Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight cotton yarn
• Needles: US 10 (6 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 100 stitches onto your US 10 (6 mm) knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are evenly spaced and not too tight.
2. Work in Stockinette Stitch:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches.
   Repeat these two rows for a total of 10 rows. This will create a smooth base for your blanket.
3. Begin Textured Pattern:

   Now we will create the textured pattern. Follow these steps:

   • Row 1 (Right Side): *K2, P2* repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): *P2, K2* repeat from * to end of the row.

   Repeat these two rows for a total of 20 rows. This will give your blanket a lovely textured appearance.

4. Return to Stockinette Stitch: After completing the textured pattern, switch back to stockinette stitch:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches.
   Repeat these two rows for another 10 rows.
5. Repeat Sections: Continue to alternate between the textured pattern and stockinette stitch sections until your blanket reaches the desired length. Make sure to keep track of your rows to maintain an even pattern.
6. Bind Off: Once you have reached your desired length, it’s time to bind off.

   To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then use your left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Knit another stitch and repeat this process until all stitches are bound off.

7. Weave in Ends: Finally, use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends. This will give your blanket a neat finish and ensure it lasts for years to come.

Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own cozy textured knit blanket. Enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings to your home!
