Crocheting the Popcorn Heart Blanket is like stitching love into each loop, making it perfect for special gifts or cozy home items. Designed by Kari Philpott, the Heart Bobble Square pattern can be used in multiple projects. Whether used to make a lovely baby blanket, a full-size throw, or a decorative pillowcase, it will produce charming effects!
What Yarn Works Best for Bobble and Popcorn Stitches?
For this bobble stitch blanket pattern, worsted weight yarn is your go-to. It’s perfect for giving your bobbles the right balance of structure and softness.
Use a sturdy acrylic yarn in your favorite colors (it keeps the texture sharp and the blanket easy to care for). If you want a super-soft feel for a baby or lap blanket, try a cotton-acrylic mix.
How Do You Follow the Thin Heart Bobble Chart?
The Thin Heart Bobble Chart is an easy-to-follow guide for making a cute heart motif. Each box shows one stitch: white boxes mean single crochet, and colored boxes mean bobble stitches. If you’re right-handed, begin in the bottom right corner (start in the bottom left if you’re left-handed).
Can Beginners Try the Popcorn Heart Blanket?
Although this popcorn heart blanket crochet pattern includes bobble stitches, they are simpler than they seem. The repeating design lets beginners feel more confident with each stitch.
Mixing basic stitches with bobbles offers the right mix of challenge and simplicity. Plus, the charted design helps guide your work, making it suitable even if you are just starting to read crochet charts.
What’s the Best Border for This Heart Crochet Blanket?
A fantastic border can make your Popcorn Heart Blanket look even more stunning. Sinem Torun’s version, shown in the photo above, has a scalloped edge that matches the playful heart textures and adds a soft, romantic touch. Other good choices could be a picot edge or a single crochet border for cleaner lines.
