Cotton & Cables Blanket
Introducing a stunning cabled blanket available in three versatile sizes: ideal for car seats, cribs, and as a cozy throw. This beautifully crafted blanket will not only provide warmth but also add a touch of elegance to any nursery or living space.
**Finished Measurements:** Choose the perfect size for your needs: - Car-seat: 18” x 28” (46cm x 66cm) - Crib: 27” x 38” (71cm x 96.5cm) - Throw: 45” x 59” (114.5cm x 150cm)
**Yarn Requirements:** For this project, you'll need **Debbie Bliss Eco Aran**, a luxurious yarn made from 100% Organic Cotton. This yarn is known for its soft and gentle feel against the skin, making it perfect for babies and adults alike. You will require: - 8 balls (Car-seat size), - 17 balls (Crib size), - 43 balls (Throw size). This translates to approximately 600 meters (Car-seat), 1275 meters (Crib), and 3225 meters (Throw) of worsted weight yarn.
**Needles:** To bring your beautiful cabled blanket to life, you'll need size 7 (4.5mm) circular knitting needles in the following lengths: - 24” (61cm) for the Car-seat version, - 32” (81.5cm) for the Crib version, - 40” (102cm) for the Throw version.
**Gauge:** Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 18 stitches and 24 rows per 4”/10cm in Stockinette Stitch using the larger sized needles. This will ensure your cabled blanket turns out beautifully and maintains its shape over time.
**Pattern Directions:** The intricate design of the cable panel is presented in both charted and written formats, making it accessible for knitters of all experience levels—whether you're a beginner looking to tackle a new challenge or experienced in cable knitting.
