When I saw this Blackberry Salad blanket I fell in love! The lusting side of me wanted to immediately make this lovely nubby blanket. The rationale side of me knew I may lose lose my mind if I attempted said lusty blanket. When the sampler won the CAL I was a little sad I wasn't going to be forced into that nubby love of mine. After deciding to add a few extra squares to the CAL I knew I'd add a nubby square! Perfect solution right?!?!
I have to confess. I briefly looked at the pattern and thought no biggie and never referenced it again! Well I just went to link to it and realized I did it wrong! I used a popcorn stitch, she used bobbles. Not a big deal but I thought I should let you know! Bobbles are faster which is probably why I would choose popcorns. Apparently I love to torture myself!
I do love this square. I rub it all the time. It feels lovely.
In fact I love it so much I may torture myself and make a blanket full of the nubby goodness. Want to make a square for your CAL? Here's how I did it. Remember all of our squares are different sizes it seems! I am making mine 12X12 so adjust accordingly! A & B in the pattern refer to color changes. Carry your color up the side for color change
Popcorn Square
A) Row 1: chain 37
A)Row 2: skip 2 chain closest to hook, dc in each chain, ch 1, turn {34 dc}
A) Row 3: sc in next 2, (popcorn in next space, sc in next 3) row will end with sc in last 2, ch 3 turn {8 popcorn}
B) Row 4: (dc), ch 3, turn {34 dc}
B) Row 5: (ch 3 counts as first dc in pop), popcorn in first space, (sc in next 3, popcorn) ch 3, turn {9 popcorn}
A) Row 6: (dc) ch 1, turn {34 dc}
A) Row 7: repeat Row 3
B) Row 8: repeat Row 4
B) Row 9: repeat Row 5
A) Row 10: repeat Row 6
continue until you reach your desired size. Finish off with a row of dc.

I LOVE this one!!! I know I haven't been at all vocal but I have been crocheting. I am almost finished my 4th square. I am finding that some of the patterns of the squares are lots of fun and I love the way they turn out, but realize that I would get bored doing an entire blanket that way.

Can we use the bobble stitch instead of a popcorn stitch? :-)
Absolutely love this pattern!
