Crochet baby blanket/ tapestry for a Chickadee

This pattern comes with both a graph and written instructions.
It is 100 stitches wide by 80 rows tall

I recommend a medium weight (worsted weight) yarn with a J sized hook.

It is all single stitch crochet. In order to make this blanket you will need to know how to carry yarn (there are great Youtube videos that can teach you how to do the Tapestry Crochet Technique.

You will need 3 skeins of blue, or background color (A), 2 skeins of black (B), 2 skeins of gray (C) and 1 skein of white (D) to complete this project. (assuming a medium weight yarn with about 350 yards per skein).

I recommend carrying the first 3 colors (A,B&C) through the entire pattern to keep it even. You can also carry D (white) through the entire pattern, but I only carried it in the areas it was needed. This is how I like to do it but other ways will work as well so if you’d prefer to carry more or less colors than feel free to do so

Once you have purchased this pattern a text document that like this (below) will automatically download to you. If you have any trouble receiving it message me and I will have it e-mailed to you in no time. This pattern also comes with a Graph!

1.) A-150
2.) A-30, B-20, A-10, B-50
3….

The #’s are for each row
The letters are for different colors. (A = Blue (or background color), B = Black, C = Gray, D = White)
(so the above pattern would have the first row be 150 stitches of color A. 2nd row would have 30 stitches of color A followed by 20 stitches of color B followed by 10 stitches of color A and so on….)

I make custom patterns as well. If you are interested in a pattern that does not exist message me and we can talk about having one custom designed for you.
