Jackson's Blanket

Designed for the very special baby boy or girl in your life, Jackson’s Blanket is all about classic, timeless knitting textures that never go out of style. Moss-stitch columns highlight two different cables, each of which also features moss stitch set against a crisp stockinette background. Choose a solid or semi-solid color for this project to highlight both the yarn and the rich texture. The blanket is worked flat in one piece.
