Materials Needed

• Hook: Size N/P (10mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 4 rows = 4 inches in double crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 80 stitches. Make sure your chain is not too tight to allow for easy crocheting in the next steps.
2. Row 1: In the fourth chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to make a dc in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *skip the next 2 dc, then make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next 2 dc. After that, fpdc around the skipped dc, and finish this segment by making a dc in the next 2 dc; repeat from * across the row. End with a dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 3, then make a dc in each stitch across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
5. Repeat: Continue to repeat Rows 2 and 3 until your afghan reaches your desired length. This will create the beautiful cable texture that makes this afghan unique.
6. Finishing: Once you have reached the desired length, fasten off your yarn. Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends to give your afghan a clean finish.
