This was a great pattern to work with once you get the hang of it!! It took a little while to be able to recognize what row repeat i was on without a row counter. If you have some experience with cableing and FPDC and BPDC then this is a great pattern to expand your crochet techniques on!! I made the first blanket according to the pattern and then loved the look so much I decided to make another as a wedding gift and changed the pattern to make the lattice work sort of framed in the cable pattern. I will definitely make this pattern again, the only thing I may do differently is a different edging since I don’t like the way the reverse hdc curls the edging up.
