This project is ideal for anyone who loves thick knitting, xxl knitting and chunky knitting.

Materials and Supplies for Knitting with Fur Wool

To get started, you will need the following materials:

• Knitting needles or circular knitting needles: 35-50 mm. These extra-thick needles are perfect for working with fur wool and make thick knitting a lot easier.
• 3 kg of fur wool: New Zealand merino 401 was used for this guide, but you can choose other types and colours according to your preference.
• Darning needle: For concealing the threaded ends.

Optionally, you can also choose to arm-knit the blanket, a technique that requires no needles and is ideal for knitting with fur wool.

Used Stitches

• Straight: This stitch is the basis for many knitting projects and provides a nice, even knit.
• Straight: This stitch adds variety and gives your blanket a nice texture.

Work instructions for your Dress of Wick wool

Follow these simple steps to knit your own XXL blanket:

1. Setting up the stitches
   • To start with, set up 20 stitches. This will form the base of your blanket.
2. Knitting the Rows
   • Tour 1: Knit all stitches straight. This is the first row of your knitting and forms a nice, sturdy base.
   • Tour 2: Knit all stitches crooked. This tour creates the distinctive ribbing in your blanket.

   Repeat rows 1 and 2 alternately, a total of 18 times. This pattern creates a nice texture and structure in your blanket.

3. Closing the Knitting
   • At the 19th row, tie off. This means that you tie off the stitches one at a time so that your work doesn't come loose.

Finishing your XXL Blanket

After you finish knitting, it's time for the finishing touches:

• Threaded ends Removal
  • Use a darning needle or your hands to get rid of all the thread ends. This will ensure your blanket looks neat and has no loose threads.

Tips and Adjustments for Chunky Knitting

• Adjusting the dimensions
  • The size of your blanket may vary depending on the needles you use. If you want to make a bigger or smaller blanket, adjust the number of stitches. Just make sure the number of stitches is a multiple of 2.
• Alternative Knitting Methods: Arm Knitting
  • For an even more unique project, you can choose to arm-knit the blanket. This gives a slightly looser texture and is a fun technique to try out.
• Colours and types of Wool
  • Experiment with different colours and types of wool. New Zealand merino 401 is gorgeous, but there are many other types of fur wool that are just as beautiful and will give your blanket a whole new look.

Now you have all the knowledge you need to get started with your very own XXL blanket made of fur wool. Whether you like thick knitting, xxl knitting or chunky knitting, this project is perfect for you. Have fun knitting and enjoy the end result: a beautiful, warm and stylish blanket you can be proud of!
