Extra-Big Braided Celtic Cable Saxon Braid Blanket

THIS IS A LOOP YARN FINGER-KNITTING PATTERN. The Extra-Big Braided Celtic Cable Saxon Braid blanket is an extra-large scale Celtic cable Saxon braid pattern, with braided cables and braided side panels. 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.
