Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn in a natural beige color
• Needles: US 10 (6.0 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 120 stitches onto your US 10 (6.0 mm) knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are not too tight; you want them to be comfortable to work with.
2. Work the Ribbing:
   • Row 1: *K2, P2; repeat from * across the row.
   • Row 2: Repeat Row 1.
   • Continue this 2x2 ribbing pattern for a total of 6 rows.
3. Begin Cable Pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side - RS): K4, *C8F (Cable 8 Front), K4; repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side - WS): Purl all stitches across the row.
4. Repeat the Cable Pattern: Continue repeating Rows 1 and 2 until your blanket reaches your desired length. Remember to end with Row 2 (the purl row) for a neat finish.
5. Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired length, bind off all stitches in pattern. This means you will knit the first two stitches, then pass the first stitch over the second, and continue this until all stitches are bound off.
6. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This will give your blanket a clean, professional look.
