Most rows are plain knitting. Just three pattern rows in every ten do all the work, which is how a blanket that looks textured and considered comes out of nothing more than knit and purl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat rhythm is the point. You get long stretches where nothing much is asked of you, then a short burst of concentration, then back onto easy ground. It is a forgiving way to learn to read your own knitting, and a blanket is forgiving about finished size in a way a garment never is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit is knitted in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/orry-yarn-merino-dk\"\u003eOrry Yarn Merino DK\u003c\/a\u003e, our own soft, springy, ethically sourced merino.

Nothing here is worked in the round. The Baby size casts on 127 stitches and the Toddler size 161, which is roughly 58 cm and 73 cm of fabric. The Baby size will sit on a long pair of straights if that is what you already own. The Toddler size really wants a cable, and an 80 cm circular handles both sizes comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechniques used:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong tail cast on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnit and purl worked in a simple ten row repeat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReading a written pattern row by row\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing stitch markers to separate the garter edge from the patterned centre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple cast off and weaving in ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA genuine beginner project that does not look like one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong stretches of plain knitting, so it is easy to pick up and put down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnitted in merino chosen for softness against new skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNamed for Cassillis in Carrick, and the old Ayrshire ballad that travelled from there and is still sung\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize modifications and knitting tips at the back of the pattern, drawn from years of teaching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Orry Yarn","offers":[{"title":"Woodland Bluebell 010 \/ Baby","offer_id":59148800590198,"sku":null,"price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Woodland Bluebell 010 \/ Toddler","offer_id":59148800622966,"sku":null,"price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Haar 015 \/ Baby","offer_id":59148800459126,"sku":null,"price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Haar 015 \/ Toddler","offer_id":59148800491894,"sku":null,"price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Eider Duck 014 \/ Baby","offer_id":59148826739062,"sku":null,"price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Eider Duck 014 \/ Toddler","offer_id":59148826771830,"sku":null,"price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Luskentyre 013 \/ Baby","offer_id":59148800524662,"sku":null,"price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Luskentyre 013 \/ Toddler","offer_id":59148800557430,"sku":null,"price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Peatstone 012 \/ Baby","offer_id":59148817367414,"sku":null,"price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Peatstone 012 \/ Toddler","offer_id":59148817400182,"sku":null,"price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Willowherb 011 \/ Baby","offer_id":59148811731318,"sku":null,"price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Willowherb 011 \/ Toddler","offer_id":59148811764086,"sku":null,"price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Seafoam 009 \/ Baby","offer_id":59148800655734,"sku":null,"price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Seafoam 009 \/ Toddler","offer_id":59148800688502,"sku":null,"price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fenwick Moor 008 \/ Baby","offer_id":59148817432950,"sku":null,"price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fenwick Moor 008 \/ Toddler","offer_id":59148817465718,"sku":null,"price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gorse 006 \/ Baby","offer_id":59148800721270,"sku":null,"price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gorse 006 \/ Toddler","offer_id":59148800754038,"sku":null,"price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/9340\/1659\/files\/IMG_7668_d7edc566-e18b-43b3-a2eb-48960acf1b15.jpg?v=1793136448","url":"https:\/\/theorrymill.com\/products\/orry-yarn-cassilis-baby-blanket-knitting-kit","provider":"The Orry Mill","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
