Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, approximately 1000 yards
• Needles: US Size 15 (10 mm) knitting needles
• 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 knitting needle. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy movement.
2. Garter Stitch Border (Rows 1-4):
   • Row 1: Knit all stitches.
   • Row 2: Knit all stitches.
   • Row 3: Knit all stitches.
   • Row 4: Knit all stitches.
3. Creating the Bubble Stitch Pattern:
   • Row 5: *Knit 4, purl 4*, repeat from * to * across the row.
   • Row 6: *Purl 4, knit 4*, repeat from * to * across the row.
   • Row 7: Repeat Row 5.
   • Row 8: Repeat Row 6.
4. Bubble Rows (Rows 9-10):
   • Row 9: *Knit 4, make a bubble (to make a bubble, knit into the front, back, and front of the next stitch, then pass the second and third stitches over the first stitch to create a bubble), knit 3*, repeat from * to * across the row.
   • Row 10: *Purl 4, knit 4*, repeat from * to * across the row.
5. Repeat Pattern: Continue repeating Rows 5-10 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length. Make sure to check your progress regularly to maintain the desired size.
6. Finish with Garter Stitch: Once your blanket reaches the desired length, end with four rows of garter stitch (knit all stitches for each of the four rows).
7. Bind Off: Once completed, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge of your blanket remains flexible.
8. Weave in Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends from your project, ensuring a neat finish.

The finished blanket will measure approximately 50 by 60 inches and features a striking texture reminiscent of bubble wrap, with raised bubble-like motifs scattered evenly across the surface. Enjoy snuggling up with your new cozy creation!
