5 Reasons You’ll Love Making Your Own Chunky Blanket at Pinot’s Palette
1. No knitting experience required
One of the best parts: you don’t need to know how to knit. The workshop is designed so that you can hand-knit the blanket (yes — using your hands - no needles involved in this class!) — and everything is guided step by step.
That makes this perfect even if you’ve never picked up yarn before. You get to try something new in a friendly, supportive environment.
2. The result is a beautiful, cozy blanket you made yourself
By the end of the class you’ll walk out with a warm, soft chunky-knit throw — approximately 40×50″ in size
There’s something deeply satisfying about creating an item you’ll use and love — especially one this tactile and comforting. Snugging up in that blanket will feel even better knowing you made it.
3. All the supplies + color choices are handled
Pinot’s Palette takes care of the materials: you’ll be given the chunky chenille or “jumbo” size yarn and instruction and guidance.
Also — you’ll get to choose your colors when you arrive.
That means you get a personalized blanket without the hassle of sourcing everything yourself.
4. A fun, social, creative outing
This workshop isn’t just about making a blanket — it’s an experience. You go to the studio, you create, you have fun. The setting at Pinot’s Palette is geared toward “Create. Drink. Have Fun.” and encouraging social, relaxed vibes.
Whether you go solo to meet new people, bring a friend for a creative date night, or make it part of a gathering — it’s a great way to blend crafting with community and laughter.
5. It’s a meaningful, tactile gift (or treat )
Finally — making your own chunky blanket means you’re not just buying a ready-made one. You’re giving yourself (or someone else) something handmade, full of character and love. One customer said, “These chunky blankets also make great gifts. I think everyone could use a chunky, hand-knit blanket in their life!”
So whether you’re treating yourself, or making a special, personal gift for someone else — this workshop has purpose beyond the class itself.
Bonus tips before you go:
Show up early so you get the best color choice. Wear comfortable clothes (you’ll be working with yarn, maybe leaning and looping a lot) and maybe bring a cozy attitude — the class can be pretty relaxed and fun.
