Meet Your Teacher
Meet Jess, a yarn obsessed mom of 4 (yes, she has triplets), wife, healthcare worker, and coffee junkie.

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!
