I just finished this afghan for my son and DIL. Since we won't be together on Christmas, we will open presents via video-chat and I can't wait to see their reactions -- especially my son who loves cables!

The pattern is Braided Cables Knit Throw and it is free from Yarnspirations:

I used Plymouth Encore Chunky and the photo was taken after I machine-washed and dried (low heat) the finished project. I thought that there was great stitch definition and I will definitely use this yarn again.

Fantastic and looks ideal for a man. He will keep that for many years.

I’ve just looked at the link you posted. I have to say yours looks better and I may try making it because of yours, not because of the one in the post.
Beautiful.
