North of the River

North of the River chunky cable blanket knitting pattern features big, bold cables and a simple seed stitch border.

Super bulky yarn gives classic cables a modern look.

DIRECTIONS FOR THREE SIZES:

Approximate sizes after blocking…

Large (5 cables): 45” wide x 56” long

Medium (4 cables): 37.75” wide x 49” long

Small (3 cables): 30.5” wide x 42” long

Any of the blanket sizes may be made longer by adding pattern repeats. Each pattern repeat adds about 7” to the length of the blanket.

Experience with basic cable knitting is highly recommended.

For best results…blocking of finished blanket is recommended.

SUPER BULKY YARN:

Large: 925 - 975 yards

Medium: 700 - 725 yards

Small: 475 - 500 yards

I used Lion Brand Hometown USA in the color “Chicago Charcoal”.

GAUGE: Stockinette stitch with US size 15 needles: approximately 8 stitches & 11 rows = 4”
