Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in deep jewel tones (emerald, sapphire, amethyst, ruby)
• Needles: US Size 15 (10mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 6 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by using the long-tail cast-on method to cast on 60 stitches onto your knitting needle. Ensure that your stitches are not too tight, as this will make it difficult to knit the first row.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all 60 stitches. This will create the first row of your blanket.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all 60 stitches. This will create the second row and start the stockinette stitch pattern.
4. Continue Knitting: Repeat the process of knitting one row and purling the next row. This is known as stockinette stitch. Continue this pattern until your blanket measures 36 inches from the cast-on edge. Make sure to measure from the bottom of the cast-on edge to ensure accuracy.
5. Color Changes: Every 6 inches, switch colors. Start with emerald, then switch to sapphire, followed by amethyst, and finally ruby. To change colors, simply knit the last stitch of the previous color, drop that yarn, and begin knitting with the new color. Be sure to leave a tail of about 6 inches for each color to weave in later.
6. Bind Off: Once your blanket measures 36 inches, it’s time to bind off. To do this, knit the first two stitches, then use your left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Knit another stitch and repeat this process until you have one stitch left on your needle. Cut the yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail, and pull it through the last stitch to secure it.
7. Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in all the loose ends from your color changes. This will give your blanket a clean finish and ensure that no yarn ends are sticking out.

Your cozy Cottagecore Chunky Jewel-Toned Baby Blanket is now complete! Enjoy wrapping your little one in this beautiful, handmade treasure.
