Bobble Stitch Blanket Knitting Pattern

February 18, 2021

Bobble Stitch Blanket Knitting Pattern

Last month I posted a bobble stitch crochet blanket pattern, which I called the Rhombus Throw. Because this pattern received so much love from my crochet followers, I decided to make a knit version for those of you who prefer to knit as well! Just like the Rhombus throw, this blanket also creates a repeating diamond geometric pattern with the bobbles.

This time I made the blanket with Knit Picks Brava worsted weight yarn in white. I’m obsessed with white yarn right now, so you will consequently be seeing a lot more of it over the next few months. I went a little nuts with my last yarn order and only noticed after it arrived that a huge chunk of the yarn was white! I guess I just love how clean white looks, and how it can not only brighten up any room, but also any outfit. Not to mention, white goes with everything! You really don’t need to worry if it will match your decor nor will it clash with an items in your wardrobe.

I know that some of you may not yet have knit a bobble stitch, which is why I created a video tutorial to walk you through how to knit the bobble stitch as well as explain how this blanket is made. You can find the video, titled “How to Knit a Bobble Stitch Blanket”, on the Leelee Knits YouTube Channel where it is posted along with more knitting tutorials that I think you will enjoy. Alternatively, you can scroll down to where it is embedded on this page just above the written pattern.


I have written out and posted the free pattern below on this page.

Bobble Stitch Blanket Knitting Pattern

Materials:

To make this blanket, you will need the following supplies:

  • US Size 9 (5.5 mm) circular knitting needles (min 32” cord).
  • 7 Skeins Knit Picks Brava Worsted Weight Yarn in White.
  • Scissors.
  • Large Tapestry/Yarn needle to weave in ends.

Finished Size:

Finished blanket measures:  34” X 55”.

Gauge:

16 stitches X 20 rows = 4” in stockinette stitch.

Abbreviations & Special Stitches:

K: Knit.

P: Purl.

BS: Bobble Stitch – Knit into the front and back of stitch twice to increase one stitch to four stiches. Turn and knit the four stitches that were just made.  Turn and knit the four stitches again.  Decrease back to one stitch by slipping each stitch over the stitch in front of it until only one stitch remains.

Bobble Stitch Blanket Video Tutorial:

The following video tutorial will guide you through the process of creating this blanket and knitting the bobble stitch. I recommend that you watch the video first, and then work through the pattern.

Pattern:

This blanket is knit flat in rows from the bottom up, using circular knitting needles to hold the large number of stitches. 

If you’d like to change the width of the blanket, cast on a multiple of 24 + 17, plus 12 border stitches (6 on each side).

Bottom Border:

Cast on 125 stitches.

The bottom border is worked over eight rows in seed stitch as follows:

Rows 1-8: *K1, P1; repeat from * to last stitch; knit the last stitch.

    Love white yarn as well. AlI different shades of white, but can’t go wrong with a pure white. Have to try this pattern. Love the tiny bobbles. Reminds of Martha Washington cotton bed spreads.
