Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, approximately 800 yards
• Needles: US Size 15 (10 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 80 stitches onto your US Size 15 knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy knitting.
2. Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row. This will create a solid foundation for your blanket.
3. Row 2: Purl all stitches across the row. This will create a contrasting texture to the first row.
4. Row 3: Begin the textured pattern:
   • *Knit 2 stitches, then purl 2 stitches.*
   • Repeat from * to * across the entire row. This creates the wave-like effect.
5. Row 4: Continue with the textured pattern:
   • *Purl 2 stitches, then knit 2 stitches.*
   • Repeat from * to * across the entire row. This will alternate the texture and enhance the wave effect.
6. Repeat Rows 1-4: Continue repeating these four rows until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches long or your desired length. Make sure to check your measurements regularly to ensure consistency.
7. Bind Off: Once you reach your desired length, bind off all stitches loosely. This will ensure that the edge of your blanket remains flexible and does not pull tight.
8. Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in all loose ends from your yarn. This will give your blanket a clean finish and prevent any unraveling.

Congratulations! You've just completed your very own Textured Waves Chunky Blanket. Enjoy the warmth and beauty it brings to your home!
