Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Boho Chic Neon 3D Texture Afghan:

1. Cast On: Using the long-tail cast-on method, cast on 120 stitches onto your knitting needle. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility in your work.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches across the row. This establishes the first row of your pattern.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row. This creates the foundation for your texture.
4. Row 3: *Knit 2, then make a bobble:
   • Knit into the front, back, front, back, and front of the next stitch.
   • Turn your work and purl 5 stitches.
   • Turn your work again and knit 5 stitches.
   • Pass the second, third, fourth, and fifth stitches over the first stitch to complete the bobble.
   Repeat from * across the row.
5. Row 4: Purl all stitches across the row.
6. Row 5: Knit all stitches across the row.
7. Row 6: Purl all stitches across the row.
8. Row 7: *Knit 6, then make a bobble (as described in Row 3), repeat from * across the row.
9. Row 8: Purl all stitches across the row.

Repeat Rows 1-8 until your afghan measures approximately 60 inches in length. This will give you a beautiful, textured fabric that showcases the vibrant colors and intricate bobbles.

Final Steps:

1. Once you have reached the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of your edges.
2. Using a tapestry needle, weave in all loose ends to give your afghan a clean finish.
