Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn, 100% wool, approximately 500 yards
• Needles: US size 50 (25 mm) circular needles
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by making a slipknot and place it on your left needle. Use the long-tail cast-on method to cast on a total of 50 stitches. Ensure that your stitches are not too tight, as this will affect the elasticity of your blanket.
2. Row 1: Start your first row by knitting 2 stitches (K2). Then, purl the next 2 stitches (P2). Repeat this sequence of *K2, P2* across the entire row until you reach the end. You should have a total of 50 stitches on your needle at the end of this row.
3. Continue Knitting: For every subsequent row, repeat Row 1 (K2, P2) until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. Remember to keep your tension consistent throughout the project to maintain an even appearance.
4. Bind Off: Once your blanket has reached the desired length, it’s time to bind off. To do this, knit the first two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Knit another stitch and repeat the process until you have one stitch left on your needle. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches, and pull it through the last stitch to secure it.
5. Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in all loose ends from your cast-on and bind-off edges. This will give your blanket a clean and polished look.
