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 for reaching !!! I am happy to learn something new.. Dorie from PA, USA.

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

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.

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.

[@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

[@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.

[@dskag]

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

[@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.

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. In case I want to make it bigger. Thank you in advance!

You can add multiples of 21 to the original starting chain to make this wider Cynthia. 😊❤️

Yes, this can be a bit tricky. I did try to slow this technique down a bit for this blanket.

[@robynfarnum4431]

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
