Materials Needed
- Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn (recommended color: deep ocean blue)
- Needles: 15mm circular needles
- Gauge: 6 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
- Scissors: For cutting yarn
- Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cast On: Begin by casting on 60 stitches onto your 15mm circular needles. Make sure your stitches are not too tight; you want them to be comfortable to work with.
- Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row. This will create a solid foundation for your throw.
- Row 2: Purl all stitches across the row. This will help create the texture that defines your throw.
- Row 3: Begin the wave pattern: *Knit 4 stitches, then purl 4 stitches; repeat from * until you reach the end of the row. This creates the first section of your textured wave.
- Row 4: Continue the wave pattern: *Purl 4 stitches, then knit 4 stitches; repeat from * until the end of the row. This will alternate the texture and enhance the wave effect.
- Row 5: Knit all stitches across the row. This will add another layer of texture to your throw.
- Row 6: Purl all stitches across the row. This completes one full repeat of the wave pattern.
- Repeat Rows 3-6: Continue repeating Rows 3 through 6 until your throw measures approximately 60 inches in length. Make sure to end on Row 6 for a clean finish.
- Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge of your throw remains flexible.
- Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This will give your throw a clean and polished look.
Final Thoughts
The finished throw will measure approximately 50x60 inches, featuring a bold, undulating wave pattern created by alternating sections of knit and purl stitches. The deep ocean blue yarn adds to the wave-like aesthetic, providing a soft, plush feel.
