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
