I designed nine different cable blocks. Each block consists of a garter stitch border and flanked by a simple cable to the main cable design.

The squares are knit with Lana Grande, a wonderfully soft and chunky yarn from Cascade yarn. I chose to use two colors from this line, Irish oatmeal and Beige. I also used US size 15 needles, which make the knitting go real quickly. The border for the afghan is a simple cable design. It is knit separately and sewn on to the completed afghan.

This was such a fun quick project.
