Materials Needed
- Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn (approximately 600 yards)
- Needles: US 15 (10mm) knitting needles
- Scissors: For cutting yarn
- Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends
Step-by-Step Instructions
- 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.
- Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row. This establishes the first layer of your blanket.
- Row 2: Purl all stitches across the row. This will create a nice contrast to the first row.
- Row 3: Begin the textured pattern. *Knit 1, purl 1* and repeat from * to the end of the row. This creates the seed stitch effect.
- Row 4: Continue the texture. *Purl 1, knit 1* and repeat from * to the end of the row. This will alternate the seed stitch pattern.
- Row 5: Knit all stitches across the row. This will help to define the texture further.
- Row 6: Purl all stitches across the row. This completes one full repeat of the textured pattern.
- Repeat Rows 3-6: Continue repeating rows 3 through 6 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length. This will create a beautiful wave-like texture throughout the blanket.
- Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired length, bind off all stitches. Make sure to do this loosely to maintain the elasticity of the edge.
- Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in any loose ends of yarn to give your blanket a clean finish.
Your finished blanket will measure approximately 50 inches by 60 inches, featuring a highly textured surface with alternating bands of stockinette and seed stitch, creating a stunning wave-like pattern. The soft, creamy ivory color of the yarn adds warmth and elegance, making it perfect for draping over a sofa or bed. Enjoy your cozy creation!
