The cables, also known as crossed towers, create a rich texture that’s perfect for baby blankets, heirloom gifts, or special keepsakes. Once you get the hang of the repeat, you’ll find it relaxing and satisfying to work through row after row of gorgeous stitches.
Inspired by the Ultimate Crochet Stitch Library
I first learned how to crochet these beautiful cables during the Ultimate Crochet Stitch Library On-Demand Summit hosted by Crafts On Air. It was such an inspiring event. Packed with expert tutorials and I was amazed by how accessible crochet cables really are.
It truly opened up a new world of stitch possibilities for me.
Finished with a Lacy, Elegant Border
To finish off the blanket, I added a lacy border that pairs beautifully with the bold texture of the cables. It’s delicate, timeless, and incredibly easy to crochet. I’m so thrilled with how the entire blanket came together—and I know I’ll be using this lovely border again in future designs! I hope you enjoy making this pattern as much as I did.
