Pattern Format: 📥📬 Available as Digital Download or Printed Copy (choose option below). This is a Naturally knitting pattern; yarn, needles and the finished item are not included.
Construction and Skill Guidance
Worked flat in one piece, with the borders included as you knit. The cable and wide-rib fabric needs gentle blocking to achieve the photographed appearance and stated width.
Suggested skill level: Intermediate. You’ll use knit and purl texture, cable crossings, colour changes and blocking.
Sizing and Measurements
Finished measurements are approximate and apply after blocking.
| Measurement | One size |
|---|---|
| Width after blocking (cm) | 75 |
| Length after blocking (cm) | 100 |
Yarn Requirements
The original yarn is Lammermoor Organic DK/8ply, approximately 119 m per 50 g. Keep the two colour allowances separate.
| Colour | Yarn allowance (m) |
|---|---|
| A — sample #80 | 595 |
| B — sample #81 | 595 |
| Total | 1190 |
Work with a single strand. Metreages are approximate yarn allowances converted from the original pattern quantities, rather than measured consumption. Allow extra for swatching or changes in size. Check a washed and dried swatch before starting.
You’ll Need
- 3.75mm and 4mm straight needles
- Cable needle
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends and blocking pins
Tension
22 stitches and 30 rows to 10cm in stocking stitch on 4mm needles. The finished blanket is worked in wide rib and cables, rather than stocking stitch.
