Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, approximately 1000 yards
• Needles: US size 15 (10mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 80 stitches onto your knitting needle. Ensure that your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy movement while knitting.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): *Knit 2 stitches (K2), then Purl 2 stitches (P2); repeat from * to the end of the row. This establishes the textured pattern.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): *Purl 2 stitches (P2), then Knit 2 stitches (K2); repeat from * to the end of the row. This will create the alternating texture.
4. Row 3: Repeat Row 2: *P2, K2; repeat from * to the end of the row.
5. Row 4: Repeat Row 1: *K2, P2; repeat from * to the end of the row.
6. Repeat Rows 1-4: Continue repeating these four rows until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length, or your desired length. Make sure to check your measurements regularly to ensure consistency.
7. Bind Off: Once you reach your desired length, bind off all stitches loosely. To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Continue this process until all stitches are bound off.
8. Finishing Touches: Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle. If desired, block your blanket lightly to enhance the texture and shape. Blocking can help even out stitches and give your blanket a polished look.
