This African wild dog granny square is approximately 20 cm x 20 cm (8.15” x 8.15”), and can be used as a component for crocheted items such as a blanket or cushion cover. The square can be used repeatedly, or with others. This is the fifth of my ‘South African animal’ granny squares, so keep your eyes open for more designs coming soon ;-)

It can also be framed framed and hung on a wall, as home décor - ideal in a nursery, or a child’s bedroom.

The pattern (written in US terms) calls for DK yarn in six colours (pale yellow, lime green, cream, black, very dark brown, and camel), and a 4.00 mm crochet hook is used throughout. In total, the approximate yardage is 61 m (67 yds).

The only additional material required is a darning needle, with which to weave in the ends.

NB: Make sure to take a look at my other 16 South African animal granny square patterns (available for $2 each), and also my South African Safari Blanket eBook, which is a bundle containing the patterns for all 17 animals - for the discounted price of only $10!
