Step: 1

FINISHING MEASUREMENTS
Approximately 30-inches/76cm x 34-incheds/86.5cm.

Step: 2

GAUGE
In pattern st, 32 sts and 32 rows = 4-inches/10cm.
Ripple st panel, 20 sts = 2¾-inches/7cm.
Cable/Bobble st panel, 12 sts = 1¾-inches/4.5cm.

Step: 3

NOTE
This 2 sided blanket is achieved by alternating 3 stitch pattern panels each worked in 6 row repeats.

Step: 4

The Ripple stitch pattern alternates 3 rows in Stockinette st and 3 rows in Reverse St st.

Step: 5

The Cable/Bobble stitch patterns are the same stitch pattern worked in staggered repeat rows to put cables on one side of the fabric and bobbles on the reverse side. Both stitch patterns appear on both sides.

Step: 6

It may be helpful to place markers between each separate pattern.

Step: 7

STITCH TERMS
Pass 2nd st over 1st st: Pass the second stitch on the right hand needle over the first stitch on the right hand needle.

Step: 8

Step: 35

Rep Rows 1-3 once.

Step: 36

BO as foll: *K 1, yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st, pass 2nd st over 1st st. When all sts have been BO (yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st at each corner), continue down the first side of the blanket as foll: *pick up (pu) 1 st, yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st, pass 2nd st over 1st st; rep from * to next corner. Rep (pu 1 st, yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st, pass 2nd st over 1st st) across CO foundation and second side for finishing foundation.

Step: 37

BLANKET
With circular needle, CO 244 sts. Do not join. Work in Pattern Sequence foll each row pattern rep for 243 rows.

Step: 38

FINISHING BORDER
On BO side (opposite CO side): Working along BO side, pu 1 st, yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st, pass 2nd st over 1st st; pu 1 st in next st, yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st, pass 2nd st over 1st st, yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st, *skip next 2 sts, (pu 1 st, yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st, pass 2nd st over 1st st, yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st, skip next st) 2 times; (pu 1 st, yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st, pass 2nd st over 1st st, yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st - in each of next 4 sts), (skip next st, pu 1 st, yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st, pass 2nd st over 1st st, yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st) 2 times, (skip next 2 sts, pu 1 st, yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st, pass 2nd st over 1st st, yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st) 6 times; rep across this edge ending with “(skip next 2 sts, pu 1 st, yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st, pass 2nd st over 1st st, yo, pass 2nd st over 1st st) 2 times instead of 6 times.
