Bobbel cakes and gradient yarns make life easy for us. Here, the color gradients come straight from the ball of yarn. We don’t have to change balls or weave in any yarn ends.
Set of Round Seating Furniture for Dolls with All the Trimmings
This is a set that is really great fun—first to crochet, then to play with. You can crochet the furniture with solid-colored yarns or, even more beautifully, with gradient yarns. Here I combined both versions with each other. You can crochet the round couch or an armchair or stool and/or a table. There are also various pillows, blankets, a rug, and matching magazines for the little dolls—truly an all-the-trimmings package.
Endless Blanket
For this blanket, which you can crochet as large as you like, I used 1 Bobbel cake with 1500 meters of merino wool. If I had wanted the blanket to be larger, I would have used a second Bobbel cake. My blanket with the distinctive textured pattern measures 70 x 70 cm. The Bobbel cake has only a few colors, which gives it a calmer look. The colors blend more softly into one another.
Baby Sleep Sack, Swaddle Sack for Babies
When you knit this lovely, warm, and practical baby sleep sack, you can knit it in a solid color or with a gradient yarn. The entrelac pattern is shown off especially well by the color-changing merino wool yarn. The cuff is folded over so it lies double. This gives especially good protection to a baby’s sensitive tummy and kidney area. Little legs can kick around freely inside the sack. You can make it in 2 sizes.
