\"cablelace\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Usually knitted creations have a \u201cright side\u201d but this afghan has cables on one side and lace on the other. This is a practical afghan for actually using, because it is soft and warm and looks great on both sides. The example is made with Lion Brand Homespun yarn.<\/p>\n

Gauge:<\/strong> 12 stitches and 18 rows = 4 inches in stockinette<\/p>\n

Materials:<\/strong>
\nBulky weight yarn
\nSize 10-1\/2 (6.5 mm) knitting needles
\nYarn needle<\/p>\n

Abbreviations:<\/strong>
\nk = knit
\np = purl
\nk2tog = knit two together
\nssk = slip one knitwise, slip one knitwise, insert left needle into front of both slipped stitches and knit.
\nyo = yarn over
\nC4F = cable 4 front \u2013 Slip the next 2 stitches onto cable needle and hold in front of work. Knit the next 2 stitches from left-hand needle, knit the 2 stitches from the cable needle.<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The number of cast on stitches should be a multiple of 8 plus 5 .<\/p>\n

Cast on these number of stitches for these widths:
\n33.75″ = 101 (113 stitches in body of blanket)
\n44.5″ = 133 (149 stitches in body of blanket)
\n55.25″ = 165 (185 stitches in body of blanket)
\n66″ = 197 (221 stitches in body of blanket)
\n76.75″ = 229 (257 stitches in body of blanket)<\/p>\n
