This darling blanket is bias knit, lending it a beautiful drape. Its bold stitch pattern is striking in solid yarns, but also highlights shifting colors in variegated yarns. The thick, squishy cabled border mimics a shawl collar, embracing baby in a cozy hug. Such details make this a unique knit.

Yarns:
Any worsted weight yarn will work well for this project

• Main Color (MC): 1,000 yds (914 m) worsted (MC shown in variegated rainbow)
• Contrasting Color (CC): 900 yds (823 m) worsted (CC shown in green)

The project pictured was knitted with Malabrigo Rios (“Arco Iris” MC and “Fresco y Seco” CC), however, any worsted weight yarn works up superbly in this pattern.

Final Size: 32 in x 42 in (81 cm x 107 cm). Instructions are included to modify the blanket size according to the knitter’s choosing.
