Play with post stitches and complete the Woven Cables Panel-Style Crochet Baby Blanket! This baby blanket features the mini basketweave stitch, crochet cables, and the rice stitch for a lovely heirloom gift full of texture!

I love a good panel-style blanket! This is my third. You can see the other two patterns here:

It’s easy to get a little burnt out working up an entire blanket in one stitch pattern. Panel blankets are a joy because I still choose easy-to-memorize stitches, but after 30 rows or so, you join a new color and learn a new stitch!

I hope you find this pattern so fun! Especially the cables!!
