Bubble Tea
Introducing our stunning Bubble Cable Knit Throw—a perfect blend of style and comfort ideal for modern living rooms or as a cozy baby blanket for a nursery. This elegant all-over cable pattern features a unique bubble cable repeat that not only enhances the visual appeal but also makes it a joy to knit. Crafted using a beautiful, superwash DK weight yarn, this blanket promises easy care while offering warmth and comfort throughout the fall season.
Yarn: For this project, we recommend using Brown Sheep Stratosphere, a soft, luxurious 100% Superwash Wool yarn that provides both durability and easy maintenance. Each skein offers 260 yards (100 grams), and you will need 5 skeins to complete this lovely throw. The pattern is showcased here in the enchanting Tree Line colorway, perfect for adding a touch of nature-inspired beauty to your home.
Needles: To get started, grab a set of US 7 (4.5 mm) circular needles, at least 24 inches in length or longer as desired, to accommodate the large stitch count. Utilizing circular needles not only simplifies the process of knitting this blanket back and forth but also helps manage the bulk of the yarn comfortably.
Notions: Essential tools for this project include a tapestry needle for neatly weaving in ends, a cable needle to assist with intricate cable work, and optional stitch markers, which can be handy for marking repeats and keeping your knitting organized.
Gauge: It's important to achieve the correct gauge for your project. The cable motif should measure 20 stitches over 3.75 inches and 16 rows over 2.5 inches when blocked. Checking your gauge is crucial to ensure that your throw will turn out the perfect size.
Finished Size: Once completed, the Bubble Cable Knit Throw will measure approximately 32 inches by 40 inches—an ideal size for snuggling up on chilly evenings or providing warmth for your little one.
This delightful knitting project is suitable for knitters of varying skill levels, especially those who've mastered basic knitting techniques and are ready to explore cables. Yarn support has been generously provided by Brown Sheep, and the pattern has been expertly tech edited by Lisa Beth Houchins to ensure clear instructions and ease of use.
