Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn
• 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 US size 13 knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are not too tight; you want them to be comfortable to work with.
2. Establish the Base Pattern:
   • Rows 1, 3, 5 (Right Side - RS): *K6, p6; repeat from * to end. This means you will knit 6 stitches, then purl 6 stitches, and continue this pattern until you reach the end of the row.
   • Rows 2, 4, 6 (Wrong Side - WS): *P6, k6; repeat from * to end. Here, you will purl 6 stitches, then knit 6 stitches, and continue this pattern until the end of the row.
3. Begin the Cable Pattern:
   • Row 7 (RS): *C6F, p6; repeat from * to end. The C6F means to cable 6 stitches to the front. To do this, you will need to hold 6 stitches on a cable needle in front of your work, knit the next 6 stitches from the left needle, then knit the 6 stitches from the cable needle.
   • Row 8 (WS): *P6, k6; repeat from * to end. This is the same as rows 2, 4, and 6.
4. Repeat the Pattern: Continue repeating rows 1-8 until your blanket measures your desired length. Keep an eye on your gauge to ensure consistency in your work.
5. Bind Off: Once you have reached your desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to allow for a comfortable edge. A loose bind-off will help maintain the elasticity of your blanket.
6. Weave in Ends: Finally, use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends from your cast on and bind off. This will give your blanket a clean finish.

Now you have your very own cozy cable knit blanket! Enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings to your home.
