It’s tomorrow. I tried what I wrote above and it works perfectly! I think it’s just in the interpretation of the original instructions. It confused me (novice knitter). But, now that I have done it, and still have the correct number of stitches, I know now that the original instructions are indeed correct! Sorry for any of my confusion. It was Craig’s ‘diagram’ to Jan that clinched it.

I’ve been pulling my hair out! I, too, have more stitches than I started with. Tammy and Jean Marie I’m glad I’m not the only one.
On rereading the pattern listed….and then the message to Jan, tomorrow I’m going to try:
*(K2tog) 3 times, (yo,kl) 6 times, (k2 tog) “6″ times* – not 3 times; and will repeat * to * across in hopes that at the end I will (k2tog) 3 times and will have the same number of stitches I started with.
Hope this is the answer to the puzzle.

Hi Gabrielle, yes, to make the Wave Blanket wider, add multiples of 18 stitches. If you measure 18 stitches on your first blanket, you’ll know how many inches each multiple will add.

As you blanket gets wider, your stripes will get narrower. You could knit 2 balls of each color, one after the other, to keep the stripes wide; or you could just repeat or add more colors.

Hope that helps!

Hi Craig – I am on my second wave blanket. The first one I made last year for my Godson was an absolute hit – if I get more technologically advanced I’ll send pictures! Before I start blanket #2 (for my bubba #3) I wanted to make it bigger (more cot size) – is there an easy way to do this or work this out? Thanks a million

Thank you for publishing this pattern. I had started a baby afghan with this pattern a few years ago but for various reasons did not finish it. Recently I decided to try to finish the afghan but had misplaced the pattern and was so glad to find it online. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I’ve started this pattern but I’ve noticed that my rows don’t look as wide as the ones listed. I do have the wave started but it looks weird. Do you really only repeat the rows twice before switching colors?
Thank you in advance for any help provided.

“yo” stands for yarn over. Just wrap the yarn around the right hand needle before knitting the next stitch.
