Gerard Goat Bobble Blanket — Crochet Pattern (PDF)

Meet Gerard — a cheeky little goat who'll bring a smile to any room. This bobble-stitch blanket pattern uses simple raised "bobbles" against a flat background to build up Gerard's picture as you go, so a beginner-friendly stitch set gives you a result that looks far more advanced than it is.

Worked in easy rows of chain, double crochet and the bobble stitch, the pattern is written out row by row with the exact stitch counts for every line, and it comes with a full colour graph so you can see the picture take shape. There's no complicated colour-changing — the design is created entirely by the bobbles.

Whatever the occasion, Gerard makes a memorable handmade gift: a new-baby or baby-shower present, a nursery or kids'-room throw, a farmhouse-style lap blanket, or a keepsake for the goat-lover in your life. At roughly 29 × 31 inches it's a generous pram, cot or snuggle size, and it's easily scaled up or down by adjusting your yarn and 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
