Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in golden yellow
• Crochet Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 14 rows = 4 inches in single crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain that is a multiple of 12, plus 3 additional chains for the turning chain. For example, if you want a blanket that is 48 inches wide, you would chain 123 (12 x 10 + 3).
2. Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, work 1 single crochet (sc). Continue to work 1 sc in each chain across the row. When you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet (dc)). Now, *skip the next 2 stitches, then work a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next 2 stitches. After that, working in front of the previous 2 stitches, fpdc around the 2 skipped stitches. Finally, work a dc in the next 2 stitches*. Repeat the instructions from * to * across the row. Make sure to finish with a dc in the last stitch. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 1, then work 1 sc in each stitch across the row. Turn your work.
5. Repeat: Continue to repeat Rows 2 and 3 until your blanket reaches the desired length. Make sure to keep your tension consistent for a uniform look.
6. Finishing Touch: Once your blanket is at the desired length, finish with a row of single crochet around the entire edge. This will create a neat border and help prevent any curling. After completing the border, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Cozy Golden Cable Crochet Blanket. Enjoy the warmth and beauty of your handmade creation!
