One thing about me is I'm a blanket maker. I love a mindless project that I can work on for hours. When Ollie's bought out lots of Bernat Blanket Yarn from JoAnn's (RIP), I snatched up some skeins and waited for inspiration.

Cue the holiday season. I love seasonal blankets, but I feel a little guilty spending a lot of time crocheting a blanket I can only use two months a year. Using blanket yarn for this idea saved me so much time (enough time to hopefully make those homemade gifts for everyone I know).

How to Bobble Stitch (dc5tog)

To bobble stitch, we create 5 incomplete double crochets and then YO and pull through all loops on the hook.

YO and insert hook into next st, YO and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook).

YO and pull through 2 loops (2 loops on hook). This is one incomplete double crochet.

Repeat step 1-2 four more times, inserting into the same stitch (6 loops on hook).

YO and pull through all 6 loops.

Additional Notes:

The blanket is crocheted in repeating rows of single crochet. Bobble stitches are added in some rows to make the Christmas tree motif. Bobble stitches (dc5tog) are always crocheted with the wrong side facing you.
Every odd numbered row is crocheted with the Right Side (RS) facing you, and every even numbered row has the Wrong Side (WS) facing you.
This blanket is worked from the bottom up.
A chart is provided before the written pattern where bobble stitches are marked in black and every row with a bobble stitch is highlighted in green.
“sc X” means place 1 single crochet into each of the next X number of stitches.
The stitch count is always 79 sts.
Ch1 and turn after every row.

To finish my blanket, I crocheted a simple half-double crochet border, adding three stitches at each corner so it lies flat.
