It has a chunky, oversized cable knit texture that looks like a giant sweater in blanket form. Seriously, the fact that you can get this sort of texture without even knowing how to knit is pretty amazing!
This blanket is easy to make using loop yarn, a new type of yarn that has loop presewn in. That means you can knit using your fingers, without knowing how to knit!
For a 39×60 inch blanket, you will need 4 balls of the Bernat Alize Blanket EZ yarn (which is my favorite loop yarn).
This blanket was made using a free pattern from Yarnspirations. Because I think these patterns are really hard to read if you don’t know how to knit already, I’ve made a video that will walk you through the process.
