Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn in a soft beige color
• Needles: US 10 (6.0 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in rib pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on a multiple of 4 stitches. For a standard throw blanket, you might want to cast on 80 stitches, which will give you a width of approximately 40 inches.
2. Row 1: Start your first row by knitting 2 stitches (K2), then purling 2 stitches (P2). Repeat this pattern across the entire row. Your row should end with a K2 if you cast on a multiple of 4 stitches correctly.
3. Continue Knitting: For each subsequent row, repeat Row 1 (K2, P2) until the blanket reaches your desired length. This will create the beautiful ribbed texture that characterizes the blanket. Make sure to keep your tension consistent for an even finish.
4. Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired length, it’s time to bind off. To bind off in pattern, knit the first 2 stitches, then pass the first stitch over the second stitch on the right needle. Knit another stitch, and repeat the process until you have bound off all stitches.
5. Weave in Ends: After binding off, use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends. This will give your blanket a neat and polished look.
