Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in three colors: soft lavender, creamy white, and mint green
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Use the long-tail cast-on method to cast on 120 stitches onto your knitting needle. Ensure your cast-on is loose enough to allow for flexibility.
2. Create the Border:
   • Work in garter stitch (knit every row) for 10 rows. This will create a sturdy border for your blanket.
3. Begin the Bobble Pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches across the row.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Knit all stitches across the row.
   • Row 3:
     • *Knit 4, then make a bobble:
     • To make a bobble, knit into the front, back, front, back, and front again of the next stitch.
     • Turn your work and purl 5 stitches.
     • Turn your work again and knit 5 stitches.
     • Turn your work and purl 5 stitches once more.
     • Turn your work and knit 5 stitches. Now pass the second, third, fourth, and fifth stitches over the first stitch to complete the bobble.
     • Repeat from * to the end of the row.
   • Row 4: Knit all stitches across the row.
4. Repeat the Pattern: Continue to repeat Rows 1-4 until the blanket measures 30 inches from the cast-on edge, ensuring to end with Row 4.
5. Create the Top Border: Work in garter stitch for another 10 rows to create the top border of your blanket.
6. Bind Off: Bind off all stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the edges.
7. Finishing Touches: Weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle. Block the blanket to the desired measurements to enhance the shape and texture.
