The “Like a Sweater” Blanket features three chunky cables and a classic seed stitch border. The blanket is knit with super bulky #6 weight yarn on big needles.

The “Like a Sweater” Blanket was inspired by a conversation with my teenage daughter when she was watching me knit:
Daughter: Do you know how to knit cables Mom?
Me: Yes…it’s done with a special cable needle. (demonstrated using my work in progress)
Daughter: Would you be able to make me a blanket that lookslike a sweater?
Me: What do you mean“a blanket that looks like a sweater”?
Daughter: A thick, chunky blanket with big cables…like a sweater!
Throughout the designing and knitting process, I knew the name for this blanket would be… “Like a Sweater”.
