Cozy Textured Blanket

Cozy Textured Blanket

This cozy blanket is perfect for snuggling up on a chilly night. With a textured stitch pattern and soft yarn, it will become your favorite throw. The blanket can be used in any room to add warmth and style.

Materials:

• Bulky weight yarn (approximately 800 yards, in a soft cream color)
• Size 10 (6.0mm) knitting needles
• Stitch marker
• Yarn needle for weaving in ends

Gauge:

14 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch. Be sure to check your gauge to ensure the correct size of the blanket.

Abbreviations:

• k = knit
• p = purl
• st = stitch
• Row = a single line of knitting

Instructions:

1. Cast on 60 stitches using the long tail cast-on method.
2. Row 1: *k1, p1; repeat from * to end of row.
3. Row 2: *p1, k1; repeat from * to end of row.
4. Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until the blanket measures approximately 60 inches long, or until you reach your desired length.
5. Bind off all stitches loosely. To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second and off the needle. Continue this process until all stitches are bound off.
6. Set the blanket aside and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.

Final Touches:

For a more finished look, you can add a simple border by picking up stitches along the edges and working a few rows of garter stitch (knit every row) around the blanket. This adds a lovely touch!

Now you have a beautiful Cozy Textured Blanket to keep or gift to someone special!
