Homewood
This lusciously cabled blanket is lighter than you might expect thanks to a combination of clever stitch pattern development and yarn choice. The Homewood cable—named after the grove of trees behind the designer’s home—balances sinewy, organic cables with large areas of negative space to create a modern, geometric arrangement of traditional cables that feels airy and elegant. The ribbed bands at the bottom and top edges flow unbroken into the cabled fabric and also establish clean side borders that keep the edges of the blanket from curling. Worked in a lofty, woolen-spun yarn at a chunky gauge, the fabric is surprisingly light and airy while still having the sturdy, substantial presence of a classic fisherman’s sweater.
