New FREE Knitting Pattern: Sweet Cables Baby Blanket

As part of my "recession knitting" plan to use up some of my stash yarn, I've posted a new free knitting pattern:  Sweet Cables Baby Blanket.


This blanket or afghan knits up quickly using bulky or chunky yarn.  The pattern features alternating cables with a little bit of lace - perfect for keeping that little one warm and cozy :)

This pattern is available on my Hubpage.  The directions include two separate cable charts, one for each cable.  These charts are included with the directions, but I've also posted the charts here, laid out on one page.



You should be able to click on this chart, save it, then re-size it for printing.  Let me know if you have any problems :)

  1. How precious! I love this color and now I know what "cable knit" means :)

  2. Thanks, Heather! Always happy to help :) I've been obsessed with this green/blue or blue/green light turquoise color for the past few years. I think it might be my new purple (hee!).

  3. How would you translate this pattern into multiple colors? Like having three alternating colors of several rows at a time. Did that make sense?

    1. Hi Alex,

      If you just want to knit even stripes across the blanket, you can just switch colors whenever you like. There are examples of this if you look at the project page for this pattern on Ravelry.com. Personally, I don't usually mix stripes with a cable pattern. I think the cabling can get lost in the different colors, but you will see some pretty examples on the Ravelry page. Hope this helps!

  4. Hi, Donna! This pattern is beautiful! I am working on it right now, and want to be sure I am doing the double yarn over correctly. But I can't find your video or any step-by-step for "double" yo - can you please point me? Thanks!
