How to knit wool blankets step by step
Knitting a wool blanket can be a costly project in terms of time investment and handling, but it doesn’t have to be complex, depending on the pattern you use. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you create your own wool blanket:
Choose your materials: To knit a blanket, you will need balls of wool in the thickness and color of your choice. Also make sure you have the right size knitting needles for the wool you are using.
Calculate the size of the blanket: Decide the desired size of your blanket. You can make it for a specific bed, such as a single, double or queen, or just to curl up on the couch. Take your measurements and decide how many stitches you will need to achieve the desired width.
Assemble the stitches: Start by mounting the number of stitches needed to reach the desired width of the blanket. You can use the assembly method of your choice, such as chain assembly or loop assembly.
Choose your pattern: Decide which fabric pattern you want to use for your blanket. You can opt for something simple, such as the right stitch or crochet single crochet, or choose a more complex pattern if you’re feeling more adventurous. Make sure you have clear and understood instructions before you begin.
Knit in the chosen pattern: Once you have assembled the stitches and are familiar with the knitting pattern, start knitting in rows. Follow the pattern and remember to count your stitches to make sure you keep the pattern correctly.
Continue knitting: Knit row after row, following the selected pattern, until you reach the desired length for your blanket. You can measure progress as you go along.
Topping and Finishing: Once you have reached the desired length of your blanket, finish off the stitches following the instructions of your pattern. Be sure to leave enough yarn to join the ends and finish off any loose strands.
Block your blanket: If you want your blanket to have a more polished and uniform appearance, consider blocking it. This involves washing it gently and stretching it so that the stitches settle and align.
And that’s it! Now you will have a self-made wool blanket.

Wool care - blanket
Caring for a handmade wool blanket is important to keep it in good condition and prolong its durability. Here are some tips on how to properly care for your wool blanket:
Cleaning: Be sure to follow the specific care instructions provided with the wool you used to weave the blanket. Some wools can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, while others, like ours, require hand washing. Use a mild detergent, neutral soap and warm water to wash the blanket.
DryingIt is important to properly dry your wool blanket to avoid shrinkage or deformation. Spread it on a flat surface and let it air dry. Avoid hanging it, as this could stretch it. Also, avoid direct sun exposure, as intense sunlight can fade colors.
Storage: When not in use, store the blanket in a clean, dry place to avoid dust and moisture accumulation. You can fold it carefully and place it in a storage bag or drawer.
Moth protection: Moths are a common concern when dealing with wool. To protect your blanket from moth damage, you can use natural moth repellents, such as lavender or cedar sachets, or even store it in an airtight bag. You can try our anti-moth perfume.
Avoid contact with sharp or rough objects: To avoid snagging or damaging your blanket, be careful when using it near sharp or rough objects, such as jewelry, zippers or rough surfaces.
Repairs: If you notice any loose yarn or a small opening in your blanket, repair it immediately. You can use wool thread of the same color to sew it carefully. In this way, you will prevent the problem from getting worse.
By following these tips, you will be able to keep your handmade wool blanket in good condition for a long time and enjoy its warmth and beauty. Enjoy your hand-knitted blanket and take loving care of it!
