Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, approximately 800 yards (we recommend a rich, deep navy blue for a sophisticated look)
• Needles: Size 15 (10 mm) circular knitting needles, 32 inches long
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Scissors: For cutting the yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 80 stitches onto your circular knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are not too tight to allow for comfortable knitting.
2. Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row. This establishes your first row of the blanket.
3. Row 2: Purl all stitches across the row. This will create a nice texture that alternates with the knit rows.
4. Row 3: Begin the textured pattern: *Knit 2, purl 2; repeat from * to the end of the row. This creates a ribbed effect.
5. Row 4: Continue the texture: *Purl 2, knit 2; repeat from * to the end of the row. This will alternate the ribbing from the previous row.
6. Row 5: Knit all stitches across the row. This will add another layer of texture to your blanket.
7. Row 6: Purl all stitches across the row. This continues to build the soft, inviting texture.
8. Row 7: Start a new pattern: *Knit 1, purl 1; repeat from * to the end of the row. This creates a lovely alternating pattern.
9. Row 8: Continue the new pattern: *Purl 1, knit 1; repeat from * to the end of the row. This will finish the set of textured rows.
10. Repeat Rows 1-8: Continue repeating these 8 rows until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length. Make sure to check your measurements regularly to ensure consistency.
11. Bind Off: Once your blanket reaches the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely. This will help maintain the elasticity of the edges.
12. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This will give your blanket a clean finish.
