This pattern has vanished from the internet and the Wayback Machine seems to show a shopping cart setup.
But projects with helpful notes reveal the formula is 6 horizontal stitches on each side for a border (so 12) + pattern repeat. Pattern page says the repeat is 24 st; some projects use a 30-st repeat consisting of
kfb, k12, ssk, k2tg, k12, kfb
So presumably a 24-st repeat uses “k9” in place of those k12s.
I started knitting an icord for a cast on but I think I will just do a garter edge and pick up an icord bindoff later if I want one.

This looks nice, but I would not do the smooth version that requires so much purling again. Any other zigzag blankets I make are going to be garter stitch.

I highly recommend weaving in the ends as you go on a striped project - this is the first one where the finishing didn’t make me wish I’d never been born.
To accomplish this, at the end of a stripe I cut the yarn with a tail, then marked exactly where it emerged from the last stitch and russian joined the next color of yarn to it at that point. In order to complete the russian join on the knitted portion, I then unknitted 3-5 stitches back to give myself space for the yarn to double back on itself, then re-knitted it.
Instead of slipping the first stitch of every row, in order to prevent stripes jogging, I slipped the last stitch of every row (this tip from schrouderknits’s most popular posts!).
