About This Golden Snitch Blanket Pattern

This pattern creates a textured snitch-themed throw worked in single crochet with bobble motifs to form each Snitch. You will work color changes to build the motif across repeated rows and finish with a reverse single crochet border for a neat edge. The pattern includes a chart for the Snitch placement and optional pom-poms for each corner.

Why You'll Love This Golden Snitch Blanket Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines simple crochet basics with playful textured details that really pop. The bobble Snitches add a delightful three-dimensional element that looks impressive without complicated techniques. I enjoy how the repeated row patterns make it easy to memorize and relax into the work while still seeing steady progress. The optional pom-poms give a fun finishing touch that makes the blanket feel handmade and special.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this blanket by changing the palette — try soft pastels for a nursery or bold contrasting colors for a dramatic look.

I often switch to a bulky yarn and a larger hook to make a chunkier, quicker-to-finish version ideal for chilly evenings.

You can alter the size by changing the starting chain in multiples that fit the motif repeat and working more or fewer motif repeats in height.

I sometimes replace the bobble with a small embroidered center for a flatter motif if I want a different texture.

Try skipping the pom-poms and adding tassels instead for a different decorative edge; tassels can be attached every few inches along the short sides for interest.

If you want a reversible look, use duplicate stitch to add the Snitch motifs after completing a solid blanket, which avoids carrying yarn across rows.

I like to experiment with metallic or sparkly yarn for the Snitch center to give a subtle shine — just use small amounts mixed into the bobble yarn.

For a gift-ready finish, block the blanket lightly to even stitches and press the reverse single crochet border so it lies flat and neat.

Consider making a matching pillow or baby hat using the same Snitch motif scale to create a coordinated set that complements the blanket.

If you enjoy crocheting sets, try varying the spacing between motifs for a different layout — more open spacing yields a minimalist effect while tighter spacing creates a denser pattern.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Changing colors mid-stitch incorrectly can leave loose loops and messy edges; always complete the last yarn over with the new color and draw through the final loops to secure the color change. ✗ Carrying yarn across many stitches without planning causes bulges and visible strands; use small balls for color sections and carry yarn by crocheting over the strand, dropping it on the wrong side when appropriate. ✗ Skipping stitch counts after a repeat row will shift motifs and row placement; count your stitches at the end of each motif row, especially after rows with multiple color changes and bobbles. ✗ Rushing the bobble stitch can create irregular bobbles and inconsistent texture; follow the bobble instruction exactly, pulling up loops and finishing by drawing through all loops, then change color as instructed. ✗ Not fastening pom-poms securely can result in them falling off corners; sew pom-poms through their center and knot the yarn securely on the wrong side before weaving in ends.

Info :

Gauge: 14 sts and 20 rows = 4 in. / 10 cm in single crochet. Gauge is not critical for this pattern, but the yarn weight and hook size used will affect the finished measurements.

Infos :

Chains do not count as a stitch throughout pattern. 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. 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.

Assembly Instructions

  • Weave in all ends securely, burying tails along the wrong side so carried yarn and color changes are hidden.
  • With C and a pom-pom maker, create 4 pom-poms and sew one to each corner of the blanket, securing through the center and knotting on the wrong side.
  • Work the reverse single crochet border (Row 157) evenly around the perimeter, placing 1 st into each corner and spacing stitches along sides to avoid puckering.
  • When carrying the gray (Color A) yarn, crochet over the strand on the right side and drop the carried yarn in front on the wrong side; crochet over it on the next right-side row to secure.
  • Fasten off and weave in any remaining tails; check bobble stitches and reinforce any loose bobbles by sewing through their center from the wrong side.

Important Notes

  • 💡Chains do not count as a stitch throughout the pattern, so begin each row counting the correct number of single crochet stitches.
  • 💡Gauge is not critical for this pattern, but changing yarn or hook size will alter the finished dimensions of the blanket.
  • 💡Use small separate balls of yarn for the white and gold portions of each Snitch to minimize long carried strands and improve the finished look.
