Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, 100% wool
• Needles: US size 15 (10mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 80 stitches using your US size 15 (10mm) knitting needles. Ensure that your stitches are not too tight, as this will affect the overall drape of your blanket.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): *Knit 4 stitches (K4), Purl 4 stitches (P4); repeat from * until you reach the end of the row. This creates the first wave-like texture.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): *Purl 4 stitches (P4), Knit 4 stitches (K4); repeat from * until you reach the end of the row. This will create the contrasting texture on the opposite side.
4. Row 3: Repeat Row 1 (*K4, P4; repeat from * to end).
5. Row 4: Repeat Row 2 (*P4, K4; repeat from * to end).
6. Row 5: Repeat Row 2 (*P4, K4; repeat from * to end).
7. Row 6: Repeat Row 1 (*K4, P4; repeat from * to end).
8. Repeat Rows: Continue repeating Rows 1 through 6 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. This repetitive pattern will create the beautiful wave texture that defines this blanket.
9. Bind Off: Once you have reached your desired length, bind off all stitches loosely. This will ensure that the edge of your blanket remains flexible and neat.
10. Weave in Ends: Finally, take the time to weave in all loose ends securely using a tapestry needle. This will give your blanket a polished finish.
