Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in the following colors:
  • Deep Navy
  • Cosmic Purple
  • Stardust Silver
• Needles: US size 15 (10mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 80 stitches using the deep navy yarn. Make sure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility in your blanket.
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 creates the foundation for the ripple texture.
4. Rows 3-4:
   • Row 3: *Knit 4, purl 4; repeat from * to end. This creates the first ripple effect.
   • Row 4: *Purl 4, knit 4; repeat from * to end. This will alternate the texture and enhance the ripple.
5. Repeat Rows 3 and 4: Continue repeating Rows 3 and 4 for a total of 10 rows. This will build the texture of your blanket.
6. Switch Colors: After completing 10 rows, switch to cosmic purple yarn. Continue with the following rows:
7. Rows 11-20: Repeat Rows 3 and 4 using the cosmic purple yarn. This will add a new dimension of color to your blanket.
8. Switch Colors Again: After completing Rows 20, switch to stardust silver yarn.
9. Rows 21-30: Repeat Rows 3 and 4 using the stardust silver yarn. This will create a beautiful contrast with the previous colors.
10. Continue Alternating Colors: Keep alternating colors every 10 rows until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length. This will give your blanket a vibrant, cosmic look.
11. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge of your blanket is not too tight.
12. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends from your yarn. This will give your blanket a clean finish.
