Snuggle the little one up in the XOXO blanket, a wonderful gift to someone you love - or maybe to yourself?

The blanket is knitted in a simple cable pattern in English with written directions row by row. It has even pictures and links to videos on how to knit the cables.

There are two sizes included in the pattern, but you can easily make it wider and longer if you want to.

Skill level 2: Easy

You will need:

• Circular needles US 6/ 4 mm/ UK 8, 32 in/80 cm

The blanket in the pictures is knitted in Drops Merino Extra Fine (1 skein = 50 grams/115 yards).
