When I first learned to knit cables, a whole new world of possibilities opened up to me. I was completely captivated by the beautiful textures and intricate designs I could create. It wasn’t long before this fascination turned into an obsession, and I knew I had to design a pattern that combined the classic elegance of cables with the delicate beauty of lace.

I wanted to create a design that was both visually stunning and a joy to knit. The result is an afghan pattern that marries the best of both worlds, creating a fabric that is not only beautiful but also has a lovely, flowing drape.
This blanket holds a very special place in my heart, as it’s the first afghan I ever designed. It was a true labor of love that ignited a passion for creating and an ongoing obsession with design. I hope you find as much joy in knitting this pattern as I did in creating it, and that your finished blanket brings you warmth and comfort for years to come.

The cable design has eyelets through out to allow circulation while keeping you warm. It has 3 wide cables and 2 smaller cables creating a balanced design. The blanket is approximately 45” x 65”. Which makes it large enough to lay on the bottom of a bed or on the back of a couch always having it handy.
