- Size 15 (10 mm) knitting needles
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Gauge
12 stitches and 14 rows = 4 inches in garter stitch. Adjust needles if necessary to achieve correct gauge.
Abbreviations
- k - knit
- p - purl
- st(s) - stitch(es)
- BO - bind off
- CO - cast on
Instructions
Step 1: Casting On
CO 40 stitches using the long tail method. Ensure your tail is long enough for the entire project.
Step 2: Garter Stitch Pattern
Row 1: k across all stitches (this is the right side).
Row 2: k across all stitches (this is the wrong side).
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until your blanket reaches approximately 60 inches long, or your desired length.
Step 3: Binding Off
Once the blanket reaches the desired length, BO all stitches. To BO, knit the first 2 stitches, then pull the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Continue this across all stitches until you have one stitch left. Cut the yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail, and pull it through the last stitch to secure it.
Step 4: Finishing
Using a tapestry needle, weave in all loose ends. Make sure to hide the ends well so they don’t unravel.
Final Size
The finished blanket will measure approximately 48 inches wide by 60 inches long.
Care Instructions
Hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry to maintain the softness and shape of your chunky knit blanket.
Your Cozy Chunky Knit Blanket is now finished! Enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings to your home.
