Consider using size 19 US or 15. 0 mm needles and super chunky yarn to create a large blanket that comes together quickly. [1] X Research source
You’ll know you’ve correctly made a slip knot if you can can simply continue pulling the loop and it comes apart.
Continue grasping the yarn in your palm with your fingertips, this will keep it out of the way and create tension so that you can quickly cast on.
You should insert it under the stitch so that the needle goes from front to back and forms an “X”.
You should keep the working yarn between the needles while you do this.
Try to work near the end of the needles so that the stitches don’t become tight on the middle of the needles. But, make sure that they’re not so close to the ends of the needles that the stitches fall off.
Make sure you knit into the stitches that are looped onto the left needle, not the stitches of the row you just completed.
Casting off or binding off will work the square off of the needles. This means you’ll be able to take it off the needles without worrying that it will come undone. You’ll be able to sew this square to another completed square when you assemble the blanket.
You should have a completely empty needle and only one stitch still on the other needle.
You’ll still have extra yarn tailing from the end of your square after you’ve tied it off. You’ll use this to sew the squares together.
Consider laying out your squares on a large surface so you can arrange them, especially if you used different colored yarn. Alternate the squares so that the rows are vertical next to a square where the rows are turned horizontal.
For example, if the square with the sewing tail has rows arranged horizontally, the square you’re sewing it to should be arranged vertically.
Continue doing this till you reach the end of the squares. The two squares should be completely sewn together now.
Weaving in the end can prevent a loose end from unraveling and can make your knitting look more polished.
Consider adding beads and other decorative objects to your knitting. You could also just sew on the beads afterwards. Also consider adding knit flowers, leaves, or decorative edging.
