The Aran Caresse Cable Afghan is a modular design, knitted in separate strips, which are then joined together in such a way that the join resembles another cable.

The yarn was held double and knitted with 7mm knitting needles. Any yarn suitable to 6 mm or 7 mm knitting needles, will yield a satisfactory result.

It is also easy to adjust the pattern for another yarn weight. Simply repeat the pattern until the strips are to the length you require. If you need to make the blanket wider, repeat some of the panels.

The pattern is available in three sizes:
Large (2 x 2 m)
Medium (1.75 x 1.75 m)
Small (1.5 x 1.5 m).

The yarn requirements are as follows:
Large: 84 balls (7 full packs)
Medium: 72 balls (6 full packs)
Small: 60 balls (5 full packs)
