This pattern is available from knitivity.com for $7.95.

Lightly textured blanket with cable sashes between heirloom styled panels.

Basic stitch repeat is 25 stitches wide and 18 rows tall. The original stitch repeat, knit with two strands of Knitivity Phydlbitz Sock on size 5 needle, is 4 inches wide and 2 inches tall. Yours may vary based on size/type yarn used, and size needles used.

Pattern for baby blanket is written so the knitter can add or eliminate sections as needed to make project wider or narrower, shorter or taller, such as a long rectangular stole, knitted in lace weight single strand on smaller needles to desired length, or knitted on larger needles with worsted weight to cover a full size bed.

Original blanket as pictured is knit with TWO strands of Phydlbitz held together throughout, working from undyed coned yarn, approximately 2.25-2.50 pounds, which would be 9 or 10 skeins of Phydlbitz (4300 yards), or about 2150 yards of sport weight knit single strand, but can be knit with any size yarn. I would recommend a solid color, in lighter tones, in order to highlight the texture and stitch patterns.

Pattern provides both charts and line-by-line instructions, with EVERY line included.

Pattern was tested and edited. Anyone purchasing within the first two weeks of release will automatically receive by email an updated copy with any corrections to the charts or text instructions, and an added notes or suggestions that knitters may provide.

Strongly recommend the use of stitch markers to separate cable sections from main pattern sections.
