Flo's Bubble Bobble Blanket

What is Being Made

Flo's Bubble Bobble Blanket is a crochet throw blanket designed by Fiona Campbell of Flo's Crafty Crochet. This project creates a cozy blanket featuring decorative bobble stitches that add textural interest and visual appeal to the finished piece.

Craft and Primary Technique

This is a crochet project, making it ideal for crafters working with a crochet hook rather than knitting needles. The blanket is classified as a beginner-level project, making it accessible to those new to crochet or looking for a straightforward, rewarding make.

Stitches Used

The pattern employs several fundamental crochet stitches to create its structure and decorative elements:

• Single Crochet (SC) – A basic, tight stitch that forms the foundation of many crochet projects
• Double Crochet (DC) – A taller stitch that adds drape and covers area efficiently
• Half Double Crochet (HDC) – A mid-height stitch that bridges the gap between single and double crochet
• Slip Stitch (SL ST) – Used to join rounds or move yarn across stitches without adding height
• Bobble Stitch (Bst) – The signature textured stitch that gives this blanket its distinctive name and dimensional bubble effect
• Chain (CH) – The foundational stitch used to create the base and turning chains throughout the pattern

Materials and Tools

This blanket is worked in super chunky weight yarn, which allows for quick progress and a satisfyingly cozy finished product. The pattern calls for:

• Hook size: L hook / 8mm crochet hook
• Yarn: James C Brett Flutterby Chunky yarn in Cream (2 skeins) as the primary color, with 1 skein each of additional colors of the maker's choice for accent or contrast

The use of super chunky yarn with a large 8mm hook means stitches are bold and easy to see, making this pattern particularly suitable for beginners who are still developing their tension control and stitch recognition skills.
