Chunky Textured Knit Blanket

Chunky Textured Knit Blanket Pattern

Materials

• Super bulky yarn (size 6) in cream with metallic strands - approximately 1000 yards
• US size 50 (25 mm) circular knitting needles, 40-inch length
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle

Gauge

4 stitches x 5 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Abbreviations

• CO: Cast On
• K: Knit
• P: Purl
• BO: Bind Off

Instructions

1. Cast On: CO 32 stitches using the long-tail cast on method.
2. Set Pattern:
• Row 1: *Knit 2, Purl 2*; repeat from * to * across the row.
• Row 2: *Purl 2, Knit 2*; repeat from * to * across the row.
3. Continue this ribbing pattern (Rows 1 and 2) until the piece measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. Ensure the texture remains consistent and no stitches are dropped, as this will maintain the structure of the blanket.
4. Bind Off: BO in pattern. That is, knit the knit stitches and purl the purl stitches as you bind off to maintain the edge consistency.
5. Weave in all ends securely using the tapestry needle. Ensure the metallic strands are not sticking out, as they might catch on things.
6. Optional: Block the blanket gently to even out stitches and enhance the texture.
