Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cast On: Begin by casting on 180 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy knitting.
- Create the Border:
- Rows 1-10: Knit every row to create a garter stitch border. This will provide a nice frame for your blanket.

- Row 12 (Wrong Side): *P4, K2, P2, K2, P4; repeat from * to end.
- Repeat Pattern:
- Rows 13-20: Repeat Rows 11 and 12 four more times to build the texture of the blanket.
- Change Colors:
- Rows 21-30: Switch to moss green yarn and repeat Rows 11-20.
- Rows 31-40: Switch to river blue yarn and repeat Rows 11-20.
- Rows 41-50: Switch to fawn brown yarn and repeat Rows 11-20.
- Continue Alternating Colors: Keep alternating colors every 10 rows, maintaining the established pattern, until the blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length.
- Finish the Blanket:
- Complete with 10 rows of garter stitch in the color of your choice for the top border.
- Bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge is not too tight.
- Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle to give your blanket a neat finish.
