Materials Needed

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

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 60 stitches onto your US 15 (10mm) knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are not too tight, as this will affect your ability to knit the first few rows comfortably.
2. Border: Work 4 rows in garter stitch. To do this, knit every row. This will create a nice, sturdy border for your blanket.
3. Begin Cable Pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): *K4, P4; repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): *P4, K4; repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Row 3: *C4F (this means to slip 2 stitches to a cable needle and hold it in front of your work, knit the next 2 stitches from the left needle, then knit the 2 stitches from the cable needle), P4; repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Row 4: Repeat Row 2.
4. Repeat Pattern: Continue repeating Rows 1-4 until your blanket reaches your desired length. This will create the beautiful cable texture that makes this blanket so special.
5. Finish with Border: Once you have reached the desired length, finish your blanket with 4 more rows of garter stitch (knit every row) to match the bottom border.
6. Bind Off: Bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge of your blanket is not too tight. This will help maintain the blanket's shape.
7. Weave in Ends: Finally, use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This will give your blanket a clean finish.

And there you have it! Your very own Cozy Cable Knit Blanket is ready to be enjoyed. Whether you keep it for yourself or gift it to someone special, this blanket is sure to bring warmth and comfort.
