Baby Gifters Rejoice!

The “Bubble Stitch” Sophie’s Bubble Stitch Knit Baby Blanket is a charming and textured knit stitch that can be used to create a beautiful and cozy baby blanket. This stitch pattern forms a series of raised, bubble-like clusters that add both visual interest and a soft, tactile feel to the blanket.

Creating a baby blanket with the Bubble Stitch is a wonderful way to showcase your knitting skills while crafting a delightful and functional item for a little one.

Pattern Notes:

The main version of this pattern is worked up by holding two strands of yarn together to increase the gauge. I worked this pattern up for my baby girl and expanded the to toddler size so we could both snuggle under it during late night feeds. A list of Standard Blanket sizes are detailed below. The pattern is easily adjusted for sizing and any yarn (even as single strand) can be used so long as you check your gauge! Try a color phasing yarn to add another (effortless) dimension to the work.

UPDATE November 2024:

I hope that you’re enjoying your current knitting projects. It has been such a pleasure sharing my patterns with you and seeing your creativity bring them to life.

After much thought, I have made the difficult decision to no longer offer my patterns for free. This was not an easy choice—designing and sharing these patterns has always been a passion of mine and a way to connect with this amazing community.

However, the time, effort, and resources required to create, test, and perfect each pattern are significant. To continue bringing you high-quality, unique designs and to support the sustainability of my work, I will now be offering my patterns for purchase on Etsy.

I am incredibly grateful for your support over the years. Your kind words, encouragement, and enthusiasm mean so much to me. I hope you’ll continue to enjoy my patterns and support this new chapter.
