Melu Crochet: Over the Rainbobble Blanket

Add some bobbles to your rainbow! This cheerful blanket has been designed to be simple and relaxing to make, but look amazing! The bobbly texture adds a 3D element that is tactile and sensory.

Over the Rainbobble Blanket by Melu Crochet

My Over the Rainbobble Blanket is now available in my Etsy shop, my LoveCrafts shop and buy now on Ravelry

Make one for a new baby, as a lap blanket or for your new puppy like I did!

I have designed it to be easy to follow, so it is beginner friendly and I give you the colour recipe and amounts of yarn you will need.

There is a photo tutorial included to help you with the bobble stitch which is crocheted as you make the blanket and therefore won’t shed or fall off.
