Step-By-Step Instructions

1. Start With the Foundation Chain

• Tie a slip knot, then chain 104 stitches, ensuring even tension.
  Save
• Add 3 more chains to transition into the first row, totaling 107 chains.

2. Row 1: Double Crochet Across

• Begin by double crocheting into the fourth chain from the hook.
• Continue double crocheting into every chain across.
• You should have 104 double crochets, including the chain 3 at the start, which counts as a stitch.

3. Row 2: Single Crochet in the Front Loop Only

• Chain 1, turn your work, and single crochet into the front loop only of each stitch across the row.
• Don’t forget to single crochet into the top of the chain 3 at the end. This creates a distinct ridge for added texture.

4. Row 3: Double Crochet Row

• Chain 3, turn, skip the first single crochet, and double crochet into the next stitch.
  Save
• Double crochet across the row, maintaining the pattern established in Row 1.

5. Row 4: First Bobble Row

• Chain 1, turn, and single crochet into the front loop only for the first 7 stitches.
• To make the bobble:
  • Yarn over, insert the hook into the next stitch, pull up a loop, and pull through two loops (as if starting a double crochet).
  • Repeat this process 4 times in the same stitch—you will have 5 loops on your hook.
  • Yarn over and pull through all 5 loops to finish the bobble.
• Follow the pattern of 7 single crochets and 1 bobble across the row.
  Save
• At the end, single crochet into the top stitch instead of making a bobble to maintain an even edge.

6. Row 5–7: Repeat the Double Crochet and Single Crochet Rows

• Repeat the process of one double crochet row (Row 3) followed by one front-loop single crochet row (Row 2).
• This continues the base of your blanket while balancing the bobble texture.

7. Row 8: Staggered Bobble Row

• Chain 1, turn, and single crochet into the front loop only for 3 stitches.
• Create your bobble in the fourth stitch, then single crochet into the next 4 front loops.
• Repeat the pattern of 3 single crochets, 1 bobble, 4 single crochets across the row.
• This staggered arrangement offsets the bobbles, creating a visually appealing look.

8. Repeat Rows for Desired Length

• Repeat the Row 1 to Row 8 pattern until your blanket reaches your preferred size.

Special Features

• Textured Bobbles: These add depth and visual interest while maintaining a cozy look.
• Ridge Design: Created by the front-loop single crochets, giving a subtle, stylish element to the blanket.
• Customizable Size: Instructions in the full pattern allow you to modify the blanket's size and calculate how much yarn you’ll need.

Level of Difficulty

This project is beginner-friendly but also engaging enough for intermediate crocheters. The stitches used (chains, single crochets, double crochets, and bobbles) are not overly complicated. Staggered bobbles and maintaining even tension might require more focus, but the steps are straightforward with a bit of practice.

Tutor’s Suggestions

• Use Bulky Yarn: The super bulky yarn creates a softer, chunkier blanket that works up faster.
• Maintain Consistent Tension: Even stitches are essential for creating a neat and professional-looking project.
• Tag the Tutor: Share your finished blanket on Instagram and tag the creator for feedback and inspiration.

Uses

• Home Décor: A luxury throw for your couch or bed.
• Baby Blanket: Adjust the size to make a warm, one-of-a-kind gift for a baby shower.
• Seasonal Gift: A wonderful present for birthdays, holidays, or housewarmings.

Pro Tip

When working with bobbles, you can pull the stitch slightly tighter while transitioning back to single crochet. This "pops" the bobble out neatly and ensures definition in the overall texture of the blanket.
