Ziggy Pop Blanket

Pop some modern colour and texture into your home with this bold, playful blanket. The pattern is suitable for an intermediate skill level, with clear instructions and a photo tutorial to guide you step by step, especially when making the bobbles pop in a different colour from your working yarn.

A standout feature of this design is the use of multicoloured, colour-changing yarn for the bobbles. There’s no need to constantly switch colours or purchase multiple skeins, which saves time, money, and effort. These shorter gradient yarns can be tricky to match with patterns, but here they truly shine, bursting through against a solid background. You get a vibrant, eye-catching effect with none of the usual hassle.

This design uses both DK and Aran weight yarns. The thicker Aran yarn is especially effective at concealing the carried yarn, keeping the finish neat and polished. The bobble stitch creates a soft, tactile fabric with loads of texture and personality.
