How to Hand Knit a Chunky Blanket

Last year I created a DIY Hand Knitted Scarf so this year I wanted to show you guys how to hand knit a chunky blanket! There is no pattern or needles required.

Creativity struck the other week while I was walking around my local craft store and spotted a ton of plain straw beach accessories. There was everything from clutches, beach bags and hats. I seriously had to …

This is definitely a more affordable option as faux …
