Bobble Field Blanket

Bobble Field Blanket by Little Golden Nook

Project Overview

The Bobble Field Blanket is a beginner-friendly crochet project designed to create a large, textured throw blanket. This downloadable PDF pattern from independent designer Little Golden Nook produces a finished blanket measuring 114cm x 114cm (44.5 x 44.5 inches), making it an ideal size for a cozy lap blanket or decorative throw.

What Is Being Made

This project creates a substantial blanket featuring an all-over bobble stitch pattern. The design showcases bobbles worked in contrast colors against a main color background, creating a dimensional, textured surface. The finished piece is a square blanket suitable for home décor, bedding, or as a gift.

Crochet Techniques Used

The primary technique featured in this pattern is the bobble stitch worked in contrast colors. The designer provides tutorials for executing bobble stitches in multiple colors on Paintbox Yarns, available on their Instagram (@littlegoldennook). This technique creates raised, dimensional texture across the blanket surface. The pattern is written in US crochet terms.

Stitches and Stitch Details

The pattern centers on the bobble stitch as the primary stitch element. According to the gauge information, the blanket is worked at a density of 7 rows and 9 stitches (3 bobbles) per 10cm, indicating a relatively open, textured fabric that showcases the bobble stitch definition.

Yarn and Materials

This project uses super chunky weight yarn in multiple colors:

• Main Color (MC): 14 x 100g skeins of Paintbox Yarns Simply Super Chunky in 'Vanilla Cream'
• Contrast Color 1: 4 x 100g skeins of Paintbox Yarns Simply Super Chunky in 'Champagne White'
• Contrast Color 2: 2 x 100g skeins in Melon Sorbet and Peach Orange
• Contrast Color 3: 1 x 100g skein each in Stormy Grey, Daffodil Yellow, Mustard, and Vintage Pink

The pattern notes that Paintbox Yarns color ranges may be found in both the Simply Super Chunky and Wool Mix Super Chunky lines. Crafters also have the option to use double-stranded Simply Chunky yarn as an alternative. The designer suggests referring to the Bobble Garden Cushion pattern for additional color substitution ideas, such as swapping Paper White and Coffee Brown for other cream and brown tones.

Difficulty Level

This pattern is rated as beginner level, making it accessible to newer crocheters while still producing a visually impressive finished blanket. The super chunky yarn weight works up quickly, and the bobble stitch technique is foundational.

Gauge Information

The gauge is provided as 7 rows and 9 stitches (3 bobbles) measured over 10cm. The designer notes that gauge is only essential if the crafter wants to achieve the exact finished dimensions shown in the pattern.
