I had so much fun making my last pattern for the diamond grid Knit Bobble Stitch Blanket, that I decided to continue working with bobbles. This time, I came up with the idea to use the bobbles to create a chevron pattern on a stockinette background. I have to say I’m pretty happy with the end result. I think this blanket will be a favourite because it is not only easy to make, but it also has a classic look to it. I think this blanket will look great with any style of decor.
If you already know how to knit and purl, then all you have to learn is how to make a bobble stitch, which is super easy! I made a very quick YouTube video on how to knit a bobble stitch (also posted below on this page with the pattern) that you can watch before you get started. I know that once you watch the video you’ll have enough confidence to practice your bobble stitches with this pattern.
Yarn Selection
Last month, I was feeling adventurous and I decided to try out a new yarn line from Knit Picks: Twill Worsted Weight Yarn. I really loved the look of the Rose Water Heather colour, so I ordered a bunch of skeins with the intention of making a blanket. I honestly didn’t know that to expect since I like to stick with my favourites, but I was so happy that I will definitely be ordering more Twill. It is a great yarn for blankets because of the bouncy drape it creates when knitted up in stockinette stitch. It’s also machine washable which is a huge bonus for anything that may need to go through the wash. I can’t wait to try out some of the other colours in this lin
