Circle-circle Blanket

This beautifully crafted blanket features an intricate cable design, elegantly bracketed by a textured border that is masterfully worked at a slight angle. The main body of the blanket showcases a classic stockinette stitch complemented by a narrow textured border, creating a stunning visual contrast. You have the option to knit this design in a single, solid color for a sleek look or utilize intarsia techniques to highlight the cable band with multiple colors.

For those opting for a single-color version using fingering weight yarn, you'll need approximately 800 yards (730 meters). The lovely blue blanket example required 3 balls of blue yarn, 1 ball of green-yellow, and partial balls of yellow and white to achieve its delightful color palette.

If you're considering a single-color blanket in DK weight yarn, plan to use around 1,000 yards (914 meters). An exquisite example of this version used 4 balls of cream, alongside 1 ball of yellow, and partial amounts of blue, green, purple, and a print yarn to create a unique fusion of colors.

To successfully navigate this project, 6 stitch markers and a cable needle are highly recommended, ensuring your work remains precise and organized throughout the knitting process.

The accompanying pattern includes detailed charts for the cable and texture patterns, along with clear diagrams for both the starting and ending corners. Instructions are thoughtfully provided for constructing these corners, making the knitting experience smooth and enjoyable. Additionally, I've included the stitch counts required to craft a larger blanket with more cable repeats for those looking to expand on the design.

This versatile and engaging knitting pattern is ideal for knitters of varying experience levels and offers a wonderful opportunity to enhance your skills while creating a stunning blanket. Whether you choose to knit it as a gift or for personal use, this blanket is sure to bring warmth and style to any space.
