General Notes:
- The pattern uses US crochet terminology.
- The crochet baby blanket with cables is worked in rows back and forth.
- Pattern is multiple of 44 plus 38 stitches. To increase the width of the blanket, increase the number of chains. To decrease the width of the blanket, decrease the number of chains.
- You can make this blanket as long as you like by adding or substracting pattern repeats.
- You can also use yarn in different weights, but just know that the width will be different depending on your gauge.
- Ch1 at the beginning of each row doesn’t count as a stitch.
- All even rows are single crochet rows and worked in indicated stitches 1 row below.
- All FPdc(s) and FPtr(s) are worked in indicated stitches 2 rows below.
- The number of post stitches is always the same as the number of skipped sts so finally the stitch count is the same (126) in each row.
- STITCHES: When in the instructions you have a stitch followed by a number, eg sc14, this means you have to work 1sc stitch into each of the next 14 sts. When in the instructions you have a number followed by a stitch, eg 2sc, this this means you have to work 2 sc stitches into the next (same) stitch.
- Instructions in square brackets […] are worked as many times as indicated.
