This is my original pattern for a one-of-a-kind heirloom afghan. The pattern contains several traditional Irish knitting motifs - fancy twisted cables, nested hearts, bobbles, and braids. This project is knit in 5 pieces and seamed together at the end for a beautiful bedspread or large throw.

Pattern includes full charts, as well as written instructions.

Finished dimensions: approximately 50in x 64in

Errata:
Pattern v4
Panel B written instructions
WS Rows: K3 | Cabled Diamond | …

Panel C written instructions
RS Rows: K3, P2 | Plait | P2, K2, Sl WYIF

If you are still using v1 of the pattern, Panel B, Cable Variant should read:
Row 5: P2, T3B, P2, T3B, T3F, T3B, T3F, P2, T3F, P2
Row 11: K2, P3, K2, P3, K2, P2, K2, P3, K2, P3, K2

Materials needed:

  • approx 3800 yd worsted weight yarn (I used 12 skeins of Caron Simply Soft)
  • US7/4.5mm knitting needles
