Now that you’ve gotten rid of the stains on your weighted blanket, it’s time to give it a wash. Investing in a removable duvet cover for your weighted blanket will make it easy to wash the cover frequently without dealing with the hefty blanket. This tutorial is showing you the basic hand knitting technic. I chose to stick with “no pattern” this time because I think the mustard yellow speaks for itself, and I was a beginner at hand knitting. Chenille yarn looks as chunky as its wool friend, and if I can say, they feel softer and cozier. I worked before with this material and made a cute patterned pom pom rug.
If you only use it occasionally as a lap blanket on the couch or at a desk, cleaning your weighted blanket three to four times per year should suffice. Our weighted blankets are also 100% hand-knitted, environmentally friendly, and safe.

If you need to hand wash your blanket, fill your washtub basin with tepid or cold water and a small amount of mild detergent. Typically, 1/2 to 1 cup is sufficient, but this still varies depending on the size of your blanket.

For this blanket design, you will want to start with 105 chains to get the blanket size of 52″ x 60″ (132 x 153 cm).

In the note section below, you’ll find information about how to change the blanket size to what you’d like to make. I listed the easy stitches out below, and most have a tutorial along with them. Which means if you are a beginner crocheter, you’ll be able to get the hang of these stitches before you begin this blanket. Continue knitting back and forth until you either want to add more of the same colour of yarn, or start a new row in a new colour. Purchase enough skeins of the chunky yarn to create the blanket size you want.
