Introducing the Bobble Bouquet Blanket Strip

With this blanket strip, you are going to use a few different stitches to create flowers with stems. It’s going to give you a chance to learn some back post stitches and bobble stitches. You will use both back post double crochet (BPdc) and back post treble crochet (BPtc) stitches for the stems. The flower petals are made using bobble stitches.

Back post double crochet stitches will be crocheted into a single crochet stitch, so be sure to check out the tutorials as it can be a little tricky to spot where to put your hook if you haven’t done it before. Next, the back post treble crochet stitches will be made two rows below, into the previous post stitch. It really gives the flower stem their pop! For the flower petals, the bobbles are made using five double crochet stitches in a cluster.

In between the fancy stitches, you will zip right along with regular single and double crochet stitches, so this section works up fairly quickly. Another thing to note is that all of the post and bobble stitches are made while working the on the wrong side of the blanket. So you’ll have to wait until you turn your work to see their true beauty shine!
