Cable lovers, this one’s for you! Valley Yarns Forest Pansy is a stunning blanket comprised of four different cable blocks each worked in three colors for a delightful finished project. Designed to work in both Haydenville Bulky and Valley Superwash Bulky, your finished blanket will be soft, cozy, and machine-washable, making it a great choice for busy households. Each block is knit flat separately and a ribbed border is picked up and knit in the round after seaming—instructions are included to knit the blocks in rows to reduce seaming for another option. Forest Pansy is a fantastic choice for a wedding or housewarming gift, and it can also brighten your home and wrap your family in handmade warmth. Cable patterns are both charted and written out.
