“Featuring luscious cables, this blanket is inspired by the leaves and moss you can observe in the Autumn woods.

It will keep you cosy and warm when you come back from your walk to knit by the fire. With its repeating aspect it soon becomes a very meditative knit while still interesting enough to keep you invested.”
– Sol Le Roux

The blanket is knitted as a rectangle. It starts with a ribbing border, then the cable pattern is introduced and repeated throughout the blanket which ends with another ribbing border. An i-cord is worked on each side for a neat edge. The instructions are also given for a scarf version.
