New England Mystery Blanket

THIS IS A LOOP YARN FINGER-KNITTING PATTERN. The New England Mystery Blanket is a traditional Irish Aran design, modelled after a well-known mystery film sweater. It combines fishtail/rope cables, cable braids and a centre trellis design. Irish Aran knitting patterns have a long and rich history, originating in the Aran Islands, off the west coast of Ireland. Most commonly seen in sweaters, I have replicated those patterns here in blanket form. UK knitters can substitute Bernat Alize Blanket-EZ yarn for a blanket of approximately the same size - you will only need 5 skeins.
