Lush Blanket – Free Knitting Pattern: Instant PDF Download

Size: 32″ x 38″

Cables and lace come together beautifully in this lush blanket pattern, a throw-sized project with real heirloom appeal. Worked in three separate panels and joined for a rich, dimensional finish, this textured stitch design pairs raised cable columns with soft eyelet lace for a look that’s equal parts cozy and refined. Knit in a bulky yarn, it stitches up relatively quickly and makes a lovely baby blanket, lap throw, or handmade gift for someone who appreciates cables patterns done well.
