The Crochet Cable Blanket Pattern is full of beautiful texture and is easier than it looks! With a 4 row repeat you can create these gorgeous cables.
This blanket is bulky, textured and beautiful! While it’s only a fairly simple 4 row repeat, this blanket takes time and a lot of yarn. Over 20 100g skeins of bulky yarn! But in the end, it’s so worth it when you end up with this beauty.

I love your design creativity! This Afghan will be gorgeous draped on my living room couch. Thx for what you do for us crocheters!?
Is there a video anywhere to get you started? I just feel like I’m not doing row one correctly….
Hi, this is absolutely gorgeous! I was wondering what the multiples of this pattern is? I’m going to be using a different weight yarn and need to adjust,!
Ch a multiple of 17 + 12 🙂
Is there a video tutorial for this pattern? I’m starting row 5 and am not sure what to do after the first fptr.
Hi! No, I don’t have a video tutorial at this time. Sorry!! Before you made the first fptr you skipped a stitch. Now (crossing over your work) fptr in the skipped stitch
Thank you for the additional information! That was very helpful! I’m wondering if the tension on this needs to be a bit looser so that those cables lay nicely? I have all of the stitches worked out now after a bit of trial and error but feel like my tension may be a bit tight and don’t want that to cause issues as I get further into the blanket!
Hi! You can go up a hook size 🙂
