Sensory Baby Bobble Blanket
Crocheting a sensory baby bobble blanket is a great way to create a cozy and stimulating environment for infants. This type of blanket provides a variety of textures and shapes that help stimulate a baby’s senses, promoting their overall development. In this article, we will provide step-by-step instructions on how to crochet a sensory baby bobble blanket.
Materials Needed:
Worsted weight yarn in three colors
Crochet hook (size H)
Scissors
Yarn needle
Step 1: Chain Stitch
To start your sensory baby bobble blanket, you will need to create a foundation chain. Using your first color of yarn, create a slip knot and chain 88 stitches. This will be the length of your blanket.
Step 2: Row 1
Once you have created your foundation chain, start working on the first row. Single crochet into the second chain from the hook and continue single crocheting across the chain. At the end of the row, chain one and turn.
Step 3: Row 2
For the second row, you will begin creating the bobble stitch. To do this, yarn over, insert your hook into the next stitch, and pull up a loop. Yarn over again, insert your hook into the same stitch, and pull up another loop. You should now have four loops on your hook.
Yarn over again and pull through all four loops on your hook. This will create a bobble stitch. Continue working across the row, alternating single crochets and bobble stitches. At the end of the row, chain one and turn.
Step 4: Rows 3-6
Repeat row 2 for the next four rows, alternating colors after each row. You can choose any colors that you like to create a visually stimulating and vibrant blanket.
Step 5: Row 7
For the seventh row, you will be creating a popcorn stitch. This is similar to the bobble stitch but with more loops. To create a popcorn stitch, yarn over, insert your hook into the next stitch, and pull up a loop. Yarn over again and insert your hook into the same stitch, pulling up another loop. You should now have six loops on your hook.
Continue in this way until you have five sets of six loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all loops on your hook, then chain one to secure the stitch. Continue working across the row, alternating single crochets and popcorn stitches. At the end of the row, chain one and turn.
Step 6: Rows 8-11
Repeat row 2 for the next four rows, alternating colors after each row.
Step 7: Rows 12-13
For the twelfth and thirteenth rows, you will be working in half double crochet stitches. To create a half double crochet, yarn over, insert your hook into the next stitch, and pull up a loop. Yarn over again and pull through all three loops on your hook. Continue working across the row in half double crochet stitches. At the end of the row, chain one and turn.
Step 8: Rows 14-17
Repeat row 2 for the next four rows, alternating colors after each row.
Step 9: Rows 18-19
For the eighteenth and nineteenth rows, you will be working in double crochet stitches. To create a double crochet, yarn over, insert your hook into the next stitch, and pull up a loop. Yarn over again and pull through two loops on your hook, then yarn over once more and pull through the remaining two loops. Continue working across the row in double crochet stitches. At the end of the row, chain one and turn.
