Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn (approx. 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 US size 15 knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility in your throw.
2. Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row. This establishes your base row.
3. Row 2: Begin the ribbing pattern by *knitting 2 stitches, then purling 2 stitches*. Repeat from * to the end of the row. This creates a textured foundation.
4. Row 3: Knit all stitches again. This will help to create a smooth transition between the ribbing and the next row.
5. Row 4: Switch to the opposite ribbing pattern by *purling 2 stitches, then knitting 2 stitches*. Repeat from * to the end of the row.
6. Repeat Rows 1-4: Continue repeating these four rows until your work measures approximately 10 inches from the cast-on edge. This will form the first section of your throw.
7. Switch to Wave Pattern: Now, we will create the wave pattern.
   1. Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row.
   2. Row 2: *Knit 3 stitches, then purl 1 stitch*. Repeat from * to the end of the row.
   3. Row 3: Knit all stitches again.
   4. Row 4: *Purl 1 stitch, then knit 3 stitches*. Repeat from * to the end of the row.
8. Continue Wave Pattern: Keep repeating the wave pattern (Rows 1-4) until your work measures approximately 20 inches from the last section. This will create the beautiful wave texture.
9. Return to Initial Pattern: After completing the wave section, switch back to the initial ribbing pattern (Rows 1-4) and continue knitting until your work measures an additional 10 inches.
10. Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge is not too tight.
11. Weave in Ends: Finally, use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This will give your throw a clean finish.

The finished throw will be a luxurious, oversized blanket measuring approximately 50 inches by 60 inches, featuring a rich, deep navy blue color with a subtle sheen. Enjoy your new Textured Waves Chunky Throw, perfect for cozy evenings!
