I am so happy to share this new crocheted cabled baby blanket pattern with you! Thanks to Cascade Yarns, this pattern can be provided for free. It features the honeycomb stitch, the wheat stitch, the four post cable and trimmed using a picot shell border.

I so loved working with this yarn! Cascade's Cherub DK is 8 ply, 55% Nylon, 45% Acrylic (180 yards/50 grams per ball) yarn. There is absolutely nothing stiff or rough about this yarn! It has a very lovey sheen and lots and lots of wonderful drape. You can find out more about this yarn here.

Should you have any trouble with any of these stitches, you can check out my individual videos on the specific stitch, or even better, you can view my free instructional video on this project! I have broken this down into two parts...

Even though this blanket may look complicated at first glance, it really isn't. It is worked in one continuous piece, so there is no sewing required! Once you have a basic understanding of how the cables are formed, you are ready to begin your foundation rows. After that, you simply continue to work these cables until you reach the desired length of your blanket. You can download the pattern here.

Should you crochet one of these blankets, I would love to see it! You can reach me at bonniebay@me.com, or on Facebook at Bonnie Bay Crochet. Happy crocheting!
