Materials Needed

- Size 25 mm circular needles, 36 inches long
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cast On
Using the long-tail cast-on method, cast on 60 stitches. Ensure that your stitches are not too tight, as this will affect the drape of your blanket.
2. Knit the Blanket
Follow these steps to create the body of the blanket:
- Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches across the row. This creates the first layer of your stockinette stitch.
- Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row. This will form the reverse side of your blanket.
Continue to repeat Rows 1 and 2 until the blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length or until you reach your desired length. Remember to check your gauge: 4 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch.
3. Bind Off
To finish your blanket, you will need to bind off the stitches:
- Knit 2 stitches.
- Pass the first stitch over the second stitch to bind it off.
- Knit 1 more stitch, then pass the previous stitch over the new stitch.
- Repeat this process until all stitches are bound off. This will create a clean edge for your blanket.
4. Finishing Touches
Once you have bound off all stitches, it’s time to finish your blanket:
- Use a tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends. This will give your blanket a polished look.
- Gently block the blanket to even out the stitches and enhance the drape. This step is crucial for achieving a professional finish.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Oceanic Cottagecore Chunky Blanket. This beautiful piece not only serves as a cozy addition to your home but also showcases your knitting skills. Enjoy wrapping yourself in this warm, handmade creation!
