- Needles: US size 15 (10 mm) knitting needles
- Gauge: 8 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cast On: Begin by casting on 80 stitches onto your knitting needle. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility in your fabric.
- First Rib Section:
- Row 1 (Right Side): *K2, p2; repeat from * to end of row. This creates the ribbing effect.
- Row 2 (Wrong Side): *P2, k2; repeat from * to end of row. Continue this pattern.
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until your work measures 10 inches from the cast-on edge.
- Seed Stitch Section:
- Row 1 (Right Side): *K1, p1; repeat from * to end of row.
- Row 2 (Wrong Side): *P1, k1; repeat from * to end of row.
Continue in seed stitch for another 10 inches, creating a beautiful textured surface.
- Second Rib Section:
Switch back to the rib pattern used in the first section and repeat for another 10 inches.
- Alternating Sections:
Continue alternating between the rib and seed stitch sections until your throw measures approximately 60 inches in length. Make sure to end with a rib section for a cohesive look.
- Bind Off:
Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches in pattern to maintain the texture of your work.
- Finishing Touches:
Weave in all ends securely using a tapestry needle to ensure a clean finish.
Your finished throw will measure approximately 50 by 60 inches, featuring alternating sections of rib and seed stitch that create a dynamic and highly textured surface. Enjoy your cozy, handmade masterpiece!
