Texture, texture, texture. That’s what I love when knitting up a blanket to adorn a new baby or my living room couch.

This blanket has texture galore with pretty embossed pendant shapes individually bordered by cabled arches – creating a stunning overall scalloped design.

Strategically placed increases and decreases, a few cable crosses, and knit and purls are all it takes to knit up this gorgeousness. Charted and written out so you can follow your preference.

Knit-in Garter stitch borders add a neat finished edge all around and make this a one-piece project with only the loose ends to weave in at finishing.

Blocking brings out the true beauty of this stitchwork and worsted-weight yarn makes it a medium weight blanket perfect for all seasons (and ideal for many yarn options).

Pattern includes the baby blanket size, shown here, as well as a lap and throw size.
