Learn how to crochet three beautiful cables to create a STUNNING heirloom crochet baby blanket! This cable sampler crochet baby blanket pattern includes small, medium, and large cables, flanked by bar stitches, for a traditional effect reminiscent of Irish crochet.
This baby blanket is perfect for those with some crochet cable experience to take their skills one step further!
Maybe the most exciting part of this pattern is you can memorize it. It is technically an 8-row repeat (don’t panic!), but 4 of the rows are the same simple stitch repeated across. Once you complete the first 16 rows (I know! But it’s worth it!!), the pattern is established and you will be able to see, as you work, what comes next.
This baby blanket is finished off with a beautiful lacy border. Again, I love the nod to traditional Irish crochet patterns where we have lots of 3D elements and lace.
I hope you enjoy this crochet baby blanket pattern!
