Cabled Wedding Blanket

Cabled Wedding Blanket, or what I like to call "The baby-makin' blanket". This crocheted blanket uses two different crochet stitches and a lovely technique called cables. I will start off by saying this blanket probably isn't a great beginner project but is also not the most difficult, once you get the hang of cables, it goes by fast! So grab yourself a cup of coffee or a chilled glass of wine and let's get hooking!

Materials

• 7mm crochet hook
• Medium worsted weight yarn (I used Hobby Lobby's "I Love This Yarn" in Ivory, 8-10 skeins)
• Scissors

Special Stitches

• Front Post Double Crochet (Fpdc): YO, insert hook behind post of stitch (insert hook from front to back of stitch), YO, pull up a loop, YO, (pull through 2 loops) twice. 
• Back Post Double Crochet (Bpdc): YO, insert hook behind post of stitch (insert hook from back to front of stitch), YO, pull up a loop, YO, (pull through 2 loops) twice.
• Front Post Treble Crochet (Fptc): Yarn Over (YO) twice, insert hook from front to back around post of stitch indicated. YO and pull up a loop, [YO and draw through 2 loops on hook] 3 times.
• Back Post Treble Crochet (Bptc):Yarn Over (YO) twice, insert hook from back to front around post of stitch indicated. YO and pull up a loop, [YO and draw through 2 loops on hook] 3 times.

Let's Get Hooking!

*After each round, you will turn and chain 3. Every beginning chain 3 counts as the row's first dc*
