Introduce a touch of timeless texture to your next blanket project with the Forked Cable Square - a beautifully crafted crochet afghan block!

This 8-inch square is the perfect building block for afghans, lap blankets, sampler throws, and beyond. The design is achieved using simple front post stitches, repeated for each side.

Worked in Aran weight yarn, this square works up quickly and meshes well with other 8” squares, such as those in the Granny Square Month Bundle!
