Instructions

This printable pattern is specifically for the Lapghan Throw Size (35" x 46") Blanket. For other blanket sizes, please see the yarn amount and pattern specifics in the above post.

_____

Step 1: Cast On

Cast 112 stitches onto your needle with the long-tail method.
_____

Step 2: Bottom Border

Begin knitting the bottom border in the easy Garter Stitch.

When knitting flat on a long circular needle for your project's length, begin by holding the "empty" needle in your dominant hand (right for right-handers, left for left-handers) while knitting from the needle with the yarn tail in your non-dominant hand.

Rows 1 - 11: Knit All

Row 12: K8, * Purl All to Last 8 Stitches *, K8

_____

Step 3: Blanket Body

Knit the Zigzag Stitch.

This pattern includes an 8-stitch border on all sides of garter stitches.

To best keep track of your stitches, it is highly recommended to place markers. I simply use a little scrap yarn and place them between the stitch repeats. Doing so allows me to easily keep track of my stitches while knitting row-by-row.
