Мобильный LiveInternet Granny Bobble Blanket | Soriluli

With the nights drawing in and the evenings getting chillier, this is the perfect time to make blankets! I haven't made a blanket since my granny stripe last winter; I enjoyed making it so much, with each stripe subtly changing the whole and keeping me going until I was quite disappointed to finish it...

I would like to enjoy creating another one in the same way, but I don't really want another striped blanket, nor do I want a blanket made from small squares/hexagons with fiddling bits of colour changes. So my thoughts inevitably took me to a giant granny, but with a twist!

I love bobbles, so this afternoon found me experimenting to create a granny made from bobbles and I am finally happy with the pattern. It is quite a stash buster and uses a lot of yarn, but it makes a wonderfully thick, cosy fabric – perfect for winter. I will be plotting my progress of the blanket on this blog, but in the meantime I share the pattern below.

Granny Bobble Blanket

EDITED 5 SEPTEMBER 2012

A FEW PEOPLE FOUND THAT THEIR WORK DID NOT LAY FLAT. I DID REMOVE THE PATTERN FOR A WHILE, BUT HAD MANY REQUESTS TO PUT THE PATTERN BACK UP AGAIN, SO I AM PUBLISHING IT AGAIN - I CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT YOUR WORK WILL LIE FLAT - IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS DO NOT TRY THIS PATTERN.

Oddments of dk yarn

4.5mm hook

This pattern is written in American crochet terms.

~~Ch 4 & sl st into first ch to form a ring.~~

Row 1: Into ring; MFB, ch 4, *MB, ch 4, rep from * 2 times more, sl st into top of ch 3. Fasten off

Row 2: with a new colour join into any of the corner spaces(I start in a corner as it gives me more stitches to work over the end of the new yarn – then I don't need to embroider the end in later).

~~MFB, ch 4, MB (first corner made), ch 3, *(MB, ch 4, MB) in next space, ch 3; rep from * 2 times more. Sl st into 1^st bobble, fasten off.~~

**EDITED, 5th Feb 2012 - As there was a problem with the middle of the blanket not laying flat I have therefore changed the beginning of the pattern. Start with a magic circle and into that work - MFB, ch 4, MB (first corner made), ch 3, *(MB, ch 4, MB) in next space, ch 3; rep from * 2 times more. Sl st into 1^st bobble, fasten off. Continue with Row 3 below... Basically I've taken out the first row and the pattern now begins with the second row in a magic circle. I do apologise to any of you who have already started this and found the problem - I was too quick to share! sorry....

Row 3: with a new colour join into any corner space. MFB, ch 4, MB into corner space, ch 3, MB into next space, ch 3, *(MB, ch 4, MB) into corner space, ch 3, MB in next space, ch 3; rep from * 2 times more. Sl st into 1^st bobble, fasten off.

Continue in this pattern, doing 4 chains between each corner bobbles and 3 chains between all other side bobbles until the desired size has been reached.

I hope you like this pattern, and I would love to know if you are bobbling along with me.

Happy crocheting
