• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On

Using the long-tail cast-on method, cast on a total of 180 stitches. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy knitting.

2. Establish the Pattern

Follow the pattern below to create the beautiful 3D texture:

Rows 1-4

1. Row 1 (Right Side): *K4, P4; repeat from * to end.
2. Row 2 (Wrong Side): *P4, K4; repeat from * to end.
3. Row 3: *K4, P4; repeat from * to end.
4. Row 4: *P4, K4; repeat from * to end.

Repeat Rows 1-4

Continue to repeat Rows 1-4 for a total of 8 rows:

1. Rows 5-8: Repeat Rows 1-4.

Continue the Pattern

Now, continue with the following rows:

1. Row 9 (Right Side): *K4, P4; repeat from * to end.
2. Row 10 (Wrong Side): *P4, K4; repeat from * to end.
3. Row 11: *K4, P4; repeat from * to end.
4. Row 12: *P4, K4; repeat from * to end.

6. Row 14 (Wrong Side): *P4, K4; repeat from * to end.
7. Rows 15-18: Repeat Rows 9-12.

3. Repeat the Pattern

Continue alternating between the two 3D textured stitch patterns every 8 rows until the afghan measures approximately 60 inches in length.

4. Bind Off

Once your afghan reaches the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely in pattern to maintain the elasticity of the edges.

5. Finishing Touches

• Weave in all loose ends securely using a tapestry needle.
• Block the afghan to the measurements to enhance the texture and drape. This will help the stitches settle and give your afghan a polished look.
