Knitting

@@Gallant-nc1ifit's hand crocheting.

​@@leyladoesstuff21it's hand knitting. Crochet creates little stacks with foots that feel a bit knotty since it's interlocking "sticks", knitting creates a more woven fabric, less knotty. This is very classic stockinette, the frontal "v" side and garter looking back side. Crochet with this kind of thick yarn would create basically a pillow in just one layer.

Doesn't matter! I don't count mine and I've never had a problem. I just make the first chain a bit smaller than what I want the blanket to end up as, and just wing it the whole time. As you're always using a previous loop to make a new one, it doesn't matter. Or for the end, you use your new loop and an old one, and since you always have an old loop and your new one, odd or even does not matter. I'd highly recommend making these blankets!

@@mortsterwallace2788 THANK UUUU I just started crocheting and it was DIFFERENT all the tutorials so I decided to chain then start to knit then start to change colors while doing my project and that’s how I learnt how to crochet so I just make small plushies but today I’m getting my dream yarn and it’s similar to this tutorial one and I rlly want to make a blanket so this rlly helps

Sew

It could, but you'd have to pull the hook out on every loop (which will save your fingers from cramping, I just did 5 balls in 24 hours and my thumb is killing me because of the way I hold it). But don't worrying about the loops coming loose, they're easy so save if they do, as long as you pay attention. My first 2 blankets were very loose loops, and now that I've gotten the hang of it, I can keep them very tight and I can always save the loops that "fall out".

I'm no expert but I've made two of these before, I've used 5-6 skeins of yarn but it really just depends on how big you want it. There's a lot of good diagrams online showing size = skeins amounts :)

How big was ur blanket in inches? ​@@macx6215

You can burn the ends together of the new yarn and old yarn or tie them together

Overlap the start of the skein with the end by 5-6 inches and continue weaving. Do not tie it in a knot. ::edit:: uhhh, I feel like this is common knowledge but, FTLOG, please do not burn it either.

@@wvp07 why not tie or burn it?

Actually it's knitting as you don't complete each individual loop before creating a new one. Crocheting is 1 loop at a time, and you have to finish the loop before making a new one. Knitting has many open loops that you "close" at the end of each row as you make your new row of "open" loops.
