YOU ARE BUYING A *LOOP YARN* FINGER-KNITTING PATTERN, NOT THE FINISHED PRODUCT. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUYING YOUR OWN MATERIALS TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT.
This PDF pattern includes written English instructions, as well as a pattern template.
The Chunky Celtic Cable Saxon Braid blanket is a mixed pattern of cables of different sizes with a centre pattern of a repeating Saxon braid. The Saxon braid is a common feature and centrepiece of Irish Aran knitting. Irish Aran knitting patterns have a long and rich history, originating in the Aran Islands, off the west coast of Ireland. Most commonly seen in sweaters, I have replicated those patterns here in blanket form.
NOTE: The 3rd picture is of a smaller, baby blanket size version of this pattern and is also available for purchase here.
SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate.
SUGGESTED MATERIALS: 5 balls of Bernat Alize Blanket-EZ yarn (6.4oz, 180g) (Image shown is the colour ‘Mauve’).
SUGGESTED TOOLS: No needles required (finger knitting). Scissors.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: Approx. 38” by 46” (96.5 cm by 117 cm).
PLEASE NOTE: This pattern will work with any brand of loop yarn, but keep in mind that the size of the loops, and size of the balls/skeins of each brand is different.
Lion Brand Off-The-Hook, Lion Brand Crayola Off-The-Hook, Red Heart Loop-It, and Bernat Alize Puffy yarns can all be used with this pattern, but will yield a blanket with smaller overall dimensions. You will also need more balls/skeins to complete the pattern as is (approximately 2-4, depending on the yarn used).

Cant wait to make this love the pattern and so easy to follow
I thought that this item was for regular knitting directions. However, it was for loopy directions, which I have never heard of. I am not able to knit the afghan that I am planning to make as a gift for my daughter. I suggest that there should be a separate warning on these directions - not mixed in with knitting directions.
I can totally understand the frustration as a customer when an item is different from what you thought you were purchasing. However, it should be noted that our patterns are identified as loop yarn finger-knitting patterns everywhere we are able to do so, including in the listing name, the listing description (both at the top of the description and under suggested materials), the listing photos, the shop description and the shop banner. Ultimately customers are responsible for carefully reading the listing descriptions to ensure they understand what they are buying, before making their purchase.
I cant wait to make this blanket for Christmas gifts!
