Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in deep blue, teal, and silver
• Needles: US size 15 (10 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 6 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 60 stitches onto your US size 15 knitting needles. Ensure your stitches are not too tight, as this will affect the overall drape of your blanket.
2. Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row. This establishes the first row of your blanket.
3. Row 2: Purl all stitches across the row. This creates the foundation for the ripple texture.
4. Row 3: Begin the ripple pattern:
   • *Knit 4 stitches, then purl 2 stitches.*
   • Repeat from * to end of the row.
5. Row 4: Continue the ripple pattern:
   • *Purl 4 stitches, then knit 2 stitches.*
   • Repeat from * to end of the row.
6. Row 5: Shift the pattern:
   • *Knit 2 stitches, then purl 4 stitches.*
   • Repeat from * to end of the row.
7. Row 6: Complete the ripple pattern:
   • *Purl 2 stitches, then knit 4 stitches.*
   • Repeat from * to end of the row.
8. Repeat Rows 3-6: Continue repeating Rows 3 through 6 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. Make sure to check your measurements regularly to ensure consistency.
9. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches. To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Continue this process until all stitches are bound off.
10. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This will give your blanket a clean finish.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Cosmic Ripple Chunky Blanket. Enjoy the warmth and beauty it brings to your home!
