Don't let this design scare the daylights out of you because this Crochet Cablework Afghan is really easy if you look at this afghan row by row.
The wonderful and coolest thing about this design, once you start the main pattern after the 1st - 3 rows are done, every other row is just straight single crochet across. This means, one row you need to think and the other row to get back is just a no brainer. The complete design is completed on the front side of the afghan so you can see it come together as your crochet. So if you are making an error, you will see it right away.
So when you look at the diagram below, don't freak out. Take it line by line. The tutorial I have provided is extremely long. I follow you through the entire sheet. Once you get rows 1 - 14 done, you start again at Row 1 and so on. It's not hard.

You will notice this diagram is slightly different than the one provided with the original pattern. Mikey's diagram has two repeats of the cable twisting instead of just one in the original pattern. Both diagrams are the same, Mikey's is just extended for educational purposes.

Hi Mikey, I adore you, Dan, your site and you ease of teaching. I felt bad about your FaceBook problem and page.
I love this pattern and I have successfully made it to row 5 with your video and Dan's COLOR chart . . . JUST THE BEST.
Thanks a bunch!
🙂
