I finished knitting an afghan tonight. I used just over four balls of Jump Rope Blanket Yarn By Bernat.
Cast on 4 stitches using 8.5mm needles (I used circular).
Knit 2, YO, Knit to end.
Turn work.

Cast off the final 4 stitches.
The final product weighed almost three pounds and was about 4.5 feet by 4.5 feet. It's really soft and warm. If you want it bigger, keeping adding stitches before you start the decreasing rows.

It's a giant dishcloth! just kidding, but that's the pattern for making those nice cotton dishcloths, but on a larger, softer scale. Very nice!
