The New England Mystery Blanket is a traditional Irish Aran design, modelled after a well-known mystery film sweater. It combines fishtail/rope cables, cable braids and a centre trellis design. Irish Aran knitting patterns have a long and rich history, originating in the Aran Islands, off the west coast of Ireland. Most commonly seen in sweaters, I have replicated those patterns here in blanket form.

SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate.

SUGGESTED MATERIALS: 9 balls of Alize Puffy yarn (3.53oz, 100g) (Image shown is the colour ‘310’).

SUGGESTED TOOLS: No needles required (finger knitting). Scissors.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: Approx. 45” x 50” (114 cm x 127 cm).

PLEASE NOTE: This pattern will work with any brand of loop yarn, but keep in mind that the size of the loops, and size of the balls/skeins of each brand is different.

Bernat Alize Blanket-EZ can be substituted and the blanket will be the same size, but you will need fewer skeins of yarn. Lion Brand Off-The-Hook, Lion Brand Crayola Off-The-Hook, and Red Heart Loop-It yarns can all be used with this pattern, but will yield a blanket with smaller overall dimensions. You will also need more balls/skeins to complete the pattern as is.
