I tweaked Hannah’s Diamond Berry Blanket and turned it into this Diamond Bobble Blanket. Really the only difference is the stitches used. Where she used single crochet, I used herringbone half. Instead of using the berry stitch, I used dc4tog bobbles.

Here’s a picture of the original pattern:

If you’ve made this before, you’ll know that it’s much easier than it looks! The counting is a breeze once you get the first row established. 

Below is a picture of the back of the blanket. I like to include this so you’ll know that the bobbles are only on one side of the blanket.

Finishing with fringe: 

Cut approximately 11 inches of yarn pieces. (You will need lots.) Use 2 strands together to fold in half and feed through the top loops of each stitch. Then open the loop and pull the tails through to secure. (Please watch video below if you need a demonstration.)

You can choose to cut the ends to even them out after they are all attached. 

I found working with Red Heart Dreamy that the blanket did not need blocking. I wash the blanket in a laundry bag on gentle, then lay the blanket flat to dry.
