Materials:

• 1 (1 kg) skein of chunky weight yarn in mustard color
• 9 mm (US 13) knitting needles
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Gauge:

14 stitches and 20 rows = 10 cm (4 inches) in pattern stitch (after blocking).

• St: Stitch
• Rep: Repeat
• CO: Cast On
• BO: Bind Off

Instructions:

1. Cast On: CO 80 stitches using the long tail method.
2. Setup Row: Knit 1 row. This sets up your stitches for the following pattern.
3. Row 1: *(K2, P2); rep from * across the row. End with K2.
4. Row 2: *(P2, K2); rep from * across the row. End with P2.
5. Repeat Rows 1 and 2: until the blanket measures approximately 140 cm (55 inches) long or your desired length. Make sure to keep your tension even throughout.
