Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, approximately 800 yards
• Needles: US Size 15 (10mm) circular needles, 32 inches long
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 80 stitches onto your circular needles. Make sure your stitches are not twisted on the needle.
2. Establish the Base Rows:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches across the row.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row.
3. Create the Ribbing Pattern:
   • Row 3: *K2, P2* repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Row 4: *P2, K2* repeat from * to end of the row.

   Repeat Rows 3 and 4 until your work measures 10 inches from the cast-on edge.

4. Switch to Textured Wave Pattern:
   • Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row.
   • Row 2: Purl all stitches across the row.
   • Row 3: *K1, P1* repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Row 4: *P1, K1* repeat from * to end of the row.

   Continue repeating Rows 1-4 until the blanket measures 60 inches from the cast-on edge.

5. Finish with Ribbing: After reaching the desired length, complete the blanket with 10 inches of the ribbing pattern (Rows 3-4).
6. Bind Off: Bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge remains flexible.
7. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends, ensuring a neat finish.

Your finished blanket will be a sumptuous, oversized rectangle measuring approximately 50 inches by 60 inches. It features a series of bold, undulating wave-like textures created by alternating knit and purl stitches. The chunky yarn gives it a plush, inviting appearance, making it perfect for draping over a sofa or bed.

Enjoy your cozy creation!
