The star has been a traditional motif in fisherman’s knits for more than a century. Rowan Stardust Throw from Cape Bay pairs it with cable columns and a rib and garter stitch border. This blanket is the perfect piece to decorate your couch or to cozy under! Rowan Softyak DK is a blend of yak, cotton, and nylon that has the best of all worlds: the softness of cashmere combined with durability and washability. The darker yak fibers create a beautiful melange with the dyed cotton. The cable and star motif is in chart form only.
