Jackson's Blanket
Introducing Jackson’s Blanket, the perfect knitting pattern designed for the very special baby boy or girl in your life. This charming blanket showcases classic and timeless knitting textures that never go out of style, making it a cherished keepsake for years to come. The design features moss-stitch columns that beautifully accentuate two different cable patterns, each adorned with moss stitch against a crisp stockinette background. For this project, we recommend selecting a solid or semi-solid color to truly highlight both the quality of your yarn and the rich texture of the design. The blanket is crafted flat in a single piece, ensuring a smooth and rewarding knitting experience.
