Wrap up in this super cozy lap throw blanket with a textured pattern for a subtle flair. This blanket features alternating squares of flat and textured crochet worked first with a flat border worked around once the body is finished.

This pattern, written in US crochet terms, uses single and half double crochet stitches along with a bobble stitch. Links to video tutorials for the bobble stitch are included. This project is great both for those who have never done a bobble stitch (because there will be lots of practice), or those who are already comfortable with the stitch.

I have made versions of this blanket in Lion Brand Heartland Tweed (black) and regular Heartland (red).
