Hello!

I’m Nicolina and I’m Tiffany’s second oldest daughter. I’ve been crocheting for almost a year now and I’m excited to share this new pattern. I learned bobbles! Definitely not as hard as I thought as a beginner. This was great practice for me to get the hang of counting stitches so the bobbles all line up perfectly.

I chose Caron Simply Soft yarn in Dark Country Blue, Plum Wine, and White. I love the navy blue and pink together and I was excited to find it in this yarn.

This blanket uses three different stitches: single crochet, herringbone half double crochet and DC4tog bobbles. If you’d like to see a tutorial of how to work the stitches in this blanket together, you can watch this video before you get started!

Materials

4 skeins White, 1 skein Plum Wine, 1 skein Dark Country Blue

Size H/5.00mm, tapestry needle, scissors

Size

Finished size 29 in x 32 in

Stitches

Single Crochet (SC): Insert your hook, yarn over (YO) and pull up a loop, YO, pull through two loops.

Herringbone Half Double Crochet (HHDC): YO, insert your hook, YO, pull up a loop and pull directly through the first loop on your hook. Then YO and pull through the remaining two loops.

Double Crochet 4 Together (DC4TOG) Bobble: YO, insert your hook, YO and pull up a loop, YO and pull through 2 loops. Then, *YO again, insert your hook into the same space, YO, pull up a loop, YO and pull through 2 loops. Repeat from * 2 more times until you have 5 loops on your hook. Then YO and pull through all 5 loops on your hook.

Pattern

Chain 96 in blue. (If you’d like to make your blanket bigger or smaller, the pattern repeat is a multiple 6.)

ROW 1: Starting in the second chain from the hook, work 1 HHDC in each chain. CH 1 and turn.

ROWS 2 – 10: (turning chain does not count as stitch) Work 1 HHDC in each stitch across the row. CH 1 and turn. When you reach the end of row 10, pull through with White on the last stitch when you still have two loops left on your hook. Cut the Dark Country Blue yarn, leaving a tail long enough to weave in later. CH 1 with White and turn.

ROWS 11 – 17: Work 1 HHDC in each stitch across the row. CH 1 and turn. At the end of the last row, pull through with Plum Wine, and CH 1 and turn.

ROW 18: Work 1 SC in each of the first 5 stitches, then work 1 DC4TOG Bobble in the next stitch. Continue the pattern of working 5 SCs, then a DC4TOG Bobble until you reach the end of the row. You should end with 5 SCs. On the last SC, pull through with White. Cut the Plum Wine and leave a tail long enough to weave in later. CH 1 with White and turn.

ROWS 19 – 25: Work 1 HHDC in each stitch across the row with White. CH 1 and turn. At the end of the last row, pull through with Plum Wine, and CH 1 and turn.

ROW 26: Repeat row 18 in Plum Wine. CH 1 and turn.

ROW 27: Work 1 SC in each stitch across the row. CH 1 and turn. 

ROW 28: Repeat row 18 in Plum Wine. CH 1 and turn.

ROW 29: Work 1 SC in each stitch across the row. CH 1 and turn. 

ROW 30: Repeat row 18 in Plum Wine. On the last SC, pull through with White. Cut the Plum Wine and leave a tail long enough to weave in later. CH 1 with White and turn. 

ROWS 31 – 37: With White, work 1 HHDC in each stitch across the row. CH 1 and turn. 

ROW 38: Repeat row 18 in Plum Wine.

ROWS 39 – 51: With White, work 1 HHDC in each stitch across the row. CH 1 and turn. 

ROWS 52 – 61: With Dark Country Blue, work 1 HHDC in each stitch across the row. CH 1 and turn. 

ROWS 62 – 74: With White, work 1 HHDC in each stitch across the row. CH 1 and turn. At the end of the last row, pull through with Plum Wine.

Repeat rows 18 through 38, then work 7 rows of HHDC in White and end with 10 rows of HHDC in Dark Country Blue.

Border

Weave in all ends. 

Round 1: With White, pull up a loop in any corner and chain one. Work one round of single crochet around the blanket, working 3 SCs into each corner. When you reach the corner you started with it, slip stitch into the starting stitch, chain 1 and turn. 

Rounds 2 – 4: Work one round of HHDC, working 3 HHDCs into each corner. When you reach the corner you started with it, slip stitch into the starting stitch, chain 1 and turn. 

When you finish the last round, slip stitch into the starting corner and tie off.
