Free Braided Cable Crochet Blanket Pattern

I learned to crochet a cable!

I chose this pattern because I had always wanted to try my hand at a cable design. I would say my experience level at the time of making this was confident beginner to intermediate. The pattern was understandable and well written and produced and beautiful blanket for the midwest winters. It has a wonderful weight and looks beautiful draped over the back of a chair. If you've never crocheted a cable this is a great start to learn!

I did it!

I am 56 yrs old and just recently started crocheting again after about 40 years. I never knew all the stitches, terms or even read a diagram until I started again. I’d been wanting to make a cable look throw so I grabbed my yarn and started practicing this pattern. I only messed up once (which was a miracle considering what was going on in my life at the time), but I managed to make this pattern and I am so happy. Thank you for clear directions and a great pattern!

Chart is great!

I found the written pattern difficult to understand. The way I read it, the second row of the set up would be one little section of 9 front post double crochets at the beginning followed by repeats of 5 single crochets and chain one, but that definitely isn't correct. I think the ** is misplaced. That is really the only reason for my rating of 4 rather than 5 stars. That being said, the chart made perfect sense to me and I was able to work the project using that. Working the front post triple crochets behind other stitches (as in row 5 of the repeat) was difficult to manage simply from a dexterity standpoint. I'm not finished, I only have about 10 inches complete, but the pattern works up BEAUTIFULLY and I cannot wait to have my living room upgraded with this piece!
