I’ve been on a blanket kick. Crocheting one for my condo during a long Toronto stay-at-home pandemic, and two for upcoming Grassel babies. My cousin and sister-in-law are due with girls and the blankets became the perfect projects.
I recently came across Daisy Farm Crafts. (And apparently I’m late to the party.) Sharing a few pics with my crochet friends let me know they’d been making Tiffany’s patterns for years. Years!
One browse of her website and you’ll see why.
Colorful, unique, clean, endless options. What’s there not to love?
I made three blankets from two patterns.
Pattern Details:
- A large black & white bobble afghan (54 x 65 inches)
- Two baby blankets-one pink, one gray- of triangles (32 x 36 and 34 x 40 inches)
The black and white afghan I made extra large (54 x 65 inches). I like to think I crochet fast, but even with some speed, I calculated that each “stripe section” – the couple white rows + one black row of each section – took me about an hour to complete.
There are 16 stripes total so probably close to 16-18 hours of solid crocheting. Hey, it was a good activity during the pandemic!
To modify Daisy Craft Farm’s colorful bobble blanket, I did 7 rows of white followed by a row of black bobbles row row 8. For row 8 of all balck, I didn’t change the yarn since I wanted the black to be solid throughout – less ends to weave vs. the original, too! Just do 7 rows of white, followed by a row of black bobbles and you’ll get this black and white striped pattern.
The baby blankets are close in size, but a hook change and different yarn caused the gray one to be slightly bigger. The pink/white one measures 32 x 36, while the gray/white one is 34 x 40 inches.
But how cute are those triangles?
They’re actually worked by carrying the white yarn throughout the rows. Less ends to weave in at the end, but sometimes it felt silly to carry white yarn across 9 gray stitches, just hoping it wouldn’t show through.
The white yarn does peak out every so often, but it’s barely noticeable (and I’m hoping the kids won’t notice).
Have you explored Daisy Farm Crafts’ library of gorgeous blankets? What have you made?

June 3, 2022I’d love the black and white bobble pattern. I looked at Daisy Farm and can’t find it. Am I missing it?

August 14, 2023Hi Jayna.
Firstly I love your name! You have the same name (same spelling too) as one of my daughters.
I have a question about your bobble throw. As it’s slightly different from the one by daisy farms in that the rows where you have the black bobbles you have done obvious stitch rows and not hidden or carried your yarn under the white yarn. Can you please explain what/how you did this? Thanks

October 5, 2023Did you use the Bernarda Softee Baby yarn for the black and white blanket? It turned out beautifully!

January 27, 2025Hi Kree – I used the pattern linked above from Daisy Farm Crafts: https://daisyfarmcrafts.com/crochet-colorful-polka-dots-baby-blanket/. Hers is for a more colorful baby blanket, but I replaced the colorful bobbles with solid rows of black bobbles instead. Less ends to weave in! I did 7 rows of white yarn, then a bobble row with black yarn, repeated until the blanket was the size I wanted. Hope that helps!

January 27, 2025I used just normal worsted weight yarn for the black and white one. Wanted it to be chunkier and thick for a blanket for our couch.

January 27, 2025Hi Manisha – you’ve got great taste in names. 🙂
For the black and white blanket, I did 7 rows of white followed by a row of black bobbles for row 8. Rather than change the yarn between the bobbles and change the colors, I used black for the entirety of Row 8. Hope that helps!
