   Patttern looks lovely, but I am confused about stitch count. Directions say to cast on x# of stitches, but then it says there are more stitches in body of blanket. Don’t understand where discrepancy is coming from. I want to use different size needles and calculate it for the 13 pattern stitch, but the two different stitch counts is boggling my mind. Thanking you in advance for your reply

     I am planning on using worsted weight yarn and size 13 needle. I get 14 stitches for 4 inches with this yarn and needle size. Thanks.

     Calculate using the initial cast on. The cables draw in the fabric, so I add stitches after the border just before the cables start. Since gauges are based on stockinette, that is compatible to the border stitches.

   Do I need circular needles for these sizes?

   Still confused about amount of stitches to cast on. I’m Wanting to make the 55.25 “, so do I cast on 165 or 185? Thanks for your help.

     You will cast on 165 stitches and the edging will have 165 stitches. Before the body of the blanket you will be adding stitches so that while working the body of the blanket you will have 185 stitches. Then when finishing the last edge, you will decrease back to 165 stitches.

   Hate to be dense but I still don’t understand your cast on. I would like to make that size as well. So do I cast on 165? No matter how I figure it out with any of the sizes none work out to multiple of 8 plus 5.

     33.75″ = 101 = (8 x 12) + 5
     44.5″ = 133 = (8 x 16) + 5
     55.25″ = 165 = (8 x 20) + 5
     66″ = 197 = (8 x 24) + 5
     76.75″ = 229 = (8 x 28) + 5

   If I want to make a size large, I cast on 197. Then how many stitches are added to each side before and after the cables? Doesn’t having more stitches in the center than the originAL cast on make it look strange? What am I missing here?

     You will be adding 24 stitches to have a total of 221 in the body of the blanket. They are actually added to keep the length of the row even with the edges. Cables make the fabric denser and shorten the width, so adding an extra stitch across per cable compensates for that.

    Love the pattern and the color. Could you tell me which homespun you used?

      MamaDecember 26, 2016 at 12:13 pm

      I made that close to 20 years ago, so don’t remember and it may have even been discontinued, but of the current colors offered, what looks closest to it is Quartz.

    That is so helpful

    Your Afghans are beautiful. I would like to make the extra large blanket using 4ply yarn and size 9 needles. Is your pattern adaptable to this? Thank you so much for sharing your lovely patterns.

    I’m in love with this pattern! I’m planning to use it with a very fine yarn using 2 mm needles. To get a good size afghan I’ve cast on 496+5 stitches. Should I make any other adjustments? Thank you so much in advance,
    Best regards
