Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight, eco-friendly cotton blend
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 150 stitches using your US 8 (5mm) knitting needles. Ensure that your stitches are not too tight, as this will affect the overall drape of your afghan.
2. Garter Stitch Border (Rows 1-10):
   • Row 1: Knit all stitches.
   • Row 2: Knit all stitches.
   • Continue this pattern until you have completed 10 rows of knitting.
3. Moss Stitch Section (Rows 11-20):
   • Row 11: *K1, P1* repeat from * to * across the row.
   • Row 12: *P1, K1* repeat from * to * across the row.
   • Repeat Rows 11 and 12 for a total of 8 rows (Rows 11-20).
4. Stockinette Section (Rows 21-30):
   • Row 21: Knit all stitches.
   • Row 22: Purl all stitches.
   • Repeat Rows 21 and 22 for a total of 8 rows (Rows 23-30).
5. Repeat Sections: Continue to repeat Rows 11-30 until your afghan measures approximately 60 inches in length. This will create a beautiful labyrinthine texture reminiscent of a forest floor.
6. Finish with Garter Stitch: Once you reach the desired length, knit 10 additional rows in garter stitch to create a border.
7. Bind Off: Bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge of your afghan is not too tight.
8. Weave in Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This will give your afghan a clean and polished finish.

Your Eco-Whispering Moss Labyrinth Afghan is now complete! Enjoy the soft, inviting texture and the serene beauty it brings to your home.
