Happy November lovelies! I have a review & fabulous giveaway for you today! I recently was able to check out the gorgeous book Celtic Cable Crochet by Bonnie Barker (ISBN: 978-1-63250-353-4, Interweave F+W).
Cables are so gorgeous…they are full of texture and interest and always look timeless.. Celtic Cable Crochet features 18 designs including sweaters, hats, scarves, ponchos (like the amazing one on the cover!) and lots more!
I love this scarf below…so fallish!

Whether you’re a seasoned crocheter or curious about crochet cables, there is a variety of projects from larger more intricate sweaters, to simpler and smaller projects like this fun hat below:

The book helps you all along the way with stitch charts, size charts, a glossary of abbreviations too. If you’re unfamiliar with crocheting cables, there is a full color step by step tutorial section in the back to help you each step of the way!

One of my favorite designs from the book is this beautiful messenger bag below…isn’t it lovely? I especially like how the squares are created with different types of cables…so pretty!

That poncho is so cute! That would probably be the first thing I attempt.
I think the first thing I would make are those beautiful squish mittens!
I love the poncho on the cover or the cable hat.
Omg!! Too many projects in my to do list. This may be bumped up to number 1. 😉
What a lovely giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome crochet book
I'd make the cabled hat and messenger bag (and maybe more)!
hopeful to win. What beautiful designs. Wish I did twitter and Instagram but FB is the only social media I will do! I waste enough time on FB don't need to waste more on twitter or Instagram. 🙂
I would start with the cream colored shawl/capelet shown. There isn't a pattern name provided, but I love the way it hangs.
Hello and thank you for this chance! 🙂
I would use the cable patterns mostly as inspiration. For example the cables of the "Fergus Shrug" would look really good on a big asymmetrical top. The "Purple Plaited Poncho Wrap"'s cables would look great on a shrug.
The "Lavena Poncho" looks so great, that I would only exchange one part of cables with other cables, otherwise I would just follow the pattern.
The "Cabled Boot Cuffs" and the "Braids and Weaves Alpaca Hat" are perfect. So I would not even have to calculate to get the result that I want. 🙂
I love the shawl! I would love to win this book just to have the pattern!
Oh WOW, I love this book especially love the poncho on the front!
Beautiful!! Do you use a cable hook to make cables when you crochet? I'm intrigued!
As a beginner i would tackle a smaller choice first !
The poncho!!
has to be a hat and scarf set ready for winter
Uh, everything! I definitely love the ponch.
would be so thankful to win!
Love the Poncho on the cover, also the scarf, the hat, the shawl, and I wonder what else is in the book–I'd LOVE TO WIN THIS Book !!!
Definitely want to give the poncho on the front cover a try.
The brownish red scarf in this post is so pretty. I would like that first. It has a really great texture.
I love the poncho on the cover. That would be my first project
I love the shawl-so pretty!
Thanks for the review. I've had my eye on this book for a while, and I feel a cable phase coming on.
I always try to post comments on raffles, but can never seem to find the proper place to comment… Hope this is it lol. All the cable crochet pictures look great, I would crochet all of them. I don't normally like ponchos, but that one is gorgeous!
This is a wonderful contest. My sister loves to crochet and I would love to give this to her as a gift.
I love your blog and patterns and of course the chance to win is awesome!!
I like the pink hat and scarf set.
I would like to try everything in the book! I have yet to try cables,so this would be a great opportunity! Thanks for the chance!Julie E
A hat and scarf.
the messenger bag is tops on the list for sure :0)
I would love to make that poncho on the cover – GORGEOUS!!
Thank you for reviewing this book. I have seen it advertised but never really paid any attention Toad it. The patterns are gorgeous.
What a lovely book! Thanks for the opportunity.
I'd make the messenger bag or that fabulous cover poncho!
I never even knew you could crochet cables! I would love to make a hat first.
A hat 🙂
I think the hat looks great.
I love that big chunky cardigan!! Definitely making that
love crochet
I'd give the scarf a go
I'd love to give the messenger bag a go from this book. It looks fab! x
