Dominic Donkey Bobble Blanket — Crochet Pattern (PDF)

Say hello to Dominic — a gentle, big-eared donkey with bags of character. This bobble-stitch blanket builds Dominic's portrait from raised bobbles set against a smooth background, so a handful of simple stitches gives you a picture blanket that looks wonderfully intricate.

You'll work in straightforward rows of chain, double crochet and the bobble stitch. Every row is written out with its exact stitch count, and a full colour graph lets you follow the design at a glance — no fiddly colour changes, as the whole picture is made by the bobbles alone.

Dominic is a lovely make for all ages: a new-baby gift, a christening or baby-shower keepsake, a child's bedroom throw, or a cosy lap blanket for a donkey- or farm-animal fan of any age. At around 29 × 31 inches it's an ideal pram, cot or cuddle blanket, and it's simple to size up with heavier yarn and a larger hook.

What's included:

• Instant-download PDF pattern — yours to keep and make again
• Both UK and US crochet terms
• Written row-by-row instructions with full stitch counts
• Complete colour graph / chart of the design
• Two border options: treble crochet border and rib border
• Clear step-by-step photos for the bobble stitch and borders

You'll need: DK (double knit) yarn — approx 4 × 100g (1200m) for one blanket — plus a 4.0mm (G) hook for the body and a 3.0mm (D) hook for the border. Finished size approx 29 × 31 in / 74 × 79 cm (yours will vary with yarn and tension).

Please note: this is a digital pattern — no physical item is shipped. You're welcome to sell the finished blankets you make, but the pattern itself may not be shared, copied or resold. © Time to Love Crochet.
