Materials

• Super bulky yarn (approximately 400 yards of soft white yarn)
• Size 15 (10 mm) circular knitting needles
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle

Gauge

10 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in garter stitch. However, gauge is not critical for this project.

Abbreviations

• CO: Cast On
• K: Knit
• P: Purl
• St(s): Stitch(es)
• BO: Bind Off

Instructions

1. Cast On: CO 30 stitches using the long-tail cast on method.
2. Row 1: Knit each stitch (you will have a total of 30 stitches).
   • Repeat this row until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length or your desired length.
3. Bind Off: Once you reach your desired length, BO all stitches loosely to ensure the edge is stretchy.
4. Finishing: Cut the yarn, leaving a 12-inch tail. Use the tapestry needle to weave in all ends neatly along the edge of the blanket.
5. Blocking: Lightly steam block the blanket to shape it if necessary, being careful not to saturate the yarn.
