Directions
Notes: • Right side of project is facing at all times. • To join new color, cut thread at base of next loop (thread used to create the loop) to create a yarn ‘tail’. You will now join next color. Cut thread at base of rst loop of new color to create a yarn “tail". Tie tails of two colors together, and weave in ends. With Contrast A, count 50 loops for foundation row (noting yarn end is at far right and all loops are facing upwards). 1st row: Working from left to right, pull the 51st loop (from ‘working yarn’) up through 50th loop (last loop of foundation row) from behind to create a knit stitch. Pull next loop from working yarn up through next loop of foundation row. Continue in this manner to end of row. Do not turn work. 50 stitches in row. 2nd row: Working from right to left, with working yarn in front, pull next loop from working yarn towards back through last stitch worked on previous row. *Pull next loop from working yarn towards back through next stitch. Repeat from * across to end of row. Do not turn. 3rd row: Working from left to right, with working yarn in back, pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through last stitch worked on previous row. *Pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through next stitch. Repeat from * across to end of row. Do not turn. 4th row: As 2nd row. Repeat 3rd and 4th rows for pattern, alternating 4 rows in Contrast A and 4 rows of Contrast B until Blanket measures approximately 40" [101.5 cm] square, ending on a 4th row of either shade (completing a full stripe).
Bind-o‑ row: Working in same direction as last row and in the same shade, pull 2nd stitch through rst stitch. Pull 3rd stitch through 2nd stitch. Pull 4th stitch through 3rd stitch. Continue in this manner to end of row. Cut last loop to create yarn ‘tail’. Tie to secure and weave in ends.
