With big cable impact and texture that looks great on both sides, the Merrin Blanket makes a perfect statement piece for the nursery or living room—or an unforgettable gift.

The textured cable pattern is both fully written and charted.

Important Yardage Note: This blanket is a yarn hog. The wraps that make it look cool on both sides require extra yarn, so you may be surprised at how much yarn is needed for this fairly small baby blanket/throw. But on the flip side, all that extra yarn means it’s extra cushy and snuggly!
