Cables and Lace Afghan

By Alwood Designs
Size: Makes a twin sized afgan using worsted weight yarn double stranded for smaller size knit
it single stranded with smaller needles (not: you can make the blanket wider by adding
more repeats of the red lined section of the "Center Chart")
Yarn: For larger size 3, 546 yds of worsted yarn I used 18 skeins of Lion Brand Wool-Ease
Worsted of two colors, 9 of light pink, and 9 of medium pink.
For smaller size about 1,773 yds or about 9 skeins of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Worsted
needles: 32" or 40" size 11.5 needle for larger size
32" or 40 " size 8 needle for smaller size
gauge: For larger size 3.25 sts per inch
For smaller size 6 sts per inch
Materials: Yarn needle
11 stich markers

For all Right Side rows:

Work across "Right Side Chart" (making sure to slip all makers at the blue lines and at
the end of the chart), knit Central Panel Chart (making sure to slip all makers at the blue
lines and repeating 5 times between the red lines), knit Left Side Chart (making sure to
slip all makers at the blue lines and at beginning of the chart).
For all Wrong Side rows:
Work across "Left Side Chart" (making sure to slip all makers at the blue lines and at the
end of the chart), work across "Central Panel Chart" (making sure to slip all makers at
the blue lines and repeating 5 times between the red lines), work across "Right Side
Chart" (making sure to slip all makers at the blue lines and at beginning of the chart).
Solid Version: Complete all 24 rows of the charts 18 times.
Striped Version:
Complete all 24 rows of the charts twice for each color, making 9 stripes total. The color
using double stranded yarn is:
1 light and 1 dark strands
2 strands of light color
1 light and 1 dark strands
2 strands of dark color
1 light and 1 dark strands
2 strands of dark color
1 light and 1 dark strand
2 strand of light color
1 light and 1 dark strands
For both Versions:
After completeing all chart repeats cast off in pattern. Note: you can cast off in knit if it's
easier but the cast off may not be as strechy. Also you can use a larger needle than what
you used to knit the blanket to help with the strech of the cast off.
