Cable Squares Blanket and Cushion Cover

If you have some yarn stash, or might you love to take your knitting with you where you go, like me, – this pattern is exactly what you need! Knitting pieces is so convenient! Use any oddments you have. Any colour or a different colour for each square looks amazing. Or might two strands of different colours? It’s up to you!
It used two strands of farmers’ wool, so the blanket and cushion cover to be chunky.
You can knit it small, for your baby cot, or as big as you wish.
