Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn (size 6)
• Needles: US size 50 (25mm) circular needles, 40 inches long
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 4 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by using the long-tail cast-on method to cast on 50 stitches onto your circular needles. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy 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 will create a nice texture that contrasts with the knit row.
4. Row 3: Begin the textured pattern: *Knit 1, purl 1* and repeat from * to the end of the row. This alternating stitch pattern will create the wave-like texture.
5. Row 4: Continue the textured pattern: *Purl 1, knit 1* and repeat from * to the end of the row. This will further enhance the wave effect.
6. Repeat: Continue repeating Rows 1-4 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length. Make sure to measure periodically to ensure accuracy.
7. Bind Off: Once your blanket reaches the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely. This is crucial to maintain the elasticity of the blanket edges.
8. Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This will give your blanket a clean, finished look.
