Taleisin was a 6th Century bard who’d gained wisdom by accident from the goddess Cerridwen while tending her cauldron. He lived in the kingdom of the Dal Riata as a musician and story teller.

The Taleisin Blanket is worked in worsted weight yarn in a solid or heathered shade with cable motifs. The blanket shown in the photos was worked in Briggs & Little Regal Fir, a very durable wool yarn, but any solid or heathered worsted weight yarn will do.

The simple four-stitch cable motifs have both charted and written instructions within the 10 page pattern.

The length of the blanket is your choice and can be chosen as a lap blanket, throw, or wrap. Photos show a full-length throw, perfect for use on the couch but also handy to be worn with or without a broach or shawl pin. The ribbed sections allow a drape suitable for a shawl.

With 7 hanks of Regal, the width of the blanket shown is 25” unstretched and the length is 64” for a full-length throw with 8 repeats of the cable motifs.
