Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in 5 contrasting colors
• Hook: Size I (5.5mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 stitches by 10 rows = 4 inches in slip stitch pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Row: Begin by chaining 100 using your first color yarn. This will form the foundation of your blanket.
2. Row 1: Slip stitch into each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work to begin the next row.
3. Row 2: Switch to your second color yarn. Chain 2 to start the row. Now, you will create a pattern of slip stitches and bobbles.
   • For every 10 stitches, work 1 slip stitch in the first 9 stitches.
   • In the 10th stitch, create a bobble by working 5 double crochets into the same stitch. Pull through to close the bobble.
4. Continuing the Pattern: Repeat the process from Row 1 and Row 2, alternating yarn colors every second row. This will create a beautiful variation in your blanket.
5. Size Completion: Continue crocheting until your blanket reaches your desired size, approximately 50 inches by 70 inches. Feel free to adjust the size based on your preference.
6. Finishing Touch: Once you have reached the desired size, weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle. For an optional touch, you can add a simple border using the last color yarn. To do this, single crochet evenly around the entire blanket, ensuring to place 3 single crochets in each corner stitch for a smooth finish.

Now you have your very own Twisted Bobble Medley Blanket! Enjoy snuggling under it or gifting it to someone special. Happy crocheting!
