Free Knitting Pattern – Cable Baby Blanket

A handmade blanket is a thoughtful and heartfelt gift that can be cherished for years to come. A cable baby blanket is a beautiful and timeless design that can be passed down through generations. It’s a perfect way to welcome a new baby into the world and to express your love and warmth to the new family.

One of the great things about handmade blankets is that they are unique and personal. Each one is made with care and attention to detail, and the finished product is a reflection of the love and dedication that went into its creation. The cable pattern adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the blanket.

A baby blanket can also be a keepsake, something that the child can treasure as they grow older. As the child grows, the blanket can be used for snuggling, as a security blanket, or even as a decorative throw in their room. The memories associated with the blanket can be passed down to future generations, making it a special family heirloom.

This particular pattern uses Bernat Baby’s Breath yarn, a soft and lightweight yarn that’s perfect for a baby blanket. The yarn is also machine washable and dryable, which makes it easy to care for. The pattern is free to download on the Mary Maxim website. It’s a great way to create a special and thoughtful gift for a new parent or to add a touch of warmth to a baby’s room.

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
