Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, approximately 800 yards
• Needles: US Size 50 (25 mm) circular needles
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 60 stitches onto your circular needles. Ensure that your stitches are not twisted around the needle.
2. Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row. This will create a solid foundation for your blanket.
3. Row 2: Purl all stitches across the row. This will create a nice contrast to the previous row and start to build the texture.
4. Row 3: Begin the textured pattern. *Knit 1, purl 1* and repeat from * to the end of the row. This alternating pattern will create a beautiful pebble-like texture.
5. Row 4: Continue with the texture. *Purl 1, knit 1* and repeat from * to the end of the row. This will enhance the texture even further.
6. Repeat: Continue repeating Rows 1-4 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. Remember to check your work regularly to ensure you are maintaining the correct stitch count and tension.
7. Bind Off: Once you reach your desired length, bind off all stitches loosely. This is important to ensure that the edge of your blanket is not too tight.
8. Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This will give your blanket a clean finish and prevent any unraveling.

Congratulations! You've just completed your very own Cosmic Pebble Chunky Knit Blanket. Enjoy the warmth and style it brings to your home!
