Design
This bulky blanket is wonderfully squishy, worked in a unique cable that creates a stretchy 4X1 rib. Worked up on large needles with 2 strands of worsted/aran weight yarn. Alternatively, you can hold a single strand of chunky/bulky weight yarn. Pattern is written in THREE sizes. (see below) All repeats appear in bold text throughout pattern. The pattern is charted and also includes separate written instructions.
Finished Measurements (blocked)
Small: 32”/81 cm x 48”/122 cm

Large: 60”/152 cm x 78”/198 cm
Yarn Weight
Worsted/Aran weight yarn, held double OR a single strand of Chunky/Bulky weight yarn
Note: Holding worsted/aran weight double is my pro-tip when making blankets. You get the biggest bang for your buck with this weight because there’s generally lots of yardage in these skeins. Meaning fewer weave-ins and a more cost-efficient project. You can also substitute half the yardage needed with a chunky/bulky weight yarn, if you prefer.
