Meet Your Teacher
Hey friend, I'm Jessica and I'm a crochet addict, healthcare professional, wife, and mom of 4 adorable kiddos. Fun fact about me, I have triplets!
Due to the above, crochet entered my life as a tremendous stress reliever. I dabbled in crochet on and off since my teen years but it got serious in 2017 when I opened my Etsy shop and began creating my own designs and making gifts for premature babies in the NICU.

Hands-on Class Project
Today's class project is a Chunky Knit Blanket
Materials:
- Yarn Bee “Eternal Bliss”: 6 Skeins in “Soft Pink” or other #7 Jumbo Bulky Yarn such as Red Heart “Irresistible”
- Scissors
- Your hands
Tips:
- Be aware of the size of your loops and try to keep them consistent throughout.
- Larger chains and loops = bigger stitches and gaps
- Work on a large surface area such as a bed, floor, or large table.
Notes:
- A finished throw will measure approximately 48 inches x 56 inches.
- To make a larger throw simply add more chains and vice versa for a smaller throw.
I’m so excited to see your finished blankets!
Please share a photo of your finished blanket or WIP (work in progress) to the project gallery!
