Miranda and Tom Blanket

If you're looking for a delightful knitting project, this versatile blanket pattern is the perfect choice! Designed in two sizes, both blankets are worked in cozy worsted weight yarn, making them ideal for any knitter. Tom's blanket is a snug fit that keeps a baby warm and cozy in their cot or pram, ensuring that your little one is wrapped in comfort. On the other hand, Miranda's blanket is larger, perfect for tucking over your knees while relaxing on the couch during chilly evenings.

The larger Miranda blanket measures 75 cm (29.5 in) wide and 115 cm (45 in) long, while the small Tom blanket is also 75 cm (29.5 in) wide but measures 90 cm (35.5 in) long. Both blankets feature a unique, textured design achieved through a combination of intricate cables and simple lace techniques, which creates a beautiful diagonal pattern across the fabric. The cable crosses cleverly change direction throughout the design, flowing from one corner to the other, adding an artistic touch to each piece.

This knitting pattern is available in three convenient formats: you can choose between detailed charts or line-by-line instructions for both blanket sizes. For tech-savvy knitters, there's also a separate PDF that showcases both blankets as one complete chart, designed specifically for use on electronic devices. Each of these three options is sold as a separate PDF file, and all are included in the purchase price, ensuring you have everything you need to start your knitting journey.

The yarn required for the larger Miranda blanket is approximately 730 metres (800 yards), making it an accessible project for knitters of all skill levels. Whether you’re creating a thoughtful gift for a new parent or treating yourself to a cozy addition for your home, this blanket pattern is sure to keep your hands busy and your heart warm. Don’t miss out on this perfect knitting adventure!
