Do you want to knit a super chunky and “squishy” blanket virtually in no time flat, one that is perfect for those chilly fall and winter days and evenings?
If so, consider this chunky cable blanket pattern!
The recommended yarn to use for this project is an alpaca-wool blend, which will result in an afghan that is both soft and comforting! You can find links to the needed yarn and other supplies on the page where the pattern is located.
The cable stitch for this pattern is incredibly simple, so even if you haven’t done cable stitch before, this pattern will guide you through easily being able to do so.
This pattern is based on an 8-row repeat method.
The circular needles used for this pattern are absolutely huge (more details below), and greatly assist in helping to make this a pretty quick knitting pattern to finish!
Because this chunky throw knits up so quickly, it would make a wonderful gift for someone and your lucky recipient would think you took much more time to knit it than you actually had taken!
For this project, you will need US Size 50 (25 mm) circular knitting needles that are 40 inches long, along with a US Size 50 (25 mm) straight needle for knitting the cable stitch on the afghan.
