This sweet, simple baby blanket design features a simple slip-stitch combined with cable technique. It is suitable for late beginner or early intermediate knitters and up. It is particularly beautiful in Farmablefibres 100% Cotton, but could be worked in any worsted weight yarn and could be altered to suit a lighter weight yarn or to be wider by casting on extra stitches and adding an extra pattern repeat or two.

The slip-stitch pattern is attractive to babies and young children due to the gentle raised texture that it creates.
