This cosy cabled DK baby blanket will keep baby snug and warm in a buggy, moses basket and crib.

A simple cable repeat makes this any easy and relaxing knit, and the perfect project for new knitters who want to move onto knitting cables.
This easy to read knitting patterns has separate detailed row by row instructions and one simple cable stitch, a C4F (cable 4 front) to work.

Worked back and forth on 3 3/4 & 4mm (US5 & US6) needles. Choose either a pair long (40cms) single pointed needles or a fixed circular needle to complete this project.

This cabled baby blanket is a beautiful blanket for a baby boy or baby girl as it looks very special in any colour…. cream and neutral colours, fun brights, softer prettier colours, and boyish blues.

The blankets shown here have been hand-knitted in 100% DK cotton. Choose a DK cotton, merino wool, a wool mix yarn or acrylic that is knitted on 4mm (US6) needles.
