Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in golden yellow
• Needles: US size 15 (10 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 96 stitches onto your US size 15 knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are not too tight; they should slide easily on the needle.
2. Ribbing: Work in a 4x4 rib pattern for the first 6 rows. This means:
   • Row 1: *K4, P4*; repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
   • Row 2: Purl all stitches.
   • Repeat these two rows until you have completed 6 rows of ribbing.
3. Begin Cable Pattern: Start your cable pattern after the ribbing:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): *K4, C8F* (this means slip 4 stitches to a cable needle and hold it in front, knit the next 4 stitches from the left needle, then knit the 4 stitches from the cable needle), repeat from * to * across the row.
   • Row 2 and all Wrong Side rows: Purl all stitches.
   • Row 3: *K4, P8*, repeat from * to * across the row.
   • Row 4: Purl all stitches.
   • Row 5: Repeat Row 1.
4. Continue in Pattern: Keep repeating the cable pattern until your blanket reaches your desired length. Remember to end with 6 rows of the 4x4 ribbing to match the beginning of your blanket.
5. Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired length, bind off loosely in pattern to maintain the elasticity of your stitches. To bind off in pattern, knit the first two stitches, then pass the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Knit the next stitch and repeat until all stitches are bound off.

Congratulations! You have completed your Golden Cable Knit Blanket. This beautiful piece will not only keep you warm but also serve as a lovely addition to your home decor. Enjoy your cozy creation!
