Chunky Knit Blanket Pattern

This chunky knit blanket is knit with jumbo sized knitting needles! These oversized stitches make for a super thick & super cozy handknit blanket. It’s a beginner pattern using only knit & purl stitches. It’s easy to memorize using a 2 row repeat that naturally lays flat and has a beautiful texture.
