Materials Needed
Before we dive into the instructions, let's gather all the necessary materials for this project. You will need the following:
- Premier Yarn Sir Basic Collection (budget yarn)
- 6mm crochet hook
- Light gray, medium gray, dark gray, white, black, linen, brown, and fern green yarn colors
Step-by-Step Instructions
Making a slip knot
To begin, create a slip knot with your chosen yarn.
Chain stitching
Using the slip knot, chain stitch 16 stitches, plus one for the turning chain, for a total of 17 stitches.
Single crochet
Turn your work and single crochet into the back bump of the second chain stitch. Continue single crocheting into each stitch until the end of the row, resulting in 16 single crochets.
Bobble stitch
For the first bobble row, chain three and then do four incomplete double crochets into the same stitch as the chain. Yarn over and pull through all five loops, then follow up with a single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat this process for each bobble, making sure to yarn over and pull through all six loops for the subsequent bobbles.
Changing colors
When it's time to change colors, do so in the single crochet stitch. Pull the working yarn forward, bring in the new color, and complete the single crochet with the new color. Ensure the color change is snug but not too tight.
Adding borders
After completing your block, it's time to add a border to make sewing the blocks together easier. Start by single crocheting into each stitch across the top and bottom. In the corners, single crochet, chain two, and single crochet into the same space. Along the sides, skip the bobble stitch, but work into the single crochet and chain two spaces. For the second round of the border, double crochet into each stitch, putting five double crochets in the corners.
Tips and Tricks
- Carry the yarn color with you if you have one or two blocks of the same color adjacent to each other.
- Make sure to only work into the top two loops of the bobble stitch to maintain the desired look.
- Use the bobble stitch to create a pop-out effect in the blanket, resembling the pixel art from the Minecraft game.
