Crochet Bubble Pop Baby Blanket

Crochet Bubble Pop Baby Blanket

This is the Crochet Bubble Pop Baby Blanket that I have finished.  I wanted to experiment with finding a yarn that would blend nicely with the Bernat POP! yarns.  I choose Caron One Pound.  It was only slightly different, but really worked out well.  There are so many color choices that it is a nice yarn to mix with the Pops.

I used the Riddle Stitch to create this bubbly, soft, textured blanket.  I did break up one of the balls by color to create the border of this blanket.  I really had very little yarn left over, so I feel it was worth it.

This bubble blanket could easily be made any size with a multiple of 3 + 2.  And colors... the possibilities are endless!  I think this would make a fun scrap blanket too.
