BERNAT KNIT COPIOUS CABLE BLANKET

The Bernat Knit Copious Cable Blanket is a beautiful project that showcases intricate cable designs. Here’s a basic guide to help you get started on knitting this cozy blanket:

Materials:

• Bernat yarn in the color and weight of your choice
• Knitting needles suitable for your yarn weight (usually recommended on the yarn label)
• Cable needle or double-pointed needle
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Instructions:

1. Choose the size of your blanket and determine the number of stitches you’ll need. You can refer to the pattern for specific instructions on sizing and stitch counts.
2. Start by casting on the required number of stitches. You may want to use a larger needle size for the cast-on row to ensure it’s not too tight.
3. Begin with the cable pattern:
   • Follow the pattern instructions for the cable stitch pattern, which will include the number of stitches involved and the specific cable design.
   • Generally, cables involve slipping stitches onto a cable needle or double-pointed needle and holding them either in front or in the back of your work while you knit or purl the next set of stitches.
   • Repeat the cable pattern as directed in the pattern for the desired length of your blanket. It may be helpful to place stitch markers between each repeat of the cable pattern to keep track of your progress.
4. Once you’ve completed the desired length of the cable pattern, finish with a few rows of ribbing or a border pattern, as indicated in the pattern. This will help give the blanket a finished look.
5. Bind off all stitches, ensuring your bind-off edge isn’t too tight. You can use a larger needle size for the bind-off row if necessary.
6. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
7. Block your finished blanket by gently wetting it, shaping it to the desired dimensions, and allowing it to dry flat. This will help even out the stitches and give your blanket a polished look.
8. Your Bernat Knit Copious Cable Blanket is now complete and ready to keep you warm and cozy!
