Instructions
Before You Start
- Keep the right side of the project facing you at all times.
- Hold the working yarn behind the stitches throughout the project.
- Always pull the loops from the working yarn through the stitches from back to front.
- Count 50 loops for the foundation row, with the yarn end at the far right and all loops facing upward.
1st Row
Work from left to right.
Pull the 51st loop from the working yarn through the 50th loop of the foundation row from behind to create a knit stitch. Continue pulling each following loop through the next loop of the foundation row until you reach the end.
Do not turn the work. You should have 50 stitches in the row.
2nd Row
Work from right to left.
Pull the next loop from the working yarn up from behind through the last stitch worked on the previous row. Then continue across the row, pulling each next loop through the next stitch.
Do not turn the work.
3rd Row
Work from left to right.
Pull the next loop from the working yarn up from behind through the last stitch worked on the previous row. Continue across the row, pulling each next loop through the next stitch.
Do not turn the work.
Repeat
Repeat the 2nd and 3rd rows until the blanket measures approximately 39 inches (99 cm), ending with a 3rd row.
Bind Off
Work in the same direction as the last row. Pull the second stitch through the first stitch, then pull the third stitch through the second stitch. Continue in this manner across the row.
Cut the last loop to create a yarn tail. Tie the yarn tail to secure it, then weave in the ends.
