The Bobble Stripe Crochet Blanket is a pattern that’s incredibly close to my heart. I started crocheting this baby blanket and then put it down for roughly a year before picking it back up again when I was pregnant. This crochet blanket was the first thing I made for my little girl, so you can see why it’s such a personal pattern.TABLE OF CONTENTS1. Designing the Blanket 2.

Crochet Baby blanket patterns VIEW MORE▼ Designing the Blanket This crochet baby blanket design 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 five dreamy pastel shades by Stylecraft Yarns. I started experimenting with different textures, playing around with a variety of different stitches to see how they would sit alongside each other and decided these stitches would make a lovely blanket. However, 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. It’s definitely one of my favourite crochet patterns. I find the act of getting the stripes, bobbles and colours in the right place takes just the right amount of focus to make this a mindful make. Colour Palette: Stylecraft Special DK Wisteria 1432 Duck Egg 1820 Clematis 1390 Cream 1005 Parma Violet 1724 Materials & tools Yarn: DK (Light worsted weight) yarn in 5 colours. I have used Style Craft Special DK in colours; Cream, Duck Egg, Clematis, Parma Violet and Wisteria. If you’re choosing your own colour scheme, Colour A should be the colour you would like your bobbles to be. I suggest that you choose a neutral or lighter colour for this.

I made a sneaky start on the bobble stitch pattern last week and am loving it. Just a question: on the HTr row after the Granny rows, the pdf pattern says to skip the first Tr but the free pattern on line does not mention this and the videos don’t show you doing it. I am now following the pdf and that works fine, but realise that not everyone will have the pdf Does that make sense? Reply Lynda April 19, 2020 at 4:00 pm Hi Sarah, I’ve just got to row 35 and I feel that it should be colour E not D. I might be wrong Reply Suzanne April 26, 2020 at 4:09 pm I have reached this point as well, I was thinking E as you have already done a granny row in d,c and b, but no E Reply Katie April 28, 2020 at 7:18 pm Hi. In the pattern row 1 says “chain 2, start in the 3rd chain from the hook”. But in the video tutorial it’s chain 1 and work into the 2nd stitch from hook? Reply Tracey Sparkes May 6, 2020 at 8:51 pm I want to use the same colours as you, can you tell me which letter relates to which colour please Reply Samantha July 2, 2020 at 11:04 pm Hello I have just started the my 2nd row of bobble stitches & it is on the back of my work & not on the front? Am following the pattern above but after row 9 should there be another row in between (which would of been the foundation chain) Hope this makes sense! Many Thanks X Reply Deepika September 10, 2020 at 8:01 am Hi. What I would like to crochet a toddler blanket. How many chains should I start with? How much yarn do I need? Reply Evelyn October 12, 2020 at 2:04 am Are there US instructions available for the bobble stripe blanket? Reply Heidi June 1, 2021 at 5:39 pm This is a beautiful blanket, thanks for the pattern. I just have two questions: approximately how much yarn did you use? and I noticed some differences between the video tutorial and pattern. Which one should I follow? Reply Tracey McKenna January 9, 2024 at 4:35 pm Hello I am working on the bobble stripe blanket On row 4, I am on the wrong side and pushing the bobbes through to the right side as instructed, however on the repeat, bobble row 13, I am actually starting that on the right side. Is that correct? Someone above has asked the same question. So should there be 2 rows of hdc at row 10. So like a sneaky row 10.1 and then carry on as usual for row 11 as a sc? thanks so much Reply Judy December 6, 2024 at 4:29 am It is advertised as free, yet when you scroll down it is blacked out.m Reply Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
