Looking for a way to practice your crochet cables & the granny stitch? Try making up the Cabled Granny Square. You can work up a bunch of these and stitch them together. or make one and add it to a blanket with different squares, like the Friends with Granny CAL or even work up 2 in some blanket yarn like in the Cabled Granny Pillow.

This pattern features the granny stitch AND crochet cables.

If you’ve ever made a granny square, you know how to make a granny stitch. It’s just 3 dc in a ch-1 space, followed by a ch-1, and then 3 dc in the next ch-1 space. Easy peasy!

Pattern Notes

• Ch 2 at the beginning of a round does not count as a stitch.
• Ch 3 at the beginning of a round does count as a dc.
• Work your fptr stitches loosely so the square doesn’t bunch up in the middle of each side
• For Rounds 5 & 7, work the fptr cable in the stitches 2 rows below.
• There is a video tutorial for this square. click here to view.
• If you tend to have loose tension when you crochet, you may need to go down a hook size or choose a light worsted weight yarn to make this an 8″ square.
• Crocheting this up in a lighter colored yarn would really make the texture of the cables pop.
