About this pattern

  • Pattern construction: The blanket is knitted in rows. Turn your work after every row;
  • Use stitch markers to mark the border at the sides;
  • The cable: When knitting this cable, take your time to follow all of the steps. The cable looks harder than it is;
  • Flexible bind off: To make sure the bind off doesn’t pull too much, bind off the first 4 stitches as normal. After these 4 stitches, yo, pass 1st over. Repeat until all stitches have been bound off.
