There’s something so satisfying about this Textured Cable Crochet Blanket. It’s both visually stunning and full of cozy texture. This Colorful Celtic Weave Crochet Blanket Pattern brings all of that together in one beautiful project.
Designed using the richly textured Celtic weave stitch, this pattern transforms simple yarn into a bold and timeless piece you’ll be proud to gift or keep.

If you’ve never tried the Celtic weave stitch, don’t worry — it may look complex, but with the help of this clearly written pattern, you’ll be crossing stitches like a pro in no time.
The technique uses front and back post double crochets to create a gorgeous braided look that’s thick, warm, and wonderfully dimensional. It’s the kind of texture that looks impressive but becomes rhythmic and relaxing to work.
This Textured Cable Crochet Blanket pattern includes seven blanket sizes, so you can make anything from a baby blanket to a king-size bedspread. I used a soft #3 weight yarn for the original, but this stitch looks beautiful in a medium #4 weight yarn too. Whether you want bold, colorful stripes or something more neutral, the Celtic weave really makes the yarn shine.
I chose to leave my version borderless to let the stitch speak for itself, but I’ve included several optional border ideas if you’d like a polished edge. The pattern includes everything you need to get started: beginning stitch counts, row numbers, helpful tips, and yardage estimates for each size.
Grab your hook and yarn — this is a crochet pattern you’ll come back to again and again.
