Basically, for seasoned knitters, with about 48 ounces of worsted weight yarn, cast on 230 stitches using size 10 1/2 circular needles, work a seed stitch for six rows and then begin knitting six stitches and purling six stitches across the row, maintaining four seed stitches on each side. Twisting a cable stitch on the knit stitches every sixth row, continue the same until desired length is reached, ending with six rows of seed stitch. Happy knitting !

"I LOVE this and I especially LOVE it in this color". I think it looks richer in a solid color and how perfect is this neutral...
Wow, that's really impressive!
Beautiful! What an amazing project! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful and I love the color. It must be so awesome to be able to knit and make all sorts of cool things like that!
I also admit that while I've love to actually DO it, I don't have enough desire to learn it, I guess. So I'll just enjoy all that you do!
Thanks for linking up today.
Very nice...looks really warm and comforting. I don't know how to knit, but would like to learn. Any tips for newbies? Stopping by from SOYCM.

Beautiful afghan. Thank you for sharing such a lovely hand made treasure. I know your family and friends have been thrilled to receive such a lovely gift. This color is gorgeous.

That is a beautiful afghan!! I did a sweater for my grandson in that stitch, and really enjoyed the outcome! Thank you so much for the post and for the mushroom recipe! It looks delicious.
I learned to knit a long time ago just because I wanted to make a cable knit blanket. I made a dishcloth and then didn't do anything and now I don't know how to knit anymore- but this blanket makes me want to figure it out again. It's gorgeous!
So pretty! I wish I could knit. The color is beautiful. I'm stopping by from Cielo's.

That is a gorgeous afghan in a gorgeous color.
This looks so cozy. I can just imagine myself on a frosty morn, sitting in front of a roaring fire, wrapped in this lovely afghan, sipping hot tea.
