Football Blanket Crochet Pattern, Boy Baby Blanket (Digital pdf instant download), Sports

Crochet Football Blanket Pattern | Digital PDF Crochet Pattern | Baby Blanket | Sports

This blanket pattern is inspired by my boys, who love sports. Mix and match whichever order of motifs you prefer and use team colors to make your own customized endzone look. It's the perfect pattern for your little football fan (or big football fan if you go with the throw size!) With enjoyable, repetitive stitching throughout the "field" portion and cool endzones to create, this pattern is a fun one! The finished blanket is sure to become a treasured, unique heirloom piece.

I have included blanket variations and inspo pictures for different looks, different sizing info for a mini or throw size as well, 3 options to work up footballs/helmets/goal posts in whichever order, 2 ways to follow the motifs (grid and written instructions), and 3 options for the border. I have strived to have clear instructions that have been looked over, edited, and approved by my lovely pattern testers and included a tester page to offer more ideas for color combos and show the work of my talented pattern testers.
This pattern calls for the use of bobbins, so I also included a video tutorial link for each motif to help clarify anything and give more information to make working with bobbins clear and simple. Bobbins are quite easy to incorporate once you see how they work. They also give a nice, clean appearance throughout the motif section.


Materials needed:
4.5mm, 5mm, 5.5mm crochet hook
stitch marker
crochet bobbins
(4) weight yarn
approximately 1555+ yards of yarn total (Have extra available if you have looser tension!)
