Smarties Bobble Blanket by Melu Crochet

This sweet bobble blanket is perfect for a handmade baby gift, adding soft texture, gentle colour, and playful style to any nursery. Designed with simple stitches and a bold colour layout, it creates a cosy, eye-catching finish that is both fun to make and rewarding to complete.

Raised contrasting bobbles pop through the surface to create playful texture, while the dense stitch pattern forms a solid fabric with no large gaps, making it suitable for little ones.

This pattern is written with advanced beginners in mind and includes clear step-by- step instructions, a full colour recipe, yarn quantities, and a photo tutorial to guide you through creating the contrasting colour bobbles.

The Smarties Bobble Blanket by Melu Crochet is available now in my Etsy shop, my Lovecrafts shop, Wool Warehouse and on Ravelry!

I was taking a photo of this blanket when I had just started making it and my daughter was eating Smarties – she lined them up next to it and the Smarties blanket was born!
