Gracie’s Blanket – Let’s Crochet Easy Cables

A Lovely Blanket For A Sweet Grand Daughter

I was so happy to make this beautiful blanket for the arrival of my first grand daughter. I found that these small cables are easy to crochet and the yarn highlights them so well.

Crochet this cable blanket using velvet yarn. It is just gorgeous! This one is a show stopper and will keep you warm!
Choosing to use Lion Brand’s Vel-Luxe yarn in pale gray was a fabulous choice as it is so luxurious and soft. I love that it comes in a cake and it is a “4” yarn, but it is not a normal “4”. I consider this yarn to be a hefty 4 yarn. Keep scrolling to find the pattern at the end of this post.

A few of the ladies that tested the pattern, happily told me that they had never made cables before and they found making them was easy. I know you can make this too! I have added a free version below, that makes a 40″ x 35″ blanket, just right for a baby. If you would like information on how to make a larger version and have the ability to access all of the charts and designer tips, you can purchase the pattern on Etsy, Ravelry and Love Crafts.

Even if you don’t purchase the pattern, could you please show it some love and add it to your que at the link below?

Gracie’s Velvet Blanket

Lion Brand Vel-Luxe; colorway Pale Gray; 5.5  cakes or 1,350 yds.

Special note on different yarns.
If you branch out and use Bernat Velvet yarn (5) I recommend a “K 10.5/6.50mm” hook and the end result will be a larger blanket. The pdf that includes all charts and adjustment info, will help you make adjustments if needed. If you make Gracie’s Blanket using Bernat Velvet yarn, I would love know how it works up.

Gauge: 4” x W = 2 FPDC; 5 BPDC; 1 Cable in the pattern; 4” x H = 10 Rows

Hook:

I-9/5.5mm

Measurement:  Approx: 40” w x 35” height

Notes:
1. Beg. CH 2 does not count as a stitch

2. When referring to the diagram the curve at the bottom  of  the back post stitches are turned left, and right for the front post stitches.

This isn’t my first go using Velvet Yarn. I am in love with Bernat’s Velvet yarn. It makes a super cute hipster style hat. I call this my Boston Velvet Hat.

    Hi Krissy, just want to say I LOVE your patterns. I was just curious about the Over Brook Poncho. I have made several and I love the detail – it is always beautiful. However on the bottom of page one of pattern you note that if you are using a larger size yarn (chunky 5 weight) we should follow the smaller size pattern. I am not sure where this smaller pattern is at or does it have to be purchased separately. Thank you.

      Hi there! I am so glad you like the Over Brook Poncho Pattern. I see your question about sizing and yarn options. So I need to ask, what size are you working with? There are three patterns XS-Small; M-XL & 1x-3x that are all sold separately.
