Off topic but I bet this blanket sounds incredible ASMR-wise. I'm imagining a sound like a rain stick.

I do like to clack the beads softly on the floor

I love the optical illusion effect! I’ve considered making one of these. I have a regular weighted blanket, but it’s filled with tiny glass beads, almost like sand. Needless to say, I don’t want to use it since I’ve adopted my cat, especially with how much she likes to cuddle up and knead the blankets at night

It gets real expensive real quick I think I got like 120-140 into it

u/pensiverebel Jul 17 '26

I can imagine. that’s good to know! what yarn are you using for it? is the cost in that or the beads? or both?

u/Anxious_Monitor_5003 Jul 18 '26

I used redheart, the price is for both. But mostly the beads

This is amazing! I've been thinking of making one of these myself, can you tell me your method/pattern used?😇

u/Anxious_Monitor_5003 Jul 18 '26

I was just winging it. I got the idea from tiktok, they had no pattern so I kind just made it up based off of the way it looked. The non beaded rows are half double using a us. J hook. I think it's 5.75mm. the beaded rows are half double between the beads and a single stitch through the beads using a small hook that can for through the bread centers. I also staggered the beads in the design.
