Hamish Highland Cow Bobble Blanket — Crochet Pattern (PDF)

Meet Hamish, the shaggiest resident of the Highlands and the newest friend to join the Time to Love Crochet farm. With his sweeping horns, tousled fringe tumbling over his eyes and a cheeky soft nose, Hamish brings a wee bit of Scottish charm to any nursery, cot or sofa.

Hamish is worked entirely in raised bobble stitches over a flat background, so his picture comes to life through texture rather than colour. There are no colour changes and no bobbins, just one yarn from start to finish. Framed by a dotted bobble border, he's cosy, tactile and perfect for little hands to explore.

The pattern uses our easy counting sequence: each picture row is written as simple numbers and dots, so you always know exactly how many stitches to work before the next bobble. Every row finishes on 99 stitches, with stitch and bobble totals given for every row so you can check your count as you go. Finish Hamish with your choice of a classic treble crochet border or a textured rib border, both shown with step-by-step photos.
