The Bernat Blanket yarn is super-soft and cuddly, so anyone who receives one is sure to treasure it.  Knit entirely in garter stitch, this knit blanket pattern is perfect for beginner knitters who are ready to cast on their first big project.

    I’m a beginner knitter and have only made small projects so far. This looks like a nice, simple pattern to attempt for my first larger project. I love the yard color shown but I might go for something a bit brighter to make a statement in my living room. I can’t wait to start!

    Is this boring or will it look not boring? Any other ideas for the knit project?

      It will only look boring if you feel it is boring, stripes of different colours would look great, lets be postive.

      No one else seems to be having a problem, does it occur to you that the issue may be you and not the web site?

    Looks so plush and thick. I love the color. A great beginners pattern for a great cause.

    Anyone who is homeless or cold would love this thick blanket.

    Can #19 straight needles be used in this project?

    Since the instructions say not to join stitches, why can’t straight needles be used?

    I finished a super simple Baby afghan for my Grandson a few months ago. I find that when I am in the middle of a project, my wanting snacks and other sweets is cut way back and the two go together. Feel hungry knit.

    Straight needles are great for smaller projects, but an afghan is better on the circular because the thread does not come off as easily as it does with straight needles.
