Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn in a soft peach color
• Needles: US size 15 (10 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in rib pattern
• Scissors: For cutting the yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 60 stitches onto your US size 15 (10 mm) knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are not too tight; you want them to be comfortable for the ribbing pattern.
2. Row 1: Start your first row by knitting 2 stitches, then purling 2 stitches. Repeat this sequence across the entire row. This creates the ribbed texture that will give your blanket its cozy look.
3. Continue Knitting: After completing Row 1, continue to repeat this row until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches long. Remember to keep your tension consistent for a uniform appearance. You can periodically check your work by measuring the length with a tape measure.
4. Bind Off: Once your blanket reaches the desired length, it’s time to bind off. To do this, knit the first two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Knit another stitch and repeat the process until all stitches are bound off. This will keep the edge of your blanket neat and tidy.
5. Weave in Ends: Finally, take your tapestry needle and weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This step is crucial for a polished finish and ensures that your blanket will last for years to come.

Congratulations! You’ve just completed your very own Chunky Ribbed Knit Blanket. Enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings to your home!
