Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in golden yellow
• Crochet Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in double crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain in multiples of 8 plus 4. For example, if you want a blanket that is 40 inches wide, you could chain 104 (which is 100 + 4).
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to dc in each chain across the foundation chain. When you reach the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *skip the next 2 dc, then make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next 2 dc. After that, fpdc around the skipped dc, and dc in the next 4 dc. Repeat from * across the row until you reach the end. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 3, then dc 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. This will create the beautiful cable texture that defines this blanket.
6. Finishing Touch: Once you have reached your desired length, finish with a row of single crochet (sc) around the entire blanket. This will give it a neat and polished edge. After completing the sc row, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.

Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own Golden Cable Crochet Blanket. Enjoy the warmth and beauty of your handmade creation!
