Design

The Snow Fern Blanket works up quickly with Super Bulky weight yarn. Worked back and forth on long circular needles. The Snow Fern stitch pattern features cables that slowly taper outwards and inwards, creating fern-like shapes. Pattern is written in one size but you can easily remove or add an 18-st, 40-row repeat to create a smaller or larger blanket (see gauge). All repeats appear in bold text throughout pattern. The pattern is charted and also includes separate written instructions.
