Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in soft pastels (e.g., lavender, mint, blush)
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 150 stitches onto your US 8 (5mm) knitting needles. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy movement.
2. Garter Stitch Border (Rows 1-4):
   • Row 1: Knit all stitches.
   • Row 2: Knit all stitches.
   • Row 3: Knit all stitches.
   • Row 4: Knit all stitches.
3. Textured Pattern (Rows 5-16):
   • Row 5: *Knit 5, Purl 5*; repeat from * to * across the row.
   • Row 6: *Purl 5, Knit 5*; repeat from * to * across the row.
   • Row 7: Repeat Row 5.
   • Row 8: Repeat Row 6.
   • Row 9-12: Knit all stitches (garter stitch section).
   • Row 13: *Purl 5, Knit 5*; repeat from * to * across the row.
   • Row 14: *Knit 5, Purl 5*; repeat from * to * across the row.
   • Row 15: Repeat Row 13.
   • Row 16: Repeat Row 14.
4. Repeat Pattern: Continue repeating Rows 1-16 until the blanket measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. Make sure to end with a garter stitch section for a polished finish.
5. Bind Off: Once you reach your desired length, bind off all stitches. 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. Weave in Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends from your project, ensuring a neat finish.
