This blanket has a beautiful texture and works up so quickly. It would be a great project if you need easy baby or toddler gift. The bobbles on a baby blanket are also a great sensory experience for babies to feel as well.
This blanket is made with Lion Brand’s new Naptime yarn. Using that velvety yarn makes this blanket feel luxurious and is also easy to work with. It can also be made using any worsted weight yarn.

Notes
- The bobbles pop out on the opposite side. As you are working them, you will be looking at the wrong side while making that row.
- I will provide 3 options to start this blanket. Depending on your skill level, you can pick which one you would like to start with. The reason for this is to provide you with the option to prevent having your chain go all the way across in the same color.
- In the bobble stitch, they are made using 6 partial dc sts instead of 5. Because of the type of yarn I used, I needed to make an extra partial dc in the bobble to really make it pop.
- When you switch colors on row 46, it will be a row with bobbles. It has to start with the row of bobbles or they will come out on the wrong side.
