Designer Notes:

Note, please. In Version 3 (the version downloaded on or before Dec 14), There is a typo in Row 17, the blue font. C3 should be C3R. The pattern has been updated . Anyone who has purchased the pattern will receive an update notice

This blanket has been made 4 times so far. It’s a great stash buster, but I do buy the yarn for the borders, since the borders unify the blanket.

This pattern is worked flat from the bottom up, with a cable pattern that you can choose to work from either the chart or the written directions. Inspired by the fitted garments of the 1940s, it uses a change in needle size to create waist shaping. This is a great pattern for confident knitters looking for a challenge.

Note: in the pattern I recommended the crochet chain provisional cast on. I now prefer the crochet provisional cast on where the stitches are placed right on the knitting needle. I highly recommend this one over the chain method.
