Cast on any where from 150 - 250 sts, depends how long you want it. Join to work in the round, purl 4-5 rounds, knit 4-5 rounds, repeat till it's the width you want, BO.
I just did one with an aran weight and cast on about 250 stitches (if I were doing it again I think I'd do more like 300 - 325) I worked about 4 rows in garter and then the rest in seed stitch. Then I ended it with 4 rows of garter. Looks lovely.

Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it.
