NOTE

This 2 sided blanket is achieved by alternating 3 stitch pattern panels each worked in 6 row repeats.

The Ripple stitch pattern alternates 3 rows in Stockinette st and 3 rows in Reverse St st.

The Cable/Bobble stitch patterns are the same stitch pattern worked in staggered repeat rows to put cables on one side of the fabric and bobbles on the reverse side. Both stitch patterns appear on both sides.

It may be helpful to place markers between each separate pattern.
