Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, approximately 800 yards
• Needles: US Size 15 (10mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 80 stitches onto your knitting needle. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy movement.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches across the row. This establishes the stockinette stitch pattern.
3. Row 2: Purl all stitches across the row. This will create the first row of the textured pattern.
4. Row 3: Start the ribbing pattern: *Knit 2 stitches, then purl 2 stitches*; repeat from * to the end of the row.
5. Row 4: Switch the ribbing: *Purl 2 stitches, then knit 2 stitches*; repeat from * to the end of the row.
6. Rows 5-8: Repeat Rows 3 and 4 two more times. This will build the texture of the throw.
7. Row 9: Knit all stitches across the row.
8. Row 10: Purl all stitches across the row.
9. Row 11: Begin the next ribbing section: *Purl 2 stitches, then knit 2 stitches*; repeat from * to the end of the row.
10. Row 12: Switch the ribbing: *Knit 2 stitches, then purl 2 stitches*; repeat from * to the end of the row.
11. Rows 13-16: Repeat Rows 11 and 12 two more times. This will create a beautiful alternating texture.
12. Repeat: Continue repeating Rows 1-16 until the throw measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. You can end with either Row 8 or Row 16 for a polished look.
13. Bind Off: Once you have reached your desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the edges.
14. Finishing Touch: Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle to give your throw a clean finish.
