Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in shades of deep forest green, slate gray, and cream.
• Needles: US size 15 (10 mm) knitting needles.
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by using the long-tail cast-on method to cast on 80 stitches onto your knitting needle. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy knitting.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all 80 stitches. This establishes your first row and sets the foundation for the texture.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all 80 stitches. This creates the first layer of texture and prepares for the alternating pattern.
4. Row 3: Begin the textured pattern. *Knit 4 stitches, then purl 4 stitches.* Repeat from * to the end of the row. This will create the first set of peaks.
5. Row 4: *Purl 4 stitches, then knit 4 stitches.* Repeat from * to the end of the row. This will create the valleys between the peaks.
6. Row 5: Repeat Row 3. Continue to build the texture of the blanket.
7. Row 6: Repeat Row 4. This will maintain the alternating pattern of knit and purl stitches.
8. Row 7: Knit all stitches across the row. This will create a smooth surface on the right side of the blanket.
9. Row 8: Purl all stitches across the row. This will finish the set of 8 rows and prepare for the next repeat.

Repeat Rows 1-8 until the blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length, ensuring to end with Row 8 for a clean finish.

Finishing Touches

10. Bind Off: Once your blanket reaches the desired length, bind off all stitches in pattern. This means to knit and purl as you did in the previous rows while binding off.
11. Weave in Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in all loose ends securely. This will give your blanket a polished look and prevent any unraveling.
