Cabled Afghan

**Reversible Intarsia Cable Blanket Knitting Pattern** This exquisite reversible cable blanket is crafted using the intarsia technique, allowing you to display beautiful cables on both sides. Prepare yourself to work with a remarkable 17 strands of yarn for each row, creating a stunning and intricate design. To complete this project, you will need 7 balls (208 yards/190 meters each) of your chosen background color. Additionally, you'll require around 130 yards (119 meters each) of blue, yellow, green, and brown yarn for the lovely cable details. For an optimal knitting experience, we recommend having 5 stitch markers and a cable needle on hand. The detailed instructions for this blanket include comprehensive charts for both the double-seed stitch and the cable pattern, ensuring that even novice knitters can follow along with ease. The setup and closing rows are clearly written out for additional clarity. For this project, I found it beneficial to use a needle one size larger than what is suggested on the yarn sleeve, which provided a softer drape and enhanced the overall look of the blanket. This charming blanket not only serves as a cozy addition to your home decor but is also a lifeline of creativity that garnered recognition by winning 3rd place in the prestigious Patternworks Challenge of 2008. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting, this reversible intarsia cable blanket knitting pattern offers a delightful challenge that will result in a beautiful heirloom piece.
