What Is Cable Knit?

Cable knit is a special form of knitting that creates a uniquely raised pattern. The cables are the raised portion of the pattern, while knitting refers to how the blanket is created. Sometimes, your cable knit baby blanket will have backing to it in the form of another material for additional warmth and texture.

• Cable knit is often a classic knit for baby blankets. The knit is a traditional way of embellishing a blanket, so if you love traditional touches to your modern accessories, this is the blanket for you.
• The style is popular with parents, grandparents, other caretakers and high-fashion designers, like Pottery Barn Kids collaborator Monique Lhuillier, who is revered for her delicate touch and clean silhouettes full of just the right balance of embellishment.
• The texture of cable knit can be mimicked with other knitting techniques, like a bubble knit or triangle knit. You can also choose tweed blankets for a chevron pattern that complements your baby's cable knit pattern.
