Available in multiple sizes – Small, Stroller, Receiving, and Toddler – this blanket can cater to varying needs. It measures Width: 32 (36, 41, 50)”/81 (91.5, 104, 127)cm and Length: 28 (30, 40, 42)”/71 (76, 101.5, 106.5)cm, making it suitable for everything from cribs to play mats.
For materials, you'll need 6 (7, 11, 13) skeins of Cascade Yarns ReVerb, which offers 273 yards (250m) per skein and is composed of 70% polyester and 30% alpaca. The shown color is #02 Silver Gray, but feel free to get creative with your color choices! Alternatively, you can substitute a chunky yarn that matches your style, simply dividing the total yardage in half for the right amount.
To bring this pattern to life, you'll require some knitting tools: a US 10 (6mm) 32”/80cm or longer circular needle – or a size that helps you achieve the proper gauge – and a US 9 (5.5mm) needle of your desired length for the edging. Additionally, you will need a cable or a spare needle for working the cables, as well as 6 (7, 8, 10) stitch markers to keep your project organized.
For gauge, aim for 14 stitches and 20 rows = 4”/10cm in stockinette when using the larger needles along with two strands of yarn. This will ensure that your blanket not only looks great but is also soft and durable for everyday use.
