Pure Hand Knits by Linda Whaley.

A lightweight cabled baby blanket that’s perfect for springtime.

A deep garter stitch border frames and compliments the delicate cables and textures within this 4 Ply hand knit.

This blanket may look difficult, but if you know how to work a simple C4F (Cable 4 Front) C4B (Cable 4 Back) and C2F (Cable 2 Front) this could be your next cable knit project. Detailed row by row instructions and charts help to make this pattern easy to follow.
