Cashmere Ombre Blanket

You can make some luxurious projects from some nice yarn and a pair of knitting needles, like this Cashmere Ombre Blanket. This free knit blanket pattern is for those with discerning tastes. An easy knitting pattern, it uses brightly colored cashmere yarn in varying shades in order to create a fading ombre look. The knit blanket uses a garter stitch, which means the majority of its texture and softness come from the material itself rather than the manner in which it's made. A bit of an unusual colorblock pattern, the finished product looks less like a gradient and more like Pantone paint swatches.
