Designing The Bobble Stripe Blanket

Updated September 21, 2022

When it comes to designing I can honestly say I don’t have a specific routine in which I follow. For this crochet baby blanket it started with the colours. At this point I didn’t even know that I was going to create a baby blanket let alone crocheting something that would turn into something so sentimental.

I was drawn to these dreamy pastel shades and knew that I want to create something using them. The colours I’m referring to are Stylecraft Special DK in Cream, Duck Egg, Clematis, Parma Violet and Wisteria from Love Crafts.

With the yarn and hook at the ready I started experimenting with different textures, playing around with a variety of different stitches to see how they would sit alongside each other. Whilst I was having a play around the idea of a blanket came to mind however for whatever reason I put this project to one side unfinished. Fast forward a year I found out I was pregnant with my first child. As nesting began I picked up this project and felt inspired to create a baby blanket.

Bobble Stripe Blanket

It’s funny how sometimes with crochet you can feel so inspired initially with colours, yarn or even when you have a specific design in mind but the timing along with all the other attributes has to align because wether you are a crochet designer or crochet for a hobby, crocheting really is a labour of love, right?

The Bobble Stripe Blanket was the first handmade item I made for my daughter and now this pattern will always hold a special place in my heart.

When I became pregnant for the second time I again felt inspired to make a baby blanket so they had one each along with a story and inspiration behind it: The Everleigh Blanket.

PATTERN DETAILS

The pattern is written in beginner friendly terms with an easy to use table to see what stitch and what colour to use next. You can purchase an ad free, printable PDF of the pattern below. The pattern can be downloaded in either UK or US terms depending on your preference.

Or you can find the free pattern here: Free Pattern: The Bobble Stripe Blanket

PATTERN ERRATA

This applies if you are watching the video tutorial and altering your sizing (the PDF pattern has already be adjusted)*
If you are doing any other multiple of 24 (not including 96+1 like I have done in the sample) The bobble row must do 4 half trebles, change colour on the 5th half treble and then bobble on the 6th. This 6 stitch pattern will repeat all the way along. Do not bobble in the last stitch of that row.

VIDEO TUTORIALS

The video tutorial is broken up into two videos which you can find below.

I’d love to see you working on your blankets and your completed Bobble Stripe Blanket, so please make sure you tag #bobblestripeblanket on your social media. Do forget to follow @bellacococrochet on Instagram and Facebook.

      Hi Shannon this really does depend on how big you are making the blanket, what hook size you are using and what your tension is 🙂

    I increased the size of my blanket to 120 stitches plus 1 as a turning stitch but when I did the first bobble row I only had 4 stitches remaining. 120 is a multiple of 24 and I don’t understand why the pattern is now not working? I have rechecked all the stitches and have followed the pattern correctly.

    I love this pattern and would like to purchase it, but in my cart, it looks like it’s the UK pattern. Once I purchase it, is there an option for downloading in US terms? I just wanted to find out for sure before I purchase. I’m a newbie to crochet and the UK will confuse me for sure. lol Thanks for your help and offering a beautiful pattern!

      Hi Tina

      Once you purchase the pattern, you’ll be able to choose between the US and UK PDF to download! 🙂
