Celtic Cable Saxon Braid Baby Blanket

THIS IS A LOOP YARN FINGER-KNITTING PATTERN. The Celtic Cable Saxon Braid Baby Blanket is a mixed pattern of cables of different sizes with a centre pattern of a repeating Saxon braid. The Saxon braid is a common feature and centrepiece of Irish Aran knitting. 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. This pattern is a re-interpretation of my full-size Chunky Celtic Cable Saxon Braid Blanket pattern in a smaller size.
