Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in beige
• Crochet Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 14 rows = 4 inches in cable pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by chaining a multiple of 12 plus 3 additional chains for your desired width. For example, if you want a blanket that is 36 inches wide, you would chain 12 x 3 = 36, then add 3, resulting in a total of 39 chains.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to make a dc in each chain across the row. At the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Begin this row by chaining 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, follow these steps:
   • *Skip the next 2 dc, then make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next 2 dc.
   • Next, fpdc around the 2 skipped dc from the previous step.
   • Continue by fpdc around the next 2 dc, then skip the next 2 dc.
   • Repeat the fpdc around the next 2 dc and around the 2 skipped dc.
   • Finish the row by making a dc in the top of the turning chain from the previous row.
   Turn your work.
4. Repeat Row 2: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket reaches your desired length. This will create the beautiful cable pattern that adds texture and warmth to your blanket.
5. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your blanket a clean finish.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Cozy Crochet Cable Blanket. Enjoy the warmth and elegance it brings to your home!
