This cozy throw blanket features a motif of cabled X’s on a field of wide ribbing, creating the illusion of a continuous diamond pattern.

Notes
The blanket is knit flat from the bottom up and features an all-over cable motif framed by a seed stitch border. The pattern is both charted and included in written instructions.
