What is the Classic Cable Collection CAL?

We are in week two of this four-week crochet-along. Briana, Michelle, me and Hannah are sharing our knowledge to help you grow your skills in crochet cables. Each week, you get a new pattern, a video tutorial, and a chance to participate in our respective Facebook communities with others working on the CAL.

We kicked it off last week with Michelle’s Celtic Weave Nesting Baskets made with crochet cables in the round. My week isn’t until the end of the month, but I’ve shared a sneak peek of the bulky crochet cable blanket we’re making. You can see the whole pattern here.

Infinity Cables Crochet Floor Pouf

During this CAL, we are making various things using a handful of unique crochet cable techniques. Briana K is showcasing her Infinity Cables crochet technique with the floor pouf pattern for this week’s CAL.

What Is The Infinity Cables Crochet Technique?

There are different ways to make crochet cables. Most commonly, we use post stitches worked across one another. However, this approach has some flaws. Briana wanted to improve upon those flaws, and that’s how she developed her Infinity Cables crochet technique.

She explains that some of the differences include:

• No spaces in the cable designs (you’ll see that I also solve this problem in a different way when we crochet the blanket in a couple of weeks)
• You can work horizontally as well as vertically. Moreover, you can crochet a circle with cables using this technique.
• You’ll work the cables on a background of other stitches, in this case, on single crochet stitches.

But one of the most unique features of her Infinity Cable crochet technique is that the cables really pop out from the rest of the fabric. They create a dramatic design, perfect for the floor pouf we’re making this week.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s this Classic Cable Collection CAL all about?

So here’s the thing… it’s a four-week crochet-along where we’re all learning how to work with crochet cables. Each week, one of us designers is sharing a new pattern and a video tutorial. You even get to join in with communities on Facebook to craft with others!

Tell me more about Briana K Designs’ Infinity Cables technique…

Honestly… it’s a super neat way to make crochet cables that Briana developed! It doesn’t leave gaps in the designs, and you can work them horizontally, vertically, or even in a circle. Plus, they really pop out from the fabric, which is perfect for this pouf!

Can I make the floor pouf in different sizes?

Yes! You can make either a short or a tall version of the Infinity Cabled crochet floor pouf. Just be aware that you’ll need four hanks of the Billow Yarn for the short one, or seven hanks if you’re going for the tall one.

What other supplies do I need besides yarn and my hook?

You’ll need a few things to get this pouf made… scissors, a tapestry needle, some removable stitch markers, and optionally, bean bag pellets or a zipper if you want to add those features.

Where can I find all the patterns from this CAL?

Great question! You can grab all four patterns in an ad-free eBook… or you can find them online individually. There’s a blanket pattern from Marly, Briana’s pouf, Hannah’s pillow, and Michelle’s baskets!
