Welcome to The Blue Mouse Knits' beginner-friendly knitting tutorial! In this video, I'll guide you through creating a cozy blanket that's perfect for snuggling up on chilly evenings. Using super bulky yarn, this project knits up quickly, making it ideal for those just learning or new to knitting.
With 6 available sizes, you can customize your blanket to suit your needs, whether you're making a throw for the couch or a baby blanket for a loved one. We'll start with the simple garter stitch, perfect for beginners, and gradually introduce new techniques to help you develop your knitting skills as you go. Follow along as I walk you through each step, from casting on to binding off, and everything in between. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a beautiful handmade blanket to cherish for years to come.
