The finished blanket width will be the same as the loop thread that you start knitting with. For a blanket with a width of 80 cm, count 50 loops and start with the 51st loop.
Start knitting from right to left using a simple knit stitch for the entire row.
To create the braid effect, start working from left to right. Cross the first two stitches so the right stitch is over the left one. Knit them, then repeat this with the remaining stitches.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until your blanket reaches the desired length.
Once you finish the row with crossed stitches, bind off by passing the second stitch through the first one from left to right.
