Bobble Blanket by Arianna Frasca
What Is Being Made
The Bobble Blanket is a cozy knitted throw designed by Arianna Frasca. This project creates a textured blanket featuring bobble stitch details, perfect for adding warmth and visual interest to any space. The blanket is worked flat in a straightforward construction method, making it an excellent choice for knitters building their skills.
Construction Method and Techniques
This blanket is knitted from the bottom up, worked flat using back-and-forth rows rather than in the round. The pattern repeats are based on a multiple of 17 stitches, creating a consistent, organized fabric structure. The bobble stitch technique adds dimensional texture throughout the piece, with each bobble creating a raised, three-dimensional element against the background fabric. The pattern includes photo support to guide you through the construction process, making it easier to visualize each step.
Stitches and Stitch Details
The primary stitch used in this design is the bobble stitch, which creates the signature textured appearance. Bobbles are formed by working multiple stitches into a single stitch and then decreasing them back down, producing a small, puffy knot-like element. The pattern is written in standard American knitting terms, ensuring clarity for English-speaking knitters regardless of regional variations in terminology.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
The Bobble Blanket is designed to be worked with US 15 / 10 mm needles and bulky weight yarn (7 wpi). The pattern is shown using Ice Yarns Alpaca Gold in Bulky weight, a blend of 50% acrylic, 25% alpaca, and 25% wool that provides warmth and softness. If you prefer alternatives, the pattern accommodates flexibility: you can substitute with 2 strands of standard weight 4 (medium, worsted, aran, or afghan weight) or 4 strands of standard weight 3 (light, DK, or light worsted) yarn.
Yardage requirements vary by finished size: the pattern offers multiple sizing options ranging from 322 yards (294 meters) for the smallest size up to 3,572 yards (3,266 meters) for the largest option. The gauge is 10 stitches by 12 rows over 10 centimeters (4 inches), which is typical for bulky yarn and helps determine the final dimensions of your blanket.
Additional Supplies
- Tapestry needle for weaving in yarn ends
- Measuring tape or ruler for checking gauge and finished dimensions
