Bobble-Wobble Blanket

For someone who doesn't like crocheting blankets, I've been working on a lot of blankets recently. But when new nieces are on their way (yay!), blankets gotta happen. So I decided to make it more interesting for myself and design a new baby blanket. Something simple, yet still fun. But then I had a dilemma: what to call it? Chevron Bobble Blanket? Colorblock Blanket? Descriptive, but boring.  In desperation, I asked my 3 year old and he declared that it should be a, "Bobble-Wobble Blanket." So why not? (The perks of having my own blog: I can give patterns ridiculous names and no one else gets veto power). No matter what you want to call it, I'm sure you'll love this cute baby blanket pattern! 

This pattern is essentially just chevrons made from bobble stitches repeated over and over again. I decided to use four colors for mine, but you can easily choose as many or as few colors as you'd like to use. This pattern is perfect for personalizing. ​

As written, my blanket is about 34" wide and 40" tall, but you can can easily adjust the size to make it bigger or smaller. As long as you start with a multiple of 12 sts + 3, it should work without any issues. So let's check out the pattern! 

If you'd like an ad-free, printable PDF version of this pattern, you can find one on Ravelry.

You can add a border to yours if you'd like to, but I decided to just embrace the color block look and leave it bare. If I end up changing my mind about that before I send it on its way, I'll be sure to post an update about to the pattern. But it'll probably stay as is, since I'm pretty happy with it. 

And there you have it! I hope that you enjoy this simple blanket pattern! Remember, you can find an ad-free printable PDF of this pattern on Craftsy. If you make one of these blankets, I'd love to hear about how it goes. And, as always, feel free to contact me with any questions or comments about the pattern. You can reach me in the comments section below or on social media. Happy hooking!
