Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, approximately 1000 yards

• Gauge: 8 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 100 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Ensure your stitches are not too tight, as this will affect the elasticity of your blanket.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches across the row. This establishes the first row of your blanket.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row. This creates the foundation for the textured pattern.
4. Row 3: Begin the wave pattern. *Knit 4 stitches, then purl 4 stitches.* Repeat from * to end of row. This creates the first wave segment.
5. Row 4: Continue the wave pattern. *Purl 4 stitches, then knit 4 stitches.* Repeat from * to end of row. This alternates the texture.
6. Row 5: Repeat Row 3. This keeps the wave pattern consistent.
7. Row 6: Repeat Row 4. Continue to build the texture.
8. Row 7: *Purl 4 stitches, then knit 4 stitches.* Repeat from * to end of row. This creates the next segment of the wave.
9. Row 8: *Knit 4 stitches, then purl 4 stitches.* Repeat from * to end of row. This completes another wave segment.
10. Row 9: Repeat Row 7. Maintain the rhythm of the pattern.
11. Row 10: Repeat Row 8. This finalizes the current wave segment.
12. Repeat Rows 1-10: Continue repeating these ten rows until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. This will create a beautiful, textured wave effect throughout your blanket.
13. Bind Off: Once you've reached your desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge of your blanket is not too tight.
14. Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in any loose ends from your yarn to give your blanket a clean finish.

The finished blanket will feature a bold, undulating wave pattern created by alternating blocks of knit and purl stitches. The texture is deeply pronounced, giving the blanket a plush, luxurious feel. The yarn is a soft, creamy ivory color, enhancing the cozy, inviting look. The blanket will be rectangular, approximately 60 inches long and 48 inches wide, with a thick, substantial weight that drapes beautifully over a sofa or bed. Enjoy your new cozy creation!
