• 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 that your stitches are not too tight, as this will affect your ability to knit the first row comfortably.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches across the row. This establishes the first row of your blanket.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row. This will create a nice foundation for the textured pattern.
4. Row 3: Begin the textured pattern. *Knit 2 stitches, then purl 2 stitches; repeat from * to the end of the row. This creates the first wave of texture.
5. Row 4: Continue the textured pattern. *Purl 2 stitches, then knit 2 stitches; repeat from * to the end of the row. This will create the contrasting wave effect.
6. Repeat Rows 3-4: Continue repeating Rows 3 and 4 for a total of 10 rows. You will see the textured waves start to form beautifully.
7. Row 11: Knit all stitches across the row. This will create a smooth section after the textured waves.
8. Row 12: Purl all stitches across the row. This completes the set of 12 rows for your blanket.
9. Repeat Rows 1-12: Continue repeating Rows 1 through 12 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length, or your desired length.
10. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge of your blanket is not too tight.
11. Finishing Touch: Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your blanket a clean finish.

Your finished blanket will measure approximately 50 inches wide by 60 inches long, featuring a series of textured wave patterns created by alternating sections of stockinette and rib stitch. Enjoy your cozy, luxurious Textured Waves Chunky Blanket!
