Chunky Knit Blanket Pattern

Perfect for beginners, this chunky knit blanket is easy to make and super cozy. Using large needles and soft yarn, you'll have a stylish throw to keep you warm in no time!

Materials:

• Chunky yarn (weight 6): Approximately 6-8 skeins, depending on desired size
• US size 15 (10mm) circular knitting needles (32-inch length recommended)
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Gauge:

14 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in garter stitch. Gauge is not crucial for this project, but it affects the size.

Abbreviations:

• K = Knit
• P = Purl
• St(s) = Stitch(es)
• Rep = Repeat

Instructions:

1. Cast On: Cast on 40 stitches (or any multiple of 2 for the desired width) using the long-tail cast-on method.
2. Row 1: Knit all stitches (this forms the garter stitch pattern).
3. Row 2: Knit all stitches.
4. Repeat Rows 1 and 2: Continue knitting every row until the blanket measures approximately 50 inches (or desired length). You can make it longer if you want a bigger blanket.
5. Bind Off: Once your blanket reaches the desired length, bind off all stitches in knit.
6. Weave in Ends: Use the tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from the yarn.
7. Finishing: Optional - you can gently block your blanket to shape it and even out the stitches if desired.

Your cozy chunky knit blanket is now complete! It’s perfect for draping over a couch, taking to a picnic, or using as a stylish bed throw. Enjoy your new handmade treasure!
