New free crochet bulky and quick cabled blanket. I’m super excited to release this cozy crochet cabled blanket. The inspiration for this blanket came from my summer patio set. Yellow is not a typical colour I’m drawn to, but I fell in love with the grey and yellow stripes on this set. We have it beside our pool so I can chill and crochet while the little ones swim. Last year a designed a mermaid, shark and alligator in Bernat Maker Home Dec. It’s a soft jersey cotton type yarn perfect for towels or projects expected to get a lot of washing.
This yarn was perfect for this crochet cabled blanket pattern. A cozy towel to cuddle in after a swim or wrap up in by the fire on a cool evening. Of course, you can get creative and make this crochet blanket in just about any yarn. Double up your favourite bulky yarn or use 3-4 strands worsted weight depending on your desired thickness. Make all one colour or make a two-tone crochet cabled blanket to match your decor.

This is an Intermediate crochet design. The video includes a stitch tutorial at the beginning to review stitches used before beginning. I use the thumb join to join in a new ball, and I also include how to split a ball in 2. Working with 2 strands requires this occasionally. The crochet cabled blanket video walks through the entire 20-row repeat; therefore, it’s a lengthy video but will show you step-by-step how to crochet this blanket.
