Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern – Cobbles & Cables

There are so many cute baby accessories out there these days! Every baby shower has tons of cool new tools and cute patterns. However, these trends come and go and there is nothing like a homemade blanket to share with a new baby or new family. This crochet baby blanket pattern is just the right mix of modern and traditional. This free pattern combines the cool modern grey and white colors with two textures to keep baby warm and busy!

The grey in this pattern is all worked in the misaligned cobble stitch, which Rose shows in our building block post. This stitch is perfect for a baby blanket and their little fingers will love the texture of the bumps in and then slide into the white larger row of cables. You could work this pattern in any colors, but I found the grey and white combination to be very modern and classy at the same time.

    Hello! I love this pattern. What kind of yarn do you recommend?

      Thanks! I just realized I didn’t put the yarn in the post, so thanks for asking. I updated it. I used RED HEART Soft Baby Steps. It took about 4 skeins of the gray and a little over 1 of the white.

    Another question. I I am thinking of replacing the weight yarn in the pattern with navy. I am also interested in crocheting a border. Would you recommend the border be in gray or navy?

      Oh, I think navy would look awesome! If you are doing a cable like border, then the navy would probably go really well. For a border, I think the gray would be a more subdued look and the navy would be bolder. I don’t think you could go wrong with either color though! Please share a picture when you finish. 🙂

        One more question. Will row one have 120 stitches or 121 stitches?

          120 – The first row of cobbles will end with a tc and then the next row starts with a sc into that tc and that is how you get that alternating cobble effect. So, you could do any multiple of two and then just add 1 in your chain to allow for that first turn.

            Thanks. That’s what I thought. I doubled up somewhere.

    Another question. It looks like you want the simple cable pattern to be on the same side as the cobble stitch. That is not working out for me. I’m starting on the front. But if I do it like the video, the cable pattern is ending up on the wrong side. What have I done wrong? All my cobble stitches are in even rows, but doing the cable stitch like you show in the video somehow puts the cable on the wrong side of the blanket.

      When you start the cables, you will be on the back side of the blanket. Then you flip your work to the front to work in those single crochets and slip stitch, then you flip it back over to the back (around 2:15 in the video) and work into the sc in the middle of the little bridge…this should help push that cable toward the front of your blanket where the cobbles are and then when you work the next row back into those sc, it will further push the cables to the front of the blanket and make them stand out a bit more. Does that help? If not, you can email me and we can chat there. 🙂

    I can’t get back to my original stitch count after the first row of cables

      Are you over or under? Likely you are missing a sc or added one extra in there. You can frog and go back, or you can just adjust from here by either adding a sc in another stitch or by decreasing with a sc2tog in one stitch in the first row of white or first row of grey after the cable.

        I’m under. Finally got to 120 after frogging back several times. Many of the stitches were so hard to see. Do I need to just add one more into the white sc?
