Here is my Animal blanket! I love everything about this blanket as it has a mixture of all my favourite animals!

About this pattern:

  • The final size of the blanket is 30” x 40” (if sticking to the gauge)

  • Each animal square is made separately and then attached together at the end with a border

  • Each square measures approximately 10” x 10” (if sticking to the gauge)

  • The pattern is written in US Terminology and consists of, slip stitches, chains, single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet.

  • There are instructions included in the pattern on how to do each stitch, photo tutorials and a video link for support on colour changing.

  • There are two types of instructions, following coloured charts and written row-by-row.

  • Crochet Level - intermediate. I have labelled this pattern as intermediate because there are many colour changes for some of the animals. If you are a beginner, then I would suggest starting with the most simple one, the Starfish.

Materials Needed:

  • 4mm Hook
  • Embroidery needle
  • Scissors
  • Highlighter for marking off rows
  • DK (8ply) yarn - total of approximately 2000yards. I used Stylecraft Special DK in 12 different colours (Black 146yds, White 521 yds, Duck Egg 265 yds, Meadow 152 yds, Dandelion 114 yds, Mocha 91 yds, Soft Peach 236 yds, Silver 133 yds, Lemon 201 yds, Grey 101 yds, Toy 26 yds and Cornish Blue 42 yds).
