This whimsical blanket is made by combining my Windy Square and Pinwheel Square patterns with 2 different joining techniques and a simple striped border. The puff stitches, cables, Jacobs ladders, and 3D pinwheels add lots of texture for baby to play with, while the back side of the blanket is smooth against babys skin. Its made with Anne Geddes Baby yarn and comes out really soft and squishy. This yarn comes in whole range of colors, and the pattern includes some suggestions for alternate color combinations.

Braided Cables Square
"Braided Cables Square is a great project for those who would like to dip their toes in the world of Tunisian crochet cables. The repetitive pattern allows for sufficient practise of the technique creating a beautiful texture reminiscent of braided hairstyles. The Cables Square is worked flat, RS facing from right to left. The stitch count refers to the number of lps on hook on FP. There are 3 cable st patterns running in parallel with sts being crossed in the same row every 2nd row. Work tks sts in rows where sts cross over slightly looser otherwise the cables will look flat and stretched. "
