I love a bobble stitch blanket and since designing the Superhero one in 2018 I’ve meant to make another but just haven’t got around to it. Well here we are, 2022 and the Christmas Blanket has appeared. Consisting of nine 10 inch / 25cm squares worked from a chart with a simple single and half double crochet boarder the blanket measures 34 inches / 86 cm square. It’s perfect to throw over the sofa or to keep laps warm while watching a film.

Difficulty
Working in US terms throughout, you will need to be able to do a single crochet, double crochet and half double. The squares are worked in bobble stitch from charts, instructions provided.
