Baby cabled afghan

well it only took me until my son was 3 months old to complete his afghan ! In my defense I started it and put it down to do a cross-stitch sampler for his room.

That came out gorgeous! Better late than never! :thumbsup:

That is beautiful! It will be so nice and warm this winter.

Beautiful! And don’t worry … he’ll be a baby for a while yet! :rofl:
An afghan like that is something that he will love for a long long time … so I wouldn’t worry about when it was completed.

A beautiful baby blanket pattern, and your work is beautiful, too. Where were all these great patterns when I was looking for my most recent blanket?

Absolutely worth the wait!! Great job!

Beautiful blanket!

The blanket is beautiful and skillfully done.

Any chance you can sneak in a picture of the sampler somewhere here? Maybe next to something knitted.

Oh wow! This one is extra special!!!

What a beautiful blanket! Where did you find the pattern? I’d love to make one of those, and I have a new grandson (born 9 weeks early) who will need a blanket when he goes home in December.

It’s beautiful!

Wow that’s wonderful.

Very beautiful! Congrats on your newborn son! cloud9

The Bernat site is having issues at the moment, but if you go to www.bernat.com you can search free patterns and it is the Bernat Baby Coordinates Chunky Cables Blanket (to knit). I did not use chunky yarn though - I’ve used Caron Simply Soft when giving as a gift and used Berocco Comfort for my sons. I did a guage swatch and adjusted my cast-on so that it would be a little larger.

Congrats on the new grandson !

I stated one for DD when I was pregnant. She’s now 7 and its still not finished! Ack! In my defense I lost the pattern (but I admit I coulda made it up and finished it!).

So 3 mos old is great! And it turned out beautifully, so was worth the wait :o)
