A voluminous blanket knitted with knitting needles with your own hands. Large knit plaid

Tie a plaid Not every needlewoman can handle knitting needles. The main thing is to be patient and choose the right yarn. Knitting blankets from inexpensive threads - a thankless job. After all, if you use a blanket for its intended purpose, then it will quickly lose its appearance, it can roll or shed at the very first wash. Therefore, we advise you to be very careful with the choice of thread.

It is easier for someone to knit a blanket from separate motives, tk. in this case, you can knit on the way to work, at home, at a party, on the train, anywhere. If you knit a whole blanket (and we are now talking about blankets big size), then it is problematic to carry it with you during the knitting process. But if the blanket consists of separate motives, then the thread has to be torn off, and at the end you will find painstaking work on assembling the blanket. So in both cases knitting a blanket there are pros and cons.

You have selected the right thread, decided on the knitting technique, it remains to find a suitable model. We have collected several models of blankets with knitting needles published on our website earlier, works sent by our readers and interesting options found on the Internet. We hope you can choose good knitting patterns.

When I was compiling this selection, I caught the eye of a model of blankets, knitted in a circle.

But on the other hand, it is unusual.

Unlike jacquard in intrasia, each color is knitted from its own ball and there are no broaches. The threads cross each other on the seamy side of the work. You can read more about the intarsia technique. Blankets knitted in this technique resemble patchwork or knitting from individual motifs. The loops for the next part are typed on the sides of the already knitted and the fabric is obtained without seams. But in the end you get a one-piece knitted blanket with knitting needles.

Choosing the right thick yarn for hand knitting

For industrial or independent knitting of a large knit blanket, it is customary to use some types of thick yarn. The most common variety is unprocessed merino wool, otherwise called unspinned.

These types of wool include tops or, in other words, a combed ribbon. This type of wool is the direct raw material for various woolen products. It is presented on the market in the form of a ribbon of many wool fibers, the width of which reaches about five centimeters. Quite often, the combed ribbon is sold as thick yarn. Considering its technical parameters, very attractive volumetric things can be made from tops both with knitting needles and crochet: garments, home interior or accessories.

Tops advantages:

  • a combed ribbon can be perfectly used for knitting not only with the use of tools, but also simply on the hands;
  • products from a combed ribbon of high quality wool have softness and airiness;
  • untreated wool gives the finished garment a special chic.

Disadvantages of combed tape:

  • the tops are not finished yarn, which means there is a risk of tearing it during work;
  • untreated wool tends to break down into fibers, deform, in particular, stretch during knitting, fluff and cough;
  • products made of combed tape, due to its listed properties, cannot be washed in order to prevent deterioration; difficulties may also arise in the case of processing them in dry cleaning.


Spinned and processed thick yarn has significant differences from tops. This option is already the final complete product for needlework, the thickness of which can vary from half a centimeter to two centimeters. The main distinctive feature spun wool is the twisting of its fibers, their impeccable dumping in a thread, which is obtained in the process of mechanical and thermal processing of yarn specially used for this purpose.

Advantages of Spun Wool:

  • wet heat treatment of this type of thick yarn guarantees the constancy of the shape of the future product;
  • the spun thread does not break, does not split into fibers, does not fluff up during knitting and subsequent use of the product from it;
  • not oversized spun wool items can be hand wash at low water temperatures.

Cons of Spun Wool:

  • a small degree of dumping in the process of using a product from it;
  • for large-sized items made of this type of yarn, which, in particular, include large knitted blankets, professional dry-cleaning is recommended.

Calculation of yarn for knitting a large knit plaid

An equally important problem after determining the type of yarn for knitting a bulky blanket is to correctly calculate the amount of wool required for this work.


In order not to be mistaken when purchasing material for needlework, experienced craftswomen recommend doing the following:

  • purchase one skein of yarn chosen for knitting;
  • make from this yarn with the knitting needles that they plan to knit, a piece of the product measuring 7x5 centimeters;
  • wash and dry the bound fragment;
  • in the dried state, measure the knitting density - the number of rows and loops obtained in each row;
  • dissolve the sample and measure the length of the thread used for it.

Thus, the yardage of yarn required for knitting the conceived product will be clearly determined, according to the proportion below:

total area of ​​the plaid in square centimeters x length of the knitted pattern

sample area in square centimeters

How to knit a large knitted blanket with your own hands

Thick yarn blankets can be knitted in two techniques: with knitting needles or with tools identical to them and directly by hand.

On the needles

To knit this type of product using knitting needles, the needlewoman should stock up on the following materials and devices:

  • bulky thick yarn intended for hand knitting;
  • very large knitting needles, which are sold by specialized stores for needlework, or tools made independently from plastic tubes, the diameter of which is two to three centimeters.

In the overwhelming majority of cases, bulky blankets are knitted with a standard face stitch... In this case, giant knitting needles, bought or independently adapted from available tools, perform the same actions that are used to knit an ordinary fabric with the front satin stitch.

Knitting by hand

However, you can knit a large-knit blanket with your own hands not only the traditional way knitting, but from without knitting needles or crochet. In this case, the work is done on the wrists of the needlewoman.

For this type of knitting, three meters are measured from the edge of the skein of yarn and a dead loop of the product is formed on the wrist of the right hand. It is put on the hand and tightened a little. The rest of the yarn must be thrown onto the left wrist from the bottom up, with the same hand, grab the remaining working thread and draw out the formed loop.

Adhering to this work algorithm, they continue to recruit the required number of loops.

To complete the first row of the product, the working thread is placed on the thumb of the right hand and squeezed into a fist. The loop that turns out to be extreme on the wrist is pulled off from it. As a result, a new loop appears in the fist. She is thrown to left hand... Following this description, the entire row is performed.

The next row is knitted like the previous one, only in a mirror image.

Finishing knitting of a large-knit merino wool blanket, leave a few meters of yarn. The first two loops in turn are knitted in the same way as in the description already given. The third loop is removed from the wrist, and the next is left on the arm. After knitting the next loop, remove the loop that precedes it from the hand. The rest of the thread is threaded into the last loop in the row and tightened.

Features of caring for a thick yarn blanket

Taking into account what kind of wool was chosen for knitting a bulky blanket, there are different ways of caring for such a product:

  • If the blanket is lightly soiled, dry brushing is sufficient.
  • It is recommended to wash products of this type in water with a temperature of no higher than 30 degrees.
  • Use a designated liquid product containing lanolin during the wash process.
  • During washing, avoid friction and twisting of the cloth. The blanket is lightly wrung out to remove excess water.
  • Dry the product in a horizontal position, laying it on a flat surface.
  • In some cases, they resort to dry cleaning services.


Do-it-yourself and subject proper care a large knitted blanket made of merino wool will serve the owner for a long time and will undoubtedly decorate the interior of a bedroom or living room.

Love decorating your home original things? Looking for any opportunity to craft something interesting? We offer you the idea of ​​making a knitted blanket with your own hands - it will add mood and zest to your interior, warm it up with its warmth on a cool evening.

Knitted blanket- one of the trends recent years... And not surprising. The possibilities of using a stylish thing are great: a blanket is used as a bedspread and a blanket (which is especially important in the off-season), it can become a temporary cover for furniture, warm and soft rug on the floor, create a cozy and inviting atmosphere in the house, you can wrap yourself up in it, sitting in front of the TV with a cup of hot coffee ...

There are also many options for making a knitted blanket - here you can give free rein to your imagination. Thicker or thinner, small or large, classic or playful, square or oval, chunky or fine knit, with intricate relief patterns or without them - the choice is not limited.

You can knit a blanket most in different ways... Not only with the knitting needles and crochet we are used to, but even with our hands. Are you surprised? Meanwhile, the latter option is gaining more and more popularity today, and it is not at all difficult to implement it. But first things first.

Plaid knitting and crocheting

You can knit a lot with both knitting needles and crochet.

The hook gives more possibilities for creativity: it can be used for a wide variety of patterns and variations. With the help of a hook, it is easier to switch from motive to motive when it comes to a large one-piece blanket (not tied in fragments).

Knitting needles in plaid can be used both circular and ordinary (pair). In the latter case, the plaid will consist of several squares that are sewn together. Their pattern and color may not match - then a patchwork-style product comes out.

The simplest knit is the shawl. However, it is not worth using only this - the edges of the blanket will be bent. It is convenient to knit a blanket with a Canadian elastic band: the loops are easy to count, and if you get lost in the count, you can see it right away. Knitting with an elastic band is elastic and resistant to wear (it is she who knits cuffs and the bottom of sweaters, etc.). It will not be difficult for advanced knitters to knit a plaid with braids and other embossed patterns. Of course, it is worth mentioning that they will need more yarn than simple knitted blankets - but what a result! It is preferable to use a knit that looks good on both sides, because the wrong side of the blanket will be visible.

If you are still a beginner in knitting and are afraid not to guess the width of the future blanket, first make a small test sample. Cast on twenty loops and knit several rows along with fragments of the pattern (if one is planned), then measure the number of resulting centimeters of the sample in width and calculate how many loops you need to dial to get a blanket of the right size.

Standard size blanket - 1.5 x 2 m. For reference, this blanket is suitable for a single bed. A smaller blanket (1.3 x 1.7 m) will cover the chair well. On average, the manufacture of a product will require about 1.5-2 kg of yarn (depending on the type of yarn, patterns and size of the blanket). In any case, it is better to buy yarn with a margin, since there is always a risk of making a mistake in the calculations. And the remaining balls will always be used!

As for the composition of the yarn, it is better to focus on the "breathing" options - those from which your skin will not have to sweat, namely, containing natural ingredients, for example, cotton, wool. Blankets made of yarn with wool will warm you in the cold winter. Cotton models are lightweight, soft, do not irritate the skin, and are breathable - ideal for summer. By the way, cotton yarn is great for crocheting. For beginner knitters, mohair can be a real salvation: fluffy thread helps to hide traces of irregularities and mistakes in knitting. You can stop at a mixture of angora and acrylic. If you want to give your interior a special flavor, choose an option from ““. Such blankets are not only very original, but also soft and pleasant to the touch.

Plaid hands

Hands usually knit (or "weave") a blanket of super-thick yarn. However, you can do without knitting needles and a hook when you create a blanket from ordinary yarn with your own hands - then the product turns out to be openwork, very openwork!

Blankets made of extraordinarily thick natural wool yarn , mainly merino, conquer more and more hearts of needlewomen (and not only) with their interesting, catchy look. Having seen such a blanket for the first time, one might think that this is a designer thing inaccessible to independent execution. In fact, knitting a blanket from thick yarn is not difficult. You can use special giant knitting needles, or you can weave it with your hands. Most often, a thick blanket is knitted with a simple viscous, without patterns. The knitting technique on the hands is no different from the usual one: the basic loops are first thrown over one hand, then transferred to the other, which serves as an incoming knitting needle.

You can learn how to knit a blanket with your hands from the video.

When using hands instead of knitting needles, knitting turns into a kind of game: you must admit, it's fun to put loops on your hands! Well, if you connect a child to an unusual activity, the blanket will turn out to be doubly "warmer".

On average, it takes about 3 kg of yarn to make a blanket from thick yarn. For a product about a meter wide, 15 loops are recruited (there are enough hands for them). In time, if it takes about 5 days to knit a blanket from ordinary yarn, then it takes only 1.5 hours to weave a blanket from thick yarn with your hands. And that's just for beginners! Needlewomen, advanced in this matter, spend less than an hour on the process.

Baby blanket

To create with your own hands baby blanket you should be especially careful when choosing a yarn. First of all, it must be hypoallergenic. This means that if you do not know for certain whether your baby is allergic to wool, then it is better to refuse this component in the yarn. In addition, the wool pricks - it also does not the best way for a child, especially a very small one. For a lightweight blanket, it is better to choose cotton yarn. Too fluffy yarn should be discarded, as particles of lint and fluff may end up on the child's body and face.

Soft knitted blankets made of merino wool are produced in America and Australia. Muscovite Anna Avdeeva decided to establish their production in Russia, despite the fact that large quantities of the required breed of sheep for such wool are not bred in Russia. Thanks to the ability to find a good supplier, she was able to offer a lower price than its competitors for finished products.

26 years old, founder of a company that produces hand-knitted blankets from merino wool. Graduated from the State University of Management. After university she worked in government organizations, where she was engaged in procurement. Prior to founding Woolie, she had little business experience.


Business inspired by new living room

Woolie merino wool knitted blankets appeared thanks to the move of Anna Avdeeva's family to a new house. After the completion of the construction, Anna started decorating the rooms, and when she was working on the living room, she realized that some unique detail was missing. And Anna remembered the large knitted blankets made of merino wool, the photos of which she saw several years ago in social networks. “They sunk into my soul. But the price of such blankets was too high and amounted to several thousand dollars. It was beyond my means to afford such a purchase, ”admits Anna Avdeeva.

And then she and her husband thought that for the living room, in order to save money, you can knit a blanket with your own hands. However, it turned out that finding good quality wool is a real problem. Therefore, I had to knit from rolled up fabric. “It turned out, to put it mildly, so-so,” Anna honestly says.

I didn't want to decorate the living room with such a blanket. And Anna began to search European blogs for information about where to buy merino wool. So there was information about a workshop in Europe, in which the girl ordered wool. After a series of experiments, she managed to knit a blanket, which seemed to her and her husband very cute.


Then, at the end of 2015, the idea arose that other people would want such beautiful products in their homes. And Anna decided to start producing blankets by opening the Woolie company.

The project was launched with credit funds

It took several months to find a supplier of merino wool. Anna Avdeeva proceeded from the fact that her rugs should not be too expensive. “Our key idea was that such beautiful blankets should be available to everyone. The price of several thousand dollars was contrary to our worldview, ”she recalls.

But finding a supplier of wool of the required quality at an adequate price was not easy. Merino wool is an extremely expensive material. In addition, it must be properly processed and prepared. And here Anna's many years of experience in procurement came in handy. She had to talk to many Russian factories, as well as distributors and foreign suppliers. We managed to form a pool of suppliers who could provide the appropriate quality.


The main supplier is a Russian factory specializing in wool processing. The wool is supplied to the factory both from Russia and from Australia. But right away I had to agree on large volumes of purchases so that the cost of wool was lower than in retail sale. This made it possible to ensure an affordable cost finished product... To store the wool, I immediately had to rent an office with a small warehouse.

Initial investments in the Woolie project amounted to about 1.5 million rubles; a substantial part of these funds was borrowed.

After the purchase of wool, the time for experiments began - how to properly prepare it, what knitting to use, what tools to use, what colors and sizes to choose. About 50 kilograms of expensive wool was spent on trial and error. Now Anna Avdeeva does not reveal the professional secrets that she came to empirically: for example, she refuses to talk about the method of processing wool.

With your own hands

When the young company decided on the technological issues, they began to knit blankets. At first, Anna, her mother and sister were doing this. The founder of the company did not want to hire outsiders until she was 100% sure that she could take responsibility for them. Later, when orders increased, several people were hired. All Woolie blankets are completely handmade.


Friends and their acquaintances became the first clients. They shared in social networks information about the launch of the Woolie project, posted nice pictures... These posts became the first advertisement.

When looking at photographs of Woolie rugs, many people have one reaction: admiration and a desire to get the same thing for themselves. “There have not been such things in Russia yet, so our products are of interest. Many questions are asked. People want to know where we get our wool, how we knit, how much time we spend on making one blanket, ”notes Anna Avdeeva.


When Anna realized that customers liked the products, she began to invest in marketing. The main problem was finding the target audience and optimal marketing platforms. Since the product is new and non-standard, I had to learn everything in practice. We invested little by little in different channels: social network, contextual and media advertising, PR, referral marketing (word of mouth).

Anna's husband, who has experience in this field, helps with marketing and promotion. It was easy enough to negotiate cooperation with popular bloggers. This is because they, like most people who saw Woolie throws, wanted to get one for themselves.

Competitors are far away, but they are

At the stage of launching the project, Anna found out that her competitors are one company from America and one from Australia. At the same time, a girl from Ukraine was raising money through crowdfunding to launch a project similar to Woolie - to make large knitted blankets and snoods from merino wool. The fact that the fundraising was very successful gave an additional incentive to Anna.

To distinguish herself from the competition, the girl decided to use a wide range of colors. So that everyone can pick up a blanket to their liking and make bright colors into the interior of your home. However, the most favorite color among her customers is still white.


One of the main competitive advantages of Woolie blankets is their cost. “We tried to make the prices for products as affordable as possible for everyone, including through the purchase prices for wool. At the same time, our quality is in no way inferior to competitors. Based on our pricing, we have consciously accepted the risk of low margins. This does not allow us to cooperate with most retail decor stores - we cannot offer them big discounts, ”says Anna Avdeeva.

The smallest Woolie blanket costs 4,900 rubles, the largest - 13,900 rubles. At the same time, competitors' prices are not in rubles, but in dollars or pounds. And it is five to ten times higher than Woolie's.

The owner of the company explains the low cost by the fact that she tries not to inflate costs, but to spend only on the most necessary things. “We deliberately refused to distribute through chain stores that require at least 20-30% commission. Well, usually the key parameter of pricing is the coefficient of greed. We have it moderate. "

Buy a blanket - only through the website

Woolie blankets are made of this soft wool that you want to touch them all the time. And chunky knitting creates a feeling of coziness and comfort. You want to wrap yourself up in such a blanket right away, armed with a book and a cup of coffee or cocoa. Plaids are good decoration interior. And most often they are bought precisely to create an atmosphere of comfort.

But there are also original ways use of blankets. For example, sometimes customers make unusual orders - they ask to knit covers for floor lamps, make upholstery for a car, a carpet, a pet house, etc. The company undertakes such orders, but with caution. It should be understood that before making a new product, you will have to spend a lot of time and resources on experiments. Therefore, possible risks are included in the cost of the original thing.

Usually customers buy one or two blankets. But there was a customer who ordered four blankets. And a week later, the same amount. Anna Avdeeva decided that this amount was taken for further resale. Therefore, the owner of the company delivered the second batch to the customer personally in order to get acquainted with a potential partner. It turned out that he took all the blankets for himself - he liked the products so much that the client covered all the furniture in the house with them.


Woolie is currently only available for online purchases. On the site, the client chooses the size of the blanket, its color, leaves his name and phone number. Then the operator contacts him and agrees on the day and place of delivery. Third-party courier companies are used for delivery.

Buyers from Moscow, as a rule, receive blankets the next day or the day after ordering; if necessary, the product can be delivered to them within two to three hours. Regional buyers have to wait a little longer.

Woolie had a client who specially flew to Moscow for a blanket from Belarus. The company did not ship to that country at the time. But his wife was so fired up with the idea of ​​buying an unusual blanket that she sent her husband to Moscow to fetch him.

Now Woolie blankets are packed in craft boxes tied with decorative twine. Before settling on this format, we tried different types boxes, bags and other packaging. For craft boxes, it took a long time to look for a supplier who would offer a typical solution.


After the packaging that was optimal for Anna Avdeeva appeared, there were unexpected difficulties with logistics. Since Woolie is a fairly voluminous blanket, it is packed in a fairly large box. And it takes a lot of storage space to store it. Therefore, the logistics companies that carried out the delivery rated their services 3-5 times higher than for the delivery of small goods. “We inevitably had to monitor all delivery services in search of the best rate. Now we use different contractors for the regions, ”says Anna.

The Woolie company has existed for only five months - since January 2016. And already for this short term managed to reach an operational payback. True, in the near future Anna Avdeeva plans to invest more significantly in marketing and distribution, which means that costs may temporarily exceed revenues again.

But the entrepreneur sees this as a way for further development. On the eve of summer, she fears that the demand for Woolie blankets will fall. Still, for many, this thing is associated with warmth and with the fact that it is necessary exclusively in the cold season. The company is now trying to convey the message in social networks that Woolie is, first of all, an interior decoration, with the help of which coziness is created in the house. And an indispensable thing for summer evenings - on the street and outside the city with Woolie blankets, the coolness is not terrible.

Now we manage to sell several hundred blankets a month. To increase the volume of sales, the company is working on areas of offline sales in shopping centers Moscow, as well as sales abroad. “There is a lot of work, as well as ideas,” sums up Anna Avdeeva.

« Hello November!
At the end of November, everyone begins to warm themselves, winter is already actively declaring itself. Who doesn't love cozy nights by the fire, walks in a frosty park, when a cozy warm blanket is wrapped around your shoulders ?!

I have long dreamed of a voluminous blanket, inspired by interesting interiors on Pinterest filled with knitted knitwear, and therefore decided to create my own.

I was pleasantly surprised how quickly and easily it can be done, and the result is amazing. If you want to repeat my experience, then this master class is for you!

This is an amazing yarn bought on Etsy from Wool Couture in soft gray... It took me two skeins. I planned to knit a blanket about 25 x 50 inches (63 x 127 cm). This is a merino wool, which, unlike any other, is not prickly. I have never tried hand knitting before. If you want to try it with me, follow every step!

I tied a noose and put it on my right hand.

  1. We place the knot on the back of the hand, throw the thread over the front of the palm.
  2. I put my left hand in a loop under the wrist, yarn from a skein - on right side left wrist.
  3. You need to take the yarn and pull it through the loop on your left hand, allowing the loop itself to slide off your right hand.

I repeated steps 1 through 4 until I had 16 stitches on my right hand.

First row

  1. To knit the first row, I wrapped the yarn around thumb right hand and held the thread in a fist.
  2. The next loop is knitted as in picture No. 3.
  3. Thus, the entire row is knitted.

I continued to knit, repeating the steps above for each row.

How to close knitting

1. To finish, I took the thread in the same fist as all the loops (on the right).

2. 1st loop is knitted in the same way as in the previous rows.

3. The second loop is the same as in the previous rows.

4/5. Then you need to skip the first loop over the second loop and let it slide off the left hand, leaving one loop on it.

Then I repeated steps 3 to 5 until there was one loop on my right hand. now you need to pull the thread through this loop and tighten it! Everything!

Advice: Leave the yarn to spare before closing the knit to avoid over-tensioning.

Hands should get used to this unusual knitting a little. I knitted my blanket very quickly, within an hour. It turned out to be 40 "x 40" (101 x 101 cm), which is slightly larger than planned. "
