10 stitches and 14 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in basketweave stitch pattern
Approximately 40 inches (102 cm) wide and 60 inches (152 cm) long
Cast on 120 stitches.
Row 1 (right side): *K6, p6; repeat from * to last 6 stitches, k6.
Row 2 (wrong side): *P6, k6; repeat from * to last 6 stitches, p6.
Repeat Rows 1-2 for the basketweave stitch pattern, knitting the knit stitches and purling the purl stitches as they appear on each row. Continue working in this pattern until the blanket reaches your desired length, ending with a Row 2.
Bind off all stitches. Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
Block the blanket to ensure it maintains its shape. To block, soak the blanket in lukewarm water with a mild detergent for 15 minutes. Gently squeeze out the excess water, then lay the blanket flat on a clean towel. Smooth out any wrinkles and shape the blanket to its desired dimensions. Leave the blanket to air dry completely before removing it from the towel.
Your cozy knitted blanket is now ready to keep you warm and cozy!
