I cast on 143 stitches or so.

It’s knit 3, purl 3 in rib for four rows, then switch the knits and purls for four rows. Do not put a knit row in between the basketweaves as you do in some patterns. Leaving that out makes the blanket reversible.

Forgot to mention it has a five stitch garter border on each side, and five garter ridges on top and bottom.
