Bantry Bay Blanket

Knit in the round from the center out, this stunning cabled cozy blanket is a veritable sampler of unique cables and features a charming broken rib edging. Measuring just over 38” x 38”, it’s the perfect size and weight for snuggling up on the couch! Crafted from super-bulky acrylic yarn (approximately 750 yards used), this cozy blanket knits up quickly, providing both warmth and comfort while being lightweight and machine washable. We provide both charted and written directions to guide you through the process!

· To successfully complete this pattern, you MUST be proficient in knitting in the round, starting with just 8 stitches and skillfully increasing to almost 350 stitches for a beautifully expansive finish.

· If you decide to use a different yarn for your project, keep in mind that your blanket may end up heavier than my original version. It's essential to select a yarn that is lofty yet spun tightly to maintain crisp stitch definition; avoid fuzzy yarns like mohair, as they won't showcase the intricate cable designs as beautifully as this pattern intends.

This cozy blanket not only serves as an excellent knitting project but also makes a fantastic gift for loved ones or a stylish addition to your home decor. Whether draped over a couch or used as a lovely throw, it’s bound to bring warmth and texture to any space.
