The stitches glide easily on and off the needles and there is no snagging, which in my experience can happen with some of the handmade needles. But, once you have a couple inches of knitting on the needles it’s easy to get used to having plenty of room for all of the stitches! Once you have made it down the blanket, pull the working yarn through the last loops and pull to tighten it up, cut a 6-8″ tail for the yarn to weave into the blanket.
I created a blog post series to encourage new or hesitant knitters who want to challenge themselves to knit a blanket. Whether you're making garments, accessories, or homewares, using delicate yarn or chunky, Addi's circular needle sets put the ease back into your knitting.

The very last step is to turn your chunky knit blanket over and make sure all the spots where you joined the yarn is knotted tightly.Otherwise, cast on 30 stitches approx and knit in the same stitch pattern as your blanket until you have roughly knit a square.

These are just props and not the actual size but we have already started teaching our next generation knitters. You would use slightly smaller needles, 4mm or size 6 US approx, for knitting a blanket with DK yarn. Holding that one loop in your left hand, grab another loop from the blanket and pass it to your left hand. Lighter blankets and baby shawls knit with 4 ply or fingering weight yarn need 3 – 4mm needles, most often size 3.
