The contrasting cables and garter stitch sections running along this blanket remind me of the ripples left on the beach when the tide recedes, creating a maze of tiny sandbars. The cables add warmth as well as texture and the unisex design makes it a great option for a baby shower gift.

The blanket is worked all in one and instructions are given for three sizes, making it ideal for a car seat, buggy or Moses basket. Instructions for the cable pattern are written out as well as charted, so you can follow whichever version you prefer to work from.
