The softest organic cotton cables are designed to wrap a baby in pure luxury.

This blanket is designed to be knit in five pieces (so that friends, aunties, and grandparents can all contribute knitting time) and then sewn together. The pieces vary from a basic left-twist cable (realistic for a first-time foray into the world of cables) to a complex Celtic knot.

The difficulty level for each piece is noted in the pattern.

Errata per the designer:
On page 121, in the left-hand column, after working Row 39 and working Rows 18-61 of Chart C 4 times, work Rows 18-44 of Chart C once (not Rows 18-54 as stated).

On page 123, the fourth symbol down on the left of the key should read as follows: “Make 1 purlwise on RS, make 1 knitwise on WS.”

On page 123, in Chart C, Row 48, stitch #13 and #16 should be purl dots, and should be worked as knit stitches on the WS.

On page 123, in Chart C, Row 50, stitch #12 and #17 should be blank, and should be worked as purl stitches on the WS.
