Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in mustard yellow
• Needles: US Size 15 (10mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 60 stitches onto your US Size 15 knitting needles. Ensure that your stitches are not too tight, as this will affect the overall drape of your blanket.
2. Work in Stockinette Stitch:
   • Row 1: Knit all stitches.
   • Row 2: Purl all stitches.
   • Repeat these two rows for a total of 4 rows to create a solid foundation for your blanket.
3. Begin Cable Pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): K6, *C6F (Cable 6 Front), K6; repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches.
   • Row 3: Knit all stitches.
   • Row 4: Purl all stitches.
4. Continue Cable Pattern:
   • Row 5: K6, *C6B (Cable 6 Back), K6; repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Row 6: Purl all stitches.
   • Row 7: Knit all stitches.
   • Row 8: Purl all stitches.
5. Repeat Rows: Continue repeating Rows 1-8 until your blanket reaches your desired length. Make sure to end with either Row 4 or Row 8 for a neat finish.
6. Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the edge.
7. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn to give your blanket a polished look.
