Design 

The Ava Blanket Pattern is such a great go to pattern to make and it’s just so warm ans squishy! Using two strands of DK yarn held together to make it thicker you will be able to whip this timeless bobble blanket pattern up in no time. The inspiration behind the Ava Blanket Pattern is that I wanted to design a blanket which was super easy, colorful and a little bit of texture to it and I think the Ava Blanket Pattern has just that. This baby blanket is a 8 row repeat with very simple stitches which are mainly dc so it would be easy enough for beginner crocheters but enjoyable for any crocheter to quickly make up.

Here are some common questions about this pattern to help you along with making this beautiful blanket:

Do I Need To Block My Blanket?

For this crochet pattern you don’t need to block your blanket but it is completely up to you.

What Yarn Did You Use?

For this blanket I used Stylecraft Special DK (with two strands held together at once) which is a lovely acrylic yarn to work with and the colors that it comes in are really modern which makes it perfect for around the home and for babies too. This yarn is really affordable.
