KNITTING PATTERN -- Blue Bells Pram Blanket - P205
Simple cable texture makes this blanket both fun, and a great introduction to cables.
Would make the perfect gift to new parents. This blanket holds your attention yet is an easy knit, and the pattern is easily memorised. Understated and timeless, a super soft squishy blanket, which is easy to customize in terms of size.
SKILL LEVEL - Intermediate
The pattern is written out in full, row by row. I recommend lightly blocking your blanket to allow the beautiful bell shaped cables to blossom.
