I am able to work a few stitches or rows, set it down and know that I don’t have to worry about slipped stitches. However, with the make up of this yarn being very similar to Bernat Blanket yarn, the material does not slip easily, unless pulled. I’m still a novice and when a stitch drops, I basically give up. I mean, that’s the number one thing that I find most frustrating when I knit. Such a relaxing project!!Īt first, I was worried that, like knitting, the loops would fall through and completely ruin the work you had already done. I literally sat and just finger knitted for three hours at the coffeehouse the other day and completely lost track of time. I can’t even tell you how fun this stuff is. It was a bit slow to start, but once I found a groove, OH MY GOSH. When I finally had a moment to sit down and play with this stuff, my fingers fumbled a bit and it was hard to coordinate the stitches because these were all new movements.
