Hexi Bobble Blanket by Little Duck Crochet
What is Being Made
The Hexi Bobble Blanket is a crochet throw blanket designed as an excellent stash-buster project. This intermediate-level blanket features a hexagonal motif construction and measures approximately 31 inches by 33 inches when completed. The finished blanket is composed of 46 full hexagonal motifs and 6 half hexagonal motifs, creating a cohesive patchwork design that showcases multiple yarn colors in a single coordinated piece.
Techniques and Construction
This blanket employs a modular crochet construction technique, where individual hexagonal units are worked separately and then assembled together. The hexagonal motif approach allows crafters to work with small amounts of yarn, making it ideal for using up leftover yarn from previous projects. The blanket features a contrasting cream-colored border that frames the assembled hexagons, providing visual definition and a finished appearance to the completed throw.
Stitches Used
The Hexi Bobble Blanket pattern requires knowledge of several fundamental and intermediate crochet stitches:
- Single Crochet (Sc) – A basic short stitch used for structure and shaping
- Double Crochet (Dc) – A taller stitch that creates drape and covers area efficiently
- Bobble Stitch – A decorative textured stitch that creates dimensional, rounded bumps across the hexagonal motifs, giving the blanket its distinctive tactile appearance
- Double Crochet 2 Together (Dc2tog) – A decrease stitch used for shaping the hexagonal forms
Materials and Tools
The Hexi Bobble Blanket pattern calls for DK weight yarn, which is a lightweight yarn ideal for creating blankets with good drape and structure. The original pattern was worked using Stylecraft Special DK, a 100% acrylic yarn available in 100-gram balls with approximately 295 meters (322 yards) per ball. To recreate the blanket as designed, crafters will need 17 different shades of acrylic DK weight yarn plus a contrasting cream yarn for the border.
A 4mm crochet hook is used to work with the DK weight yarn, providing the appropriate gauge and fabric density. A yarn needle is required for sewing in ends and assembling the hexagonal motifs together. The pattern is written in U.S. crochet terminology, ensuring clarity for crafters working from American pattern conventions.
Difficulty Level and Customization
Rated as an intermediate project, the Hexi Bobble Blanket is suitable for crocheters with foundational skills who are ready to work with multiple stitches and modular construction techniques. The pattern notes that using different yarn weights and hook sizes will alter the final dimensions of the blanket, allowing for customization based on available materials and desired finished size.
