The Blackberry Salad Striped Baby Blanket pattern was originally written up for a baby sized blanket, but of course, it can work for everything from a dishcloth to a king sized bedspread! This past week I worked up one in a size that’s great for a throw, wrap, or lap-ghan. Or maybe an accent/decorator blanket. Whatever you call it, it all worked out. Here are the specs:
- Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn, 8 skeins (2840 yards)
- I /9 – 5.50 mm Hook
- Finished size: 50″ x 46″
- Add this pattern to your Ravelry Queue
- Blackberry Stitch Pattern Chart (hand drawn)
- Video Tutorial: How to make the Bobble Stitch, or dc5tog
Starting chain: 167
Row 1: (RS) Dc in 4th ch from hook. (Starting chain of each row counts as first dc.) Dc in each st across to end. Ch1, turn. (165 dc)
Row 2: (WS) Sc into the first 4 sts, *dc5tog into the next st, sc in the next 3 sts.* Repeat from * to * until the end of the row, ending the row with 1sc in the top of the turning chain.
Row 3: (RS) Change to second stripe color. Ch 3, turn. Dc across row to the end, skipping the turning ch. Ch1, turn.
Row 4: (WS) Sc into the first 2 sts, *dc5tog into next st, sc in the next 3 sts.* Repeat from * to * until the last 3 sts. End the row with one more dc5tog and sc in the last 2 sts (final st in the top of the turning chain).
Row 5: (RS) Change color to 3rd stripe skein. Work as for Row 3.
Row 6 to end: Repeat Rows 2 through 5, changing colors on the odd numbered rows, until you feel the blanket is roughly square or you run out of yarn!
And here are the pics!
On an Ikea loveseat - very cozy!
Striiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiipes!
Ready for mailing!
I wish I could’ve gotten better pics, but I finished it up late at night and wanted to get it mailed out the next morning. But it should give you an idea of how to make this blanket your own! The 50″ width is very generous, and just by adding on to the length you’d get a great twin size blanket. Have fun and happy hooking!

Hi! Thank’s for publishing this, I love it!!! I’m doing it but I’m stuck in Row 3!! in this part: Dc across row to the end (ok) – skipping the turning ch. Ch1, turn.???? and then R4???
When I turn the bubble stitch is on my side “looking at me”and I can’t continue crocheting, because I have the chain on my right side! Not from left to right.
Please HELP ME!!! How can I go from R3 to R4???? and so on? It would be great if you post a video about it!
Thank’s a lot!!! I love your blog!!!!!
Hi Penny! Thanks for reading!
I’m a little confused about where you are stuck. When you are dc-ing across the blanket for row 3, the bobbles should be pointing towards you. At the end of the row, you ch1, then flip the blanket over (aka turn) to work row 4, turning the bobbles away from you. You should then be ready to work from right to left again.
Can you read crochet charts? There’s a link up there to a chart I made that demonstrates how the blanket comes together. I’ve also made a video that demonstrates how to make the bobble, but I’m afraid I haven’t made one demonstrating the entire blanket. I hope this helps!
Hi! Thanks a lot! I was totally wrong!!!! jajaja My mistake!
I don’t know how I ended with the bubbles in the first row!?. That’s why it was son wrong.
I corrected it, and is fine now. It’s good to know you can help me anytime. Thanks! When I finish my project I’ll send you a pic.
Bye!!!!
