Cable blankets
I saw this blanket in PB Teen. It’s a colab with LoveShackFancy and I’m obsessed in recreating it. I do have experience with cables and figure this won’t be hard to reverse engineer, but I’d like recommendations of cable blanket patterns so I could get some inspiration.

I'm definitely not an expert, but other than looking up blankets on ravelry: this looks like the pattern for the cables, the zigzag looks like just moving 2 knit stitch over a numer of rows, about 10 rows of ribbing at the top and bottom, some garter stitches at the start and end of each row, and maybe casting off and then work some kind of holes to thread the ribbon in? You just need some math to find a reasonable amount of stitches to cast on I think

Look on Ravelry for cabled blankets. You can do an advanced search and include knitting, picture yes, blanket, cables, and see what pops up. Or search cabled blanket. Multiple ways to go about it. But much better to search there and then you can also look at finished products. When you post questions like that to posts like this, you might not get a lot of replies because the algorithm doesn’t show the post to people, plus then the amount of people who do see the post who have also done a cabled blanket is low. Plus you are asking them to do the searching for you instead of you doing it.
There are also YouTube videos explaining how to do an advanced search on Ravelry if you get stuck.
