Chamomile Blanket
As comforting as a cup of tea in our exceptionally soft cotton Serif yarn, our Chamomile Blanket pattern is a joyful nod to classic chenille and hobnail bedspreads. Sprinkled flowers take on a dimensional charm with a super simple no-turn bobble technique you will love!
This blanket is so easy to knit, all knits and purls with sweet little bobbles. You can choose whether to work from written instructions or a chart, and if you’re new to knitting charts, this is a great project to try it out—you’ll learn all the basics, with nothing to trip you up!
With our nifty no-turn bobble method, there’s no need to turn your work (such a pain with a big project like a blanket!) and you’ll look forward to each one. And in plump, squishy Serif, each bobble is as round as a floret of dried chamomile, standing out clearly against the stockinette fabric for a deeply satisfying embossed texture.
Soft as an heirloom, easy to care for, and a joy to knit, Serif’s unique structure—a roving-like single ply of cotton wrapped with a thin cotton thread—creates an undulating strand that knits into an irresistible, slightly knobbly fabric. Its smooth feel and subtle luster are a reminder that Peruvian Pima cotton is one of the highest grades of cotton available. Serif’s gauge spans DK and worsted weight, and we knit the Chamomile Blanket right at the middle of the range, balancing supple drape with dimensionality and substance.
Cast on with classic Heirloom White for a true coverlet callback, or pick from a palette of 15 lovely colors, each with an innate glowing beauty. In any color and any size from Crib to Throw, your Chamomile Blanket will feel both vintage and timeless for generations to come!

NOTES
STITCH MULTIPLE
This pattern works over a multiple of 20 plus 21 stitches.
BOB (NO-TURN BOBBLE)
This nifty bobble is worked without turning your work. To do it, you’ll make 2 new stitches, then work the same 3 stitches repeatedly—knitting them, then slipping them back to the left needle. You’ll finish by decreasing the 3 stitches back down to 1. Here’s how…
Knit into front, back, and front of next stitch*, slip resulting 3 stitches back to left needle, [k3, slip 3 stitches back to left needle] 2 times, k1, knit 2 together (k2tog), pass second stitch on right needle over first and off needle.
*Just like a knit front and back (kfb), but knit into the front one last time before letting the stitch slip off your needle.
PATTERN
Cast on 141 (181, 241) stitches. We used a basic Long Tail Cast On.

Beautiful and easy to knit
Thank you so much for your kind words, Ruth! I’m so glad you’re loving the Chamomile Blanket as much as we do.
Happy knitting!

Thanks for the pattern for this lovely blanket. I would like to knit to large throw size, but I don’t really enjoy knitting seed stitch. If I were to do the borders in garter stitch, would that have any effect on the dimensions? Overall, do you think it would still look as nice? Thanks very much for your help.
Hi Ashlyn,
Thanks so much for reaching out! I am so glad to hear the Chamomile Blanket caught your eye!
I totally understand preferring a border pattern that isn’t seed stitch, and this sounds like a lovely modification! The only thing you might notice when substituting with garter stitch, is that garter stitch tends to have a tighter row gauge (meaning more rows per inch). It’s possible this might tug on the edges of the patterned section (or warp) due to this change in row gauge between seed stitch and garter stitch.
To accommodate for this row gauge difference, you could try swatching (and blocking) it out and swap out your needles for larger needles on the border edge only (you can transfer your stitches back to the same needle with which you’re working the project to get them all on one needle for your next row).
I hope this helps, and please feel free to reach out with any other questions you might have!
Happy knitting,
Hills
Hi, I love this pattern, it is, as you say, a nod to the classic Chenille blankets. I have always wished I still had my childhood Chenille bed-spread so I was excited when I saw this beautiful take on the classic.
I have 7 skeins of Picnic Cotton that have the same yardage as Serif but a smaller recommended size, I know needle size can be ‘other than’ recommended and think 7 skeins of Picnic Cotton would make a smaller(than crib size) throw but do you think it will work and have enough size to use as a lap-throw? If so what needle size would give me the best finished project? The given sizes are 2-4, I have not worked bobbles in this way and needle size vs yarn weight must dictate how they will turn out??
Thank you as always for your help.
Alice
Hi Alice,
Thanks so much for reaching out. I’m so glad to hear you love the Chamomile Blanket as much as we do!
Picnic Cotton‘s stitch gauge was listed at about 7 stitches per inch, while the Serif used in the blanket is worked at a gauge of 5 stitches per inch. You’d expect see about a 20%-30% decrease in size at this tighter gauge. You’d be looking at needing around 1,242 yards to make the small lap throw size (or a little more than 7.5 skeins of Serif).
To find the right needle size, I would recommend knitting (and blocking) a gauge swatch with the different needles listed on the label to see which needle size results in a fabric with a look and feel that seems right to you. (You should be able to work the bobbles at any size).
I hope this helps, but please feel free to reach out with any other questions you might have.
Happy knitting,

Is the border done in the seed stitch? Thanks!
Hi Amy,
Great eye…this border is knit in seed stitch, yes!

Hi! Can I use a Cotton pure on a cone yarn instead of serif?
ps.another fantastic blanket pattern.Tnx!
Hi Marianna,
Thanks so much for writing in with your question. I’m so glad to see you’re considering the Chamomile Blanket as your next project and that you love the pattern as much as we do! Thank you so much for your kind words.
This blanket is knit at a gauge of 5 stitches per inch. Serif knits up to 4.75-5.25 stitches per inch, while Cotton Pure is listed as 5.5-6 stitches per inch. You might consider Sunshower Cotton as an alternative to Serif (listed at 4.75-5 sts/in).
Cotton Pure is just a smidge thinner. It might be possible to achieve gauge… I can’t truly guarantee the results, though. With that in mind, I would always recommend knitting (and blocking) a gauge swatch to ensure you can meet the desired gauge for the project, and that you like the look and feel of the resulting fabric.
I hope this helps, and please feel free to reach out with any other questions you might have!
Happy knitting,
Hills
Thanks a lot for your time and the useful tips! As always to the point.
Greetings from Athens, Greece
So happy to help, Marianna! Best wishes- Hills
Love the design of this blanket, but the written directions for the No Turn Bobble are confusing! Can you please post a video for making the bobble? And put a link in so we can find the video!
Thanks
Hi Claire,
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so glad to hear you love the Chamomile Blanket as much as we do. I’m so sorry to hear that you’re running into trouble with the bobble section, though.
This is a really wonderful suggestion…and by a stroke of good fortune, we are already working on a no-turn bobble tutorial! It’s expected later in the year… in the meantime, I would suggest scheduling a 1-on-1 Help session so we can work through this together and get you back on track for stress-free knitting!
Please feel free to reach back out, and we’ll keep an eye out for your reply or appointment!

Is this tutorial completed yet? Thanks for your help and time!
Hi Tara,
Thanks so much for reaching out! I’m sorry to see that, perhaps, you’re running into trouble with the no-turn bobbles.
Sadly, it looks like the tutorial for the no-turn bobble is pending release this Fall… but I assure you we’re hard at work on it!
In the meantime, we would love to work through this step with you! Please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] for some personalized troubleshooting. We also offer 1-on-1 Help sessions and would be thrilled to get you knitting on with confidence!

Is there a kit?
Hi Deborah,
Thank you so much for reaching out! I’m so glad to see the Chamomile Blanket caught your eye.
We don’t currently offer a kit for this pattern, but I love this idea! I will be sure to pass it along to our team and I’m so grateful you shared your interest in a kit with us.
In the meantime, we recommend 7, 11, or 18 skeins of Serif depending on the size you’re making (Crib (Small Throw, Large Throw), respectively).
I hope this helps, and please feel free to reach out with any other thoughts or questions!
Happy knitting,
Hills
I love this pattern! I just started knitting the crib size using serif in haystack yellow, and after the first row of bobbles, my hand and forearm were hurting a lot. I’m concerned about causing an injury as I continue knitting. Any advice to make knitting the bobs easier on me? I had to go down two needle sizes to get gauge, and I’m using metal needles, though they aren’t exceptionally pointy. Maybe a different brand or type of needles? Thanks in advance!
Hi Meredith,
Thank you so much for reaching out. I’m so sorry to hear you’re experiencing pain while working with Serif.
Cotton yarn can sometimes be hard on the hands for some folks. I would suggest wooden or bamboo needles to reduce hand pain. There is also a book you can search for called “Knitting Comfortably: The Ergonomics of Handknitting” by Carson Demers, which could help you reduce pain, as well! Some surface level tips include knitting with a pillow supporting your project, hand stretches, and taking breaks through knitting other (smaller) projects.
There is also an option for making bobbles with a crochet hook or by knitting backwards (rather than turning the work) that could be easier on your hands. I’d suggest a little search in your favorite search engine to see if any of these alternatives provide some relief!
If you’re still running into trouble, please feel free to send us an email at [email protected]…we would love to help you further!
Best wishes, and we’ll keep an eye out for a reply!

This is a gorgeous pattern! If I was to be extra ambitious and aimed to make it a queen sized bed blanket (roughly 90″ x 90″), am I right in thinking that I would be casting on 441 stitches? How many balls of wool would I need, and would it still fit on a 47″ circular needle?
Hi Brenda,
What a wonderful idea! Ambitious, maybe… fantastic? Absolutely! I’m so happy to help…
If you were to cast on 441 stitches, your blanket would be 88.2 inches wide. If you went for the next available repeat, it would be 96.2 inches… I think you’ve definitely chosen the right stitch count here… fantastic work!
The pattern features a 32-row repeat. With 11 repeats, the original blanket called for around 352 rows over 60.25 inches. This makes each repeat a little under 6 inches. If you repeated it an extra 5 times, you’d get to around 90 inches long.
We used 2,910 yards for a blanket that was 48.25 inches wide and 60.25 inches long. That represents an area of 2,907 square inches. For a blanket 88.2 inches wide and 90 inches long, the area would be 7,938 square inches. To knit this in a queen-sized blanket, 88.2 inches wide by 90 inches long, you would need 7,946 yards. There are 164 yards in a skein, so you would need to pick up 49 skeins.
I hope this is helpful, and we cannot wait to see what you make next! Please feel free to upload a photo of your finished blanket to the Ravelry project page or through the link at the bottom of our homepage.
Happy knitting!
Hills
Thank you so much, Hills! My last question is: will it still fit on a 47″ circular needle? If not, what should I be trying to find?
I hope my ambition holds out..!
Best,
Brenda
Hiya Brenda,
Thanks so much for your reply! I’m so sorry I overlooked providing this information for you.
88 inches of stitches should fit on a 60-inch circular needle. If you find it a bit crunched, or you just prefer to use the Magic Loop Method, you might consider using interchangeable needles and a cable connector to use two 60″ cables at once.
I, too, hope your ambition holds out, because I very much want to see this project!!
Happy knitting!

Hi! Love this pattern. Would love to do it with a wool yarn….any suggestions?
Hi Tziry,
Thank you so much for reaching out! I’m so glad to see you’re considering the Chamomile Blanket for your next project, and I’m excited to help you consider wool options… this sounds like a lovely project!
This could totally work in a wool DK-to-Worsted-weight yarn that reaches 5 stitches per inch (the gauge listed in the pattern). I would suggest checking out Daily Wool Worsted, Vinter Wool, and Hedgerow for a few options! Daily Wool Worsted offers a superwash perk, whereas Vinter Wool is a wonderful non-superwash option. Hedgerow boasts a lovely blend of 93% Merino Wool, 3.5% Cashmere, and 3.5% Mulberry Silk, which would make a very soft blanket! It does feature burrs in the wool for a tweedy effect, and would likely render a more rustic feel to the blanket.
You may need to change needle sizes to achieve the gauge, especially with Hedgerow, so I would also recommend knitting (and blocking) a gauge swatch. This will help ensure you love the fabric you’re knitting, as well!
We can’t wait to see what you make!
Happy knitting,
Hills
Any idea when Heirloom White (Serif) might be available again.
Have a grandbaby due in late October , so really need to get started.
Hi Nancy,
Congratulations on the upcoming arrival of your grandkid!
It looks like Serif in Heirloom White should be restocked around the end of June/beginning of July. I hope that will give you enough time for this project!
Please feel free to email us at [email protected] with any follow-up questions!

Is there a yarn that comes on a cone that would work for this pattern?
Please advise.
Hi Nancy,
Thanks so much for reaching out with this question! I’m happy to help you consider yarn substitutions.
It looks like Knitting Yarn DK On A Cone should knit up to the 5-stitch-per-inch gauge listed for the Chamomile Blanket.
I would always suggest knitting and blocking a gauge swatch to give yourself the chance to change needles if necessary to reach the gauge listed. It will also help you see if you like the fabric you’re making with this yarn.
I hope this is helpful! Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any follow-up questions.
Happy knitting,

My daughter wants to make sure that the yarn is soft. Is serif softer than the yarn on a cone ?
Hi Nancy,
Thanks so much for reaching back out! I would say Serif is a bit softer than Knitting Yarn DK On A Cone.
We’re very excited for this next Serif restock at the end of this month or early next month. We’re sorry for the delay, and anxious to see it back too. If this isn’t too late for you, we’d recommend signing up to be notified when it returns by going to the Serif page, selecting Heirloom White, and entering your email address. This way, you’ll be among the first to know when it’s available on the site again!
Please let us know if you have any other questions!

My daughter likes the serif alabaster cream . I’ve added my email address to be notified when it’s available, but wanted to touch base with you to get a heads up on when it may be back in stock.
Is there another soft yarn that has some texture that you could recommend instead if we decide not to wait for the serif?
Hi Nancy,
Some of our softest yarns that reach 5 stitches per inch would be: Cashmere Merino Bloom, Morning, and Note. I wouldn’t describe any of these yarns as particularly textured, though the first 2 boast a lovely halo.
Sadly, I don’t see many options in terms of textured yarns that reach this gauge, but these are some really lovely and soft options!
I’d always suggest knitting and blocking a gauge swatch, particularly when substituting yarns. It would give you the chance to see if you need to change your needle size to meet the pattern’s listed gauge and to get an idea of whether you like the look and feel of the finished fabric.
I hope this helps and you find the perfect yarn for your daughter’s blanket!
Happy knitting,
Hills
We are going to wait for the alabaster cream to be back in stock. Hopefully i can get the sale price at that time.
Thank you
I see that cotton pure yarn is available in alabaster cream. I realize it is a sport weight yarn, but I wondered whether it would work for the chamomile blanket. Perhaps you could guide me on what modifications I would have to make. I’m ready to get started on the blanket and the seeif is out out of stock in that color.thoughts ??
Hi Nancy,
Thanks so much for your reply. There are a few factors that would go into substituting the Serif for Cotton Pure, and I’m happy to walk through this with you!
If you’d like to know how much sport-weight yarn you need before you start your project, first find the weight in grams (yarn is usually measured in grams!) of the Cotton Pure on a Cone…it looks like the cone has 1000g.
Then, you’d want to knit and block a gauge swatch. This will give you the gauge that you’re knitting at most comfortably, on which needles, and if you like the look of the fabric.
You will also need the area of your swatch and the desired area of the blanket. If you use the area of the desired blanket and divide that by the area of your swatch, you can imagine how many swatches it might take to make up that blanket’s area. This ratio will tell you how many times bigger the project is than the swatch. You can multiply this ratio by the weight of the swatch to get the total grams of Cotton Pure needed for the swatch. If it is 1/10 the size, you would multiply by 10. If you divide this by the number of yarns in a skein or cone, you’ll be able to see how many skeins or cones you would need.
This pattern is worked over a multiple of 20 plus 21 stitches. Hypothetically, let’s imagine you are knitting at 6 stitches per inch, and you’re aiming for the large throw at 48.25 x 60.25 square inches. The resulting area of this blanket is (rounded up to) 2,908 square inches. To reach the width of 48.25 inches at 6 stitches per inch, you would need to cast on around 289/290 (48.25 x 6) stitches. To fit the stitch multiple, you could cast on 281 stitches or 301 stitches to get the closest measurement to the original large throw size.
You shouldn’t need to make many modifications aside from the cast-on number and estimating your yardage…
I hope this is helpful! Please reach back out with any follow-up questions!
Happy knitting,
Hills
Thanks for your explanation.
I’m planning on making the small throw and have ordered 1 cone. I’m hoping that will be enough of the cotton pure. Thoughts?
Hi Nancy,
Thanks for your reply!
Unfortunately, I can’t give you an exact yardage estimate without the information from your swatch. You’re welcome to write back once you’ve swatched, and I would be happy to solve this for you as accurately as possible!
In the meantime, if we return to the hypothetical we worked with previously… If you were to knit at 6 stitches per inch rather than 5 stitches per inch, you might see about a 20% larger blanket. A rough estimate can be found by multiplying this ratio by the original yardage (5/6 x 1,750 yards = 2,100 yards). There are 2,789 yards in a cone of Cotton Pure. You’ll likely have enough yarn, but I can’t truly guarantee that without the aforementioned information.
I hope this is still helpful for you!
Happy knitting,
Hills
I received the cotton pure cone. Thinking i may prefer the serif afterall. I should get an email to learn when the alabaster cream is going to be back in stock but wanted to reach out to see if yall had any more specific info on when it may be available.
Thx.
Hi Nancy,
Thank you so much for your reply. I’m really sorry to hear that Cotton Pure On A Cone didn’t work well for you. Please feel free to email us at [email protected] for further troubleshooting on that front.
In the meantime, it looks like we’re due to receive a shipment of Serif in Alabaster Cream in the first or second week of July.
We’ll keep an eye out for an email from you!

Hi! Noting row 4 is missing on the pattern. Am I reading incorrectly?
Hi Emma,
Thank you so much for reaching out with your great question! It can be a little tricky to parse the instructions sometimes, and I’m happy to help clarify this step for you!
In Row 2, you’ll find an instruction indicating that all wrong-side rows should be worked as Row 2…
For Rows 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, etc., you will be working Row 2.
I hope this is helpful! Please reach back out anytime.

I have 613g of the merino wool on a cone ( I think that should be about 1330 yards?) left from another project. Do you think that would be enough to complete the smaller size?
Hi Mimi,
Thanks for reaching out! We love the idea of using that extra Knitting Yarn DK for this project.
Your yardage estimation is pretty spot on, though I do want to mention that the cardboard cone itself weighs about 40g. Was that weight factored in when you weighed your remaining yarn? If not, you’ll just want to subtract 40g from the total. Either way, it sounds like you do have enough yarn to complete the Crib size of this blanket (which calls for 1025yds total). I recommend swatching first to ensure you meet the pattern gauge with this alternative yarn, as well.
I hope this helps, but please let me know if you have any other questions!
Happy knitting,
Sam
Thank you I will try it. If I decided to make it a bit smaller to be on the safe side, how would I make the adjustments?
Hello Mimi,
The stitch pattern multiple is for 20 + 21 stitches. If you’re able to reach the gauge listed in the pattern, you would want to remove cast-on stitches by 20 at a time. This should decrease the width by about 4 inches per 20 stitches removed.
The pattern features a 32-row repeat. With 11 repeats, the original blanket called for around 352 rows over 60.25 inches. This makes each repeat a little under 6 inches. Each time you remove 32 rows, you’ll be decreasing the length by about 6 inches.
I hope this is a helpful launch point for you and that you love working on the Chamomile Blanket as much as we did.
Happy knitting,
Hills
