Crochet cables are NOT hard!

If you know how to do post stitches, you can crochet cables.

Learn how to crochet the crossed towers cable crochet baby blanket! This pattern is an easy-to-memorize four row repeat that produces an heirloom gift.

I am so thrilled with the way this lacy border pairs with the cable blanket. I expect to use this beautiful border on future designs, too! Super easy and so elegant.
