Easy decorating is my favorite. Of course, I love seasonal decor like pumpkins and Christmas trees. But I really love any “hard-working” decor that can be kept out for even longer than each individual holiday lasts. Which is partly why I love all the chunky knit blankets that are popping up everywhere these days.

You’re so much closer to a beautifully-decorated home than you think. You just need a little help to get there!

Chunky Knit Blankets Add Loads of Texture to Your Space

Most of the blankets out now are available in several colors. But the neutral ones are my favorite. Go figure. 😉

Awhile ago, I wrote a whole blog post about how to decorate with neutrals without being boring. The gist of that post was that you need to use at least a few textures when decorating with neutrals. And chunky knit blankets add the best kind of visual and physical texture with their enormous plush designs. Especially, when they’re in my favorite creamy neutrals.

Make Your Own Blanket or Buy One?

Initially, the chunky knit blanket thing was solely a DIY adventure. You had to buy the chunky yarn and huge knitting needles (or use your arms as needles) online at specialty shops. Then local craft stores got on board with the trend and started carrying heavier and heavier weights of yarn and the thick knitting needles needed to make the blankets. And of course, all kinds of places, like etsy, began to carry finished blankets online too.

When I first started to look for a blanket of my own a few years ago, the prices were still very prohibitive. To the tune of several hundred dollars for full-size, handmade versions. Now, more and more blankets are being made, and manufacturers are figuring out how to make them for less. Or at the very least, to make them in throw blanket sizes to reduce the cost, since most people wanted that size anyway.

The first chunky knit blanket I had, was one that I made. I ordered a kit online and used my arms to make it, rather than knitting needles. It took an afternoon on the floor watching holiday movies and got fuzz everywhere. But I loved it anyway!

The other two that I have, were ready-made ones from stores. And I adore them too.

Really the choice of whether to make one or buy one comes down to personal preference.

Most chunky knit blankets won’t hold up well in the washing machine and dryer. So, if yours needs cleaning, try the dry cleaner instead.
