What you need to know

In this fifth part of the cable blanket knitalong, we’ll be creating the final knitted panel – and Stuart says he’s saved the best until last. “This band uses cables to the front and back but also to the left and right, too” he explains. “The cables travel across a background of reverse stocking stitch, so whilst I’ve still included directions for every alternate row, you can try to recognise the knit and purl stitches for yourself, so that you don’t have to constantly refer to the pattern.” We can’t wait to see how you get on with this week’s make and can’t believe the knitalong is almost over! Let’s get stuck in.
