Babies LOVE Cables Baby Blanket

[@danabolick5154]

Thank you for such a beautiful blanket! I appreciate your not editing out when the yarn splits on you or when you have an oops. I learn from my oops and others. It’s also comforting to know others even more experienced crafters have the same problems.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Yes indeed Dana! No yarn is absolutely perfect, but there are many that are excellent. Thanks for your kind understanding here. Even designers are fallible and make mistakes and have to deal with fussy yarn!

Thank you, Bonnie for the pattern!! ❤

[@cynthiaventura360]

You are a great teacher ! Thank you again! I can’t thank you enough for these great tutorials ! 💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏

[@agp38]

This is a great pattern all the way around and on so many levels! It teaches a lot of skills including identifying stitches and how to cross cables. I did have some difficulty at first, with the first cross on row 8... couldn’t seem to get it. I also left a whiny comment about that difficulty during the peak of my frustration, but I deleted it. Lol. I love Bonnie’s videos and she’s a fabulous teacher so I knew if I just kept trying even in the face of frustration I’d get it eventually, and I did. To anybody having trouble at first just keep trying! It really is true that you can do it by feel if you just keep trying. I’m like an old pro now. ;) You’re a great teacher Bonnie thanks for this video, and for all the other ones too! This is my third project from your patterns and I’ve significantly improved my crochet skills with each one! Incidentally I modified this blanket to be adult size with 11 cables across. Increased the fp/bp dc border to 3” all the way around (9 rows on top and at bottom, and 16 stitches in each side), and added a wattle to each end of the row next to the expanded side border, to increase a little of the flat fabric space for aesthetics. I’ll probably end up doing rows 8-23 around 12 times, and using around 5600 - 6000 yards of yarn. Final dimensions will be about 60” x 52”. I’m about halfway through now and it’s absolutely fabulous! Thanks again Bonnie for all you do! xo

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

That blanket sounds lovely Amy! I'm so glad you are enjoying these. I also so appreciate your kind words. Wishing you all the very best!

I'm a long time knitter trying to learn to "speak crochet" and it's been tough! Written patterns have been gibberish to me. I bought this pattern and reading it while watching the video has helped me understand crochet so much better! This is very well explained. Thanks!

I just made this blanket for niece who is expecting. I did make it with a size 4 yarn and it’s much thicker then yours, but it’s still very nice. I used baby velvet in cream colour I had on hand as I couldn’t get my hand on my skin neutrals in my area. I will try it again as soon as I get done do. Thank you so much. You are very easy to follow. 👍

Loved your video. Loved the way your blanket came out. Great pattern. Watched it while working remotely. Can't wait to start this project. I'm so excited. You made it very simple to understand doing the cables. I've always screwed them up & put it down. Going to try again.

You got such a gorgeous baby blanket, I love how it drapes gorgeous. I started my own yesterday, but it’s was to nerrow, so I added another row of cables and it’s still only 28” wide, am I crochet to tight?

[@raquelquintanomaroto21]

Hola, me encantan tus trabajos. Para cuando traducidos a español, por favor???

Hope all well. Beautiful, I really enjoy your tutorials. If I wanted to do a bigger size what would be the count for it ? Please and thank you

You can add multiples of 21 to the original starting chain for each cable set you wish to add.

Wow 🤩 Bonnie what a beautiful blanket! Thank you thank you thank you so so much for Todd great tutorial! It was not too fast but i being a new crocheter I might have to slow it down for myself just a bit, but not because of you, you are such a great teacher and I love your follow along tutorials! Thank you I appreciate everything you do! I can’t wait to try this beautiful baby blanket. If it’s not too much to ask, what odd the stitch count? I don’t believe you said at the beginning.

@@BonnieBayCrochet thank you!

[@dskag]

I’m wondering…what are the approximate dimensions of this blanket in DK weight yarn?

[@fruitastic1991]

If I used worsted weight yarn instead of dk weight do think it would be wide enough for an adult afghan? Or would I need to add more wheat cables? 🤔 this is very similar to your autumn cable throw just without the ribbing in-between the cables.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

You may need to add additional cables for width in my opinion.

[@heatherjones9090]

Bonnie can make this as throw over aswell

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

I do have many throws using cables here: kzbin.info/aero/PLoIugZBYOS0Udr7tGiPfi-17m6DSeUI02

[@tinaarrowsmith8482]

I really like this how long did it take you to make it

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Maybe a week off and on. Perhaps 20 hours of crocheting.

[@jenniferdougherty6535]

Trying to do this but keep messing up on the 6th row my count is like 9 or 10 off when you do the waddle stitch is it single an chain in one stitch then the double in the next stitch or are the single chain an double all in the same stitch cuz I have 9 or 10 extra an cant figure out where I'm messing up

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

For a wattle stitch you work (sc, ch-1, dc) in the same stitch.

[@jenniferdougherty6535]

@@BonnieBayCrochet ok so Amy idea why my count might be off I cant figure out what I'm doing wrong in the row b4 that there is still 128 stitches counting the chain 2 on the very first so still 127 not counting the chain its 127 I have redone The row 3 times an still the same amount of extra stitches which arnt extra I'm just forgetting something

I have never crocheted cables....I want to dive in and do them! Grandbaby 24 due soon. Bonnie is any DK yarn ok to use?

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Any that you like should work Bonnie.

[@laladadysgirl]

Somehow when I go to do the foundation for the cables I end up 25 stitches short. I verified my stitch count was correct, many times. Not sure what the disconnect is. I really wanted to make this for my rainbow baby but after having to frog it several times…

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Not sure Samantha. Would need more specifics. Could it be the way you are working the wattle stitches?

[@laladadysgirl]

@@BonnieBayCrochet I don’t think so. I’ve been crocheting for 14 years. Instead of 5 groups of the three trebles with the half doubles I’m only getting 4🤷🏻‍♀️ no idea I even bought the pattern to make sure I wasn’t missing something.

Hi Bonnie, in row 2 do you finish with a back post or front post? I know you put a hdc in the 2 chain hole but do you work the post just prior to that? (ie the one that if you worked the post would actually work into that hole where the hdc goes). I hope that makes sense
