Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky velvet yarn
• Needles: US 15 (10mm) 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 US 15 (10mm) knitting needles. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy movement while knitting.
2. Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row. This establishes the first row of your blanket.
3. Row 2: 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 the end of the row.
5. Row 4: Continue the wave pattern:
   • *Purl 4 stitches, then knit 4 stitches; repeat from * to the end of the row.
6. Repeat Rows 3 and 4: Continue alternating between Row 3 and Row 4 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length. This will create the beautiful undulating textures characteristic of the Velvet Waves design.
7. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches. To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Continue this process until all stitches are bound off.
8. Finishing Touches: Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to ensure a clean finish. This step is crucial for maintaining the polished look of your blanket.

Your Velvet Waves Chunky Blanket is now complete! Enjoy the rich, deep navy blue color and the soft, plush texture of the velvet yarn. This blanket is not only a cozy addition to your home but also a wonderful project that showcases your knitting skills.
