Notes

Trying to make a baby sized blanket this time, as the last blanket ended up too big.

I like the colours together for a baby boy, so I am going with them again, but adding a darker blue for the centre diamond panel

Decreased chains to 144, cutting off at least 10 cables, so shouldn’t be too big this time. I am also not going to do the full cable-arrow-cable panels in between the pattern panels, as I think it may be a little overpowering for a small blanket. We will see, here goes….

I decided to alternate the cable and arrow panels in white so it didn’t make the blanket too wide.

For the border top and bottom, i didn’t want it to be too fussy, so I just worked a sc in the the 1st space in between the woven st and worked 4 hdc in next space all along.

Stats:-
144 ch = 143 sc
47 cables 4.00mm hook
35 arrows 3.75 mm hook
basket-weave 3.00 mm hook
diamond = 3.50 mm hook and decrease 7 sts to 136.
65 woven st.
