How to Crochet a Cable Blanket
Crochet cables are one of many fun ways to add texture and design to a crochet blanket. Cable designs range from very basic crochet cables that only move upward, to more intricate cable designs that move inward and outward as they move upward.
Many crocheters are intimidated by cable stitches at first, but after working a few rows, they soon discover that they’re easier than they thought!
I would classify this cabled stitch crochet pattern as an intermediate cable design.
The cable accent panel is crocheted back and forth in rows. You’ll use two different post stitches to create the raised cables on top of the single crochet stitch background.
Be patient as you work crochet cables. Sometimes it takes a couple rows before you’re able to clearly see cable movement.
After crocheting the cabled accent panel, you’ll join gradient yarn and crochet along the long edges of the panel. Once your blanket is the desired width, you’ll crochet a border on a blanket using single crochet stitches.

Adjusting the Size of Your Blanket
The cable crochet blanket pictured is lapghan size. The written crochet pattern includes instructions to make a crochet baby blanket, lapghan, and large throw, but if you are looking for a smaller or larger blanket, this pattern is pretty easy to adjust.
You can easily increase the length of your blanket by crocheting more rows in the cabled accent panel. You can increase the width of your blanket by working more rows in the gradient sections.
For help determining what size to make your cable stitch crochet blanket, check out my Standard Blanket Size Chart.
Yarn
For the Aelia Cable Crochet Blanket, I chose two different yarns. I wanted to use a gradient yarn, but knew that the definition of the crochet cables would get lost in the color changes of the yarn.
So, to have the best of both worlds, I chose Lion Brand Yarns Pound of Love for the cabled accent panel and Lion Brand Yarns Mandala Gradient for the rest of the crochet blanket.
Pound of Love is the perfect yarn for so many different crochet projects and the yardage in one ball is incredible at 1,020 yards, making it affordable too!
Mandala Gradient Yarn is a worsted weight / 4, acrylic nylon blend yarn and it’s currently available in 12 beautiful colors! I love that the yarn does all of the colorwork and there are very few ends to weave in!

Important Notes About Cables & Post Stitches
Keep these notes in mind while crocheting your blanket. They will help you properly place your stitches, especially when your post stitches are moving horizontally, outward and inward.
- Unwritten Rule of Post Stitches: When working post stitches, you are working around the post of a stitch. This means that you always skip over the top loops of 1 stitch behind each post stitch. If you do not skip over those top loops, you’ll end up increasing your overall stitch count. **I believe that most of us do this without even thinking about it, but when it comes to using the post stitches to create cables that move, we forget about that little tidbit.
- Pay REALLY close attention to wording; it is very literal. The pattern always says “fpXX around next post st“. Except for Row 3 (which is the first row of post stitches) you will work EVERY post stitch around a post stitch from the previous post stitch row (not around a sc). In short, make sure to work EVERY post stitch from Row 5 or later, around the post of a post stitch from the previous cable row and your post stitches will be where they need to be.
- To achieve proper movement of post stitches, you may be working into BOTH the top loops of a post stitch and around it. Watch wording carefully and make sure to always skip the top loops of 1 stitch behind every post stitch.
- To maintain post stitch movement and stitch count, there are also times when you will not be working into a sc. Count stitches and pay special attention to wording.

Important Row 3 Tips
Row 3 is the cable set-up row. You will work the post stitches in Row 3, two rows down, around the posts of the stitches from Row 1.
If you’re struggling with finding exactly where the post of the stitch is that you need to work a Row 3 post stitch around, make sure to check out my 2 Tips for Proper Post Stitch Placement. There is a quick video and a photo tutorial that will not only help you with this crochet cables blanket, it will help you with all other crochet cable patterns.
Even though you’re working two rows down and working on the right side of a stitch, you can use the same “important tip for rows” that I shared in the above linked crochet tutorial.
