About This Golden Snitch Blanket Pattern

This pattern creates a rectangular blanket worked mostly in single crochet with small bobble motifs representing Golden Snitches. It uses three colors and a charted motif to place snitches evenly across the blanket. The blanket is finished with a reverse single crochet border and optional pom-poms at each corner.

Perfect for gifting or adding a whimsical touch to a nursery or reading nook. The stitch pattern is repetitive and relaxing, ideal for practicing color changes and bobble stitches.

Why You'll Love This Golden Snitch Blanket Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines simple single crochet rows with charming bobble motifs that create a playful overall design. I enjoy how the repeating motifs build up across the blanket, making progress feel steady and rewarding. The optional pom-pom corners add a fun finishing touch that really personalizes the piece. I also appreciate that the pattern uses minimal special stitches, so the focus is on colorwork and texture rather than complex shaping.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to make this blanket your own by changing colors; swap the gray, ivory, and gold for any palette you prefer.

You can make a mini version for a stroller or a giant throw by using a thicker yarn and larger hook—just check your gauge and adjust chains.

I often switch the border style for variety; try a simple crab stitch or a wider reverse sc border for a chunkier edge.

If you prefer no pom-poms, consider tassels or crocheted corner motifs instead for a different finish.

Try alternating placement of the bobble motifs to create staggered rows or diagonal repeats for a modern look.

I sometimes embroider tiny details over the bobble centers for added texture and personality.

For a sleeker, flatter look, skip the bobbles and use color changes only to suggest the motif shapes.

Use variegated yarn for Color A to add subtle shading across the whole blanket without extra work on color changes.

Want a reversible look? Work the motifs using duplicate stitch on the finished fabric instead of carrying floats during crochet.

I recommend experimenting with different pom-pom sizes and colors; a contrasting pom-pom can be a bold finishing touch.

Mix yarn fibers for different drape—swap a portion of the acrylic for a wool blend to make the blanket warmer and cozier.

Consider duplicating this pattern in stripes between motif sections to add visual breaks and make the project more dynamic.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not counting the starting chains correctly can change the blanket width; carefully count ch 130 at the start and recount if unsure. ✗ Carrying yarn without planning color changes results in messy floats; use small bobbins or short yarn lengths and crochet over strands as instructed to hide carried yarn. ✗ Working bobbles too tightly creates puckering in motifs; work bobbles with a relaxed tension and gently shape them when completed. ✗ Skipping the reverse single crochet border can make edges look unfinished; work Row 157 exactly as written for a neat, framed edge.

— Notes & Gauge :

Info :

14 sts and 20 rows = 4 in. / 10 cm in single crochet.

Info :

Gauge is not critical for this pattern, but the yarn weight and hook size used will affect the finished measurements

Info :

Chains do not count as a stitch throughout pattern.

Infos :

To change colors during a sc, complete the last yarn over of the stitch in the new color, and use the new color to draw through last 2 loops of the st. To change colors during a bobble, ch 1 in new color after drawing through 6 loops and completing the bobble.

Info :

To minimize carrying yarn throughout the pattern, use small balls of yarn for the white and gold portions of each Snitch. While crocheting the Snitch, carry the gray yarn by crocheting over the strand, and pick up the strand when you switch back to gray. To improve the appearance of carried yarn, crochet over the yarn on the right side (the side with the bobbles sticking out) and drop carried yarn in front of your work on the wrong side. Then, when working the next row on the right side, crochet over the dropped yarn.
