Comet Trails Blanket

Please also see the matching Cowl, Scarf and Wrap. These 4 patterns can be purchased together in the Comet Trails Collection ebook.

The Comet Trails Blanket features a repeating cable motif that looks strikingly different in each repetition. In actuality, the cabling is the same for each motif, only the colour placement changes.

Fission Knitting is a reversible knitting technique where two yarns are worked in a marl. It creates a super squishy fabric with different raised colourwork cables on each side of the fabric. This motif is designed so you will practice each Fission Knitting stitch before moving onto the next. But you won’t have to wait – you will see the reversible magic start to happen within the first few rows! Please see the Yarniverse information below for a full workshop on the working these designs.

The Comet Trails Blanket builds on the skills from the Comet Trails Cowl & Scarf but can also be worked as a first Fission Knitting project. You will learn how to establish the colour of each cable element – then watch that how that colour intertwines up the length of the blanket.
