Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in golden yellow
• Needles: US size 13 (9 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 96 stitches onto your knitting needle. Make sure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy movement while knitting.
2. Create the Border: Work in a 4x4 rib pattern for the first 4 rows:
   • Row 1: *K4, P4; repeat from * to end of row.
   • Row 2: *P4, K4; repeat from * to end of row.
   • Row 3: Repeat Row 1.
   • Row 4: Repeat Row 2.
3. Begin Cable Pattern: Now you will start the cable pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): K4, *C8F (this means slip 4 stitches to a cable needle and hold it in front of your work, knit the next 4 stitches from your left needle, then knit the 4 stitches from the cable needle), K4; repeat from * to end of row.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row.
4. Repeat Cable Rows: Continue to repeat Rows 1 and 2 until your blanket reaches your desired length. Make sure to end with a Wrong Side row for a neat finish.
5. Create the Top Border: Once you have reached the desired length, work in the 4x4 rib pattern for another 4 rows to create the top border:
   • Row 1: *K4, P4; repeat from * to end of row.
   • Row 2: *P4, K4; repeat from * to end of row.
   • Row 3: Repeat Row 1.
   • Row 4: Repeat Row 2.
6. Bind Off: Finally, bind off loosely in pattern. This will ensure that the edge of your blanket is not too tight and maintains its shape.
