Cable Baby Blankets by Daisy Gray Knits
What is Being Made
Two simple cable blanket designs for babies, created by independent designer Daisy Gray Knits. These are intermediate-level knitting projects that combine textured cable stitches with moss stitch detailing to produce soft, visually interesting blankets suitable for infants.
Designs Included
The pattern collection features the Moss & Cables design, which alternates between cable panels and moss stitch borders to create a balanced, decorative blanket with both visual texture and tactile interest.
Knitting Techniques Used
- Cable crossing technique using a cable needle to create twisted rope-like textures
- Moss stitch (alternating knit and purl stitches) for subtle textured borders
- Ribbed stitch sections for structured edges
- Circular needle knitting for seamless blanket construction
- Repeat pattern knitting for consistent design throughout
Stitches and Abbreviations
The pattern uses standard knitting abbreviations including K (knit), P (purl), rep (repeat), and sts (stitches). The primary decorative stitch is CB4 (cable back 4), which involves slipping 2 stitches onto a cable needle and holding them at the back of work, knitting 2 stitches as normal, then knitting the 2 stitches from the cable needle. This creates the characteristic twisted cable effect.
Materials Required
- Yarn: 250 grams of DK weight baby yarn (approximately 775 metres total yardage)
- Needles: Size 5 mm knitting needles; 80 cm circular needles are recommended for easier blanket construction
- Additional Tools: Cable needle for executing cable stitches
Difficulty Level
Rated as intermediate, these blankets are suitable for knitters with foundational skills who are ready to work with cable techniques and manage larger projects using circular needles.
