When I first learned how to knit, I avoided knitting blankets. They felt too big, too overwhelming. But now?! There’s something deeply comforting about knitting a chunky throw blanket. watching each row grow, feeling the weight of the fabric in your hands, and knowing that with every stitch, you’re creating warmth. A quick knit blanket project like this one is the perfect balance of relaxation and reward. 🥰

Cast On & Cozy Up!

So grab your super bulky yarn, cast on, and let your hands do the rest.

Happy knitting! 💕🧶
