Sometimes you just need a small blanket just to give you that extra bit of warmth when the weather is cool.

This throw fits nicely over the end of your bed, on the edge of a sofa or over your knees to keep you cosy.

The pattern is moss stitch with cable and can be kept to the size recommended here or made larger to whatever size suits you.

We’ve recommended aran weight yarn, the equivalent is a heavy worsted in the US and will make a slightly larger blanket.

The pattern is more suited towards a beginner with a little bit of experience and would be a good introduction to cables.
