Cable Knit Baby Blanket – 80x80cm – 100% Cashmere – Fudge/Cocoa

This brown cashmere baby blanket is for anyone who loves warm, earthy colours more than pastels. Deep, reddish cocoa fills the main field, with paler fudge at the border, and the raised cables catch the light so the browns look rich and textured, a little like a favourite winter jumper.

The blanket is knitted in Kathmandu from 100% cashmere in a 4-ply construction, using a fine 28-count yarn, which gives it a substantial feel without real weight. The cable pattern adds texture across the whole surface. At 80 × 80 cm (32 × 32 inches) it is a handy size for the pram, for cuddles on the sofa, or for keeping on your lap during feeds, and it folds small enough for a changing bag.

Reviews so far are for other colourways, but the themes carry across. Sarah, who chose Amethyst/Pink Lady, wrote of “Beautiful colours which makes you feel cosy”, and Diana’s daughter was delighted with hers, “an ideal Easter present”. Fudge and cocoa make a particularly good gift when you do not know whether the baby will be a boy or a girl, and they look at home in an autumn or winter nursery.
