This design is shown in Interweave Knits, Spring 2010, but the pattern is only available online.

An afghan worked from the center out, beginning with a square panel. Borders are worked out from the center, allowing for three sizes in the pattern—baby blanket, afghan, and large counterpane bedspread. Cables, grafting, and charts.

A soft lofty organic cotton drapes without being too dense.
