Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, approximately 800 yards
• Needles: US size 15 (10mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in pattern 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; they should slide comfortably on the needle.
2. Row 1 (Right Side):
   • Start by knitting the first 4 stitches.
   • Next, purl the next 4 stitches.
   • Repeat the sequence of *Knit 4, Purl 4* until you reach the end of the row.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side):
   • Begin by purling the first 4 stitches.
   • Then, knit the next 4 stitches.
   • Continue to repeat *Purl 4, Knit 4* until the end of the row.
4. Row 3:
   • Start with purling the first 4 stitches.
   • Knit the next 4 stitches.
   • Repeat *Purl 4, Knit 4* until the end of the row.
5. Row 4:
   • Begin with knitting the first 4 stitches.
   • Purl the next 4 stitches.
   • Repeat *Knit 4, Purl 4* until the end of the row.
6. Repeat Rows 1-4: Continue repeating Rows 1 through 4 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length, or your desired length.
7. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely. This will ensure that the edge of your blanket is not too tight.
8. Weave in Ends: Finally, use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This will give your blanket a clean finish.

The finished Tidal Wave Textured Blanket will measure approximately 50 inches wide by 60 inches long. It features a deeply textured pattern with alternating blocks of knit and purl stitches, creating a wave-like effect across the surface. The yarn is a rich, deep ocean blue, reminiscent of the sea, with a soft, plush feel. This chunky knit blanket is perfect for draping over a sofa or layering on a bed, adding both warmth and style to your home.
