Materials Needed
- Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn (recommended color: deep forest green)
- Knitting Needles: US 15 (10 mm) knitting needles
- Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
- Scissors: For cutting yarn
- Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cast On: Begin by casting on 80 stitches using your super bulky yarn and US 15 knitting needles. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility in your blanket.
- Row 1 (Right Side): *Knit 4, Purl 4; repeat from * to end of row. This establishes the texture pattern.
- Row 2 (Wrong Side): *Purl 4, Knit 4; repeat from * to end of row. This will create the alternating texture effect.
- Repeat Rows 1 and 2: Continue repeating Rows 1 and 2 for a total of 10 rows. This will form the first block of texture.
- Row 11: *Purl 4, Knit 4; repeat from * to end of row. This begins the second block of texture.
- Row 12: *Knit 4, Purl 4; repeat from * to end of row. This completes the second block of texture.
- Repeat Rows 11 and 12: Continue alternating between Rows 11 and 12 for another 10 rows.
- Continue Pattern: Keep alternating blocks of 10 rows in this pattern until your blanket measures 60 inches or your desired length. Make sure to check your measurements regularly to ensure consistency.
- Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the edge.
- Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in any loose ends from your yarn to give your blanket a clean finish.
The finished blanket will be a large, rectangular piece measuring approximately 50 inches by 60 inches. It features a rich, textured surface with alternating blocks of raised and recessed stitches, creating a checkerboard effect. The chunky yarn gives the blanket a plush, cozy feel, making it perfect for snuggling up on chilly evenings.
