Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, 100% wool
• Needles: US Size 15 (10 mm) circular needles, 36 inches long
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 96 stitches onto your circular needles. Ensure that your stitches are not twisted before you start knitting.
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 the foundation for the textured pattern.
4. Textured Pattern Rows:
   • Row 3: *K4, P4; repeat from * to the end of the row. This creates the first set of peaks.
   • Row 4: *P4, K4; repeat from * to the end of the row. This creates the valleys in between the peaks.
5. Repeat Rows 3-4: Continue repeating Rows 3 and 4 until your work measures 10 inches from the cast-on edge. This will give you a bold textured section.
6. Change to Garter Stitch:
   • Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row.
   • Row 2: Knit all stitches across the row again.
7. Continue in Garter Stitch: Keep knitting in garter stitch for an additional 5 inches. This will create a smooth section that contrasts with the textured peaks.
8. Switch Back to Textured Pattern:
   • Row 1: *P4, K4; repeat from * to the end of the row.
   • Row 2: *K4, P4; repeat from * to the end of the row.
9. Repeat Rows 1-2: Continue repeating these two rows until your work measures another 10 inches. This will add another set of peaks and valleys to your blanket.
10. Finish with Garter Stitch: Knit in garter stitch for the final 5 inches to complete the blanket. This will give a nice border around your textured pattern.
11. Bind Off: Once you have completed the final garter stitch section, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge is not tight.
12. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This will give your blanket a clean finish.

Your Textured Mountain Peaks Blanket is now complete! Enjoy the cozy warmth and beautiful texture as you snuggle up on chilly nights.
