The Cable Craze Blanket Knit-Along begins January 13th, 2026 with the first pattern drop!

Join us and build your skills with Berroco’s year-long Cable Craze Blanket Knit-along! The Berroco Design Team has crafted twelve spectacular 16 x 16” blocks, each showcasing a unique cable arrangement that’s perfect for knitters eager to dive in and master these mesmerizing stitches. Released on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, each block takes you on an exciting journey through the wonderful world of cables—from classic twists to interesting rope patterns and everything in between. Work your way through the collection at your own pace, discovering new techniques and building confidence with each design.

Construction Notes
The blanket is made up of 12 different cable blocks, each made individually and then sewn together. The blocks are knit with a garter stitch selvedge edge to facilitate seaming. Each block’s pattern stitch is both written and charted for your preference. Cast on all blocks using the long-tail method; the first row begins on a WS row.

At the end of 2026, finished projects added to Ravelry will be entered to win a mystery prize pack worth $1000 full of yarn, tools, and accessories from Berroco and its partner brands. Make sure to tag your project #VintageKAL26.
