Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, approximately 800 yards

• 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 100 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility in your throw.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches across the row. This will establish the first row of your throw.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row. This creates the foundation for the wave texture.
4. Row 3: Begin the wave pattern. *Knit 4 stitches, then purl 4 stitches; repeat from * to the end of the row.
5. Row 4: Continue the wave pattern. *Purl 4 stitches, then knit 4 stitches; repeat from * to the end of the row.
6. Row 5: Repeat Row 3 to continue building the texture.
7. Row 6: Repeat Row 4 to maintain the wave pattern.
8. Row 7: Knit all stitches across the row. This will create a smooth transition in the texture.
9. Row 8: Purl all stitches across the row. This will help to define the texture further.
10. Repeat Rows 3-8: Continue repeating Rows 3 through 8 until your throw measures approximately 60 inches long. Make sure to end with Row 8 to keep the pattern consistent.
11. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the edges.
12. Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in all loose ends to give your throw a clean finish.
13. Block the Throw: If desired, block your throw to measurements to enhance the texture and shape. This step is optional but can help achieve a polished look.
