Quietude Blanket

Quietude is a modern spin on the traditional cabled blanket. Cables flow in and out of ribbed columns, creating chevrons across the surface of the blanket, while eyelet cables lend a more delicate feeling to the finished fabric. Garter stitch ensures that the blanket edges lie flat. A solid or mostly solid color of yarn works best to highlight the rich texture in this design.

The blanket is worked flat in one piece in an aran-weight (or heavy worsted) yarn. The carriage blanket size is shown, and the pattern includes 2 larger sizes. The Cable Panel is written out and charted.
