Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Cozy Textured Cable Crochet Blanket:

1. Foundation Chain: Start by chaining a multiple of 8 plus 2. For example, if you want a blanket that is 40 inches wide, you might chain 98 (96 + 2).
2. Row 1:
   • Double crochet (dc) in the 4th chain from the hook.
   • Continue to dc in each chain across the row.
   • At the end of the row, you should have a total of your chain count - 2 dc stitches.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 2 (this counts as your first dc), then turn your work.
   • Front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next 2 stitches.
   • Back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next 2 stitches.
   • Repeat from * to end of the row, ensuring to finish with a dc in the last stitch.
4. Row 3:
   • Chain 2 and turn your work.
   • Dc in each stitch across the row.
5. Row 4:
   • Chain 2 and turn your work.
   • Repeat the same pattern as Row 2: fpdc around the next 2 stitches, bpdc around the next 2 stitches, and continue this pattern to the end.
   • Finish with a dc in the last stitch.
6. Repeat Rows: Continue repeating Rows 3 and 4 until your blanket reaches the desired length. This will create a beautiful textured pattern that showcases the cable design.
7. Finishing Touch:
   • Once you have reached your desired length, finish with a row of single crochet (sc) across the top edge to give it a neat finish.
   • Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
