The Knit Shake It Up Blanket was a challenge but doable for a determined beginner with the help of the tutorial provided. It's a rectangular thick blanket that combines knit stitches, knit one below stitch and purl stitches.

The Knit 1 Below Stitch isn't something I had seen before in patterns and was a bit of a learning curve to its purpose. Once it clicked and a few rows into it, I could see exactly where it was, and I felt so comfortable with it. It's that stitch that is creating the thickness of this blanket.

Using Caron Big Cakes, the colouring is amazing. The stitch combination is called a Shaker Rib Stitch.

I didn't realize starting the tutorial that this was a rectangular blanket. I clued in after noticing the pattern lines didn't square off. So I realized the pattern on page two has an optional concept where I suddenly clued in that if I skip one of the sections in the decrease, I can go right to squaring the blanket off or I can make it rectangular if I follow the entire pattern.

You will notice in the very long tutorial the working notes I created for myself to stay on track and checklist my way through the repeating to ensure I know what's going on. I found during the trial run of learning this that without it, I was a mess. I was confused. The designer left notes about marking the right side of the work, which is a key element here. Don't be lazy and make those check sheets yourself; you'll be glad you did.
