Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn
• Needles: US size 15 (10mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 6 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 90 stitches onto your knitting needle. Ensure that your stitches are not too tight, as this will make it difficult to work the first row.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches across the row. This establishes your first row and sets the tone for the texture.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row. This will create a nice contrast to the knit stitches from Row 1.
4. Row 3: This is where the bubble stitch begins!
   • Start by knitting 1 stitch (K1).
   • Next, into the next stitch, perform the following: knit 1 (K1), purl 1 (P1), and knit 1 (K1) all into the same stitch. This creates a bubble.
   • Then, perform a purl three together (P3tog) to decrease the stitches and form the bubble.
   • Repeat from the * until you reach the last stitch, where you will simply knit 1 (K1).
5. Row 4: Purl all stitches across the row. This will help to define the bubble stitches you just created.
6. Row 5: Knit all stitches across the row. This continues to build the texture of the blanket.
7. Row 6: Purl all stitches across the row. This will create a soft, squishy feel to your blanket.
8. Repeat Rows 3-6: Continue repeating Rows 3 through 6 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches long. Make sure to end with Row 6 for a clean finish.
9. Bind Off: Once your blanket reaches the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely. This will ensure that the edge of your blanket is not too tight.
10. Weave in Ends: Finally, take the time to weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle. This will give your blanket a polished look.

Your finished blanket will measure approximately 50 inches wide by 60 inches long, featuring a prominent bubble stitch texture that creates a series of raised, rounded motifs across the surface. Enjoy your cozy, soft, and inviting Chunky Knit Bubble Stitch Blanket!
