Wildlife Cable Afghans Book Review

Choose from four different animal silhouettes for your center panel (a moose, a bear, a deer, or a wolf) and then choose your side panels to create your own gorgeous wildlife cable afghan!

This gives you lots of different combinations you can choose from, when you are making your own blanket.

The Wildlife Cable Afghan is listed as an Intermediate Difficulty Level and the finished size of the afghan is 35.5 inches X 44.75 inches (90 cm X 113.5 cm). The afghan is crocheted with medium weight yarn [4] and sizes 5 mm (H) and 5.5 mm (I) hooks.

Since you will be assembling different sections together it is a good idea to make the 2 Gauge Swatches provided on page 3.

The Center Panels

Finished size: 21 inches X 30.25 inches (53.5 cm X 77 cm)

For the center panel, you need to choose the animal you are going to crochet. The center panel is crocheted following a chart and the instructions telling you how to read the charts are included on page 6. The charts are worked in half double crochet stitches. You use the smaller size hook for the center panels. The larger size hook is used to add the border to the center panel.

• Wolf
• Bear
• Moose
• Deer

Corner Squares

You will need to make 4 corner squares. There are four different corner square patterns included and you can mix-and-match or make all four the same for your blanket. The corner square patterns are included on pages 10-15. The corner squares are crocheted with the larger size hook.

Side Panels

The panels are written in 2 lengths. You will need to make 2 short panels and 2 long panels from the 4 different panel patterns provided. The short and long panels are crocheted with the larger size hook.

• Short Panel Instructions are in Blue
• Long Panel Instructions are in Pink
• Instructions in Black apply to both the short and long panels

The short panels measure 6.75 inches X 21 inches (17 cm X 30.25 cm) and the long panels measure 6.75 inches X 53.5 inches (17 cm X 77 cm)
