Stretch out your blanket collection with the Dachshund Blanket! This fun striped throw will not only add cozy vibes to any living space, but also a cute (and long) wiener dog design. This one-of-a-kind kit is perfect for beginners looking to learn colorwork, or more experienced crocheters looking for a simple afghan with a twist. Step-by-step photos and detailed instructions are included.

There is a free YouTube tutorial available on my channel, Savannah’s Stitches. There is also a kit available with Lion Brand.

This pattern is best suited for advanced beginners. The pattern produces a blanket that is 34.5” (88cm) wide and 48” (122cm) tall. It is worked row-by-row with color changes to create the stripes and weiner/sausage dog.

The pattern is written in English using US terminology.

Materials:

• 5mm crochet hook
• 1960 total yds (1792 m) of aran/worsted/size 4 yarn: 860 yds (786m) in the background color, 1100 yds (1006m) in the dog color.
• Scissors
• Stitch markers
• Bobbin holders (I used bobby pins)

This pattern is strictly for personal use. If you sell products from this pattern, please credit me as the designer.

I used Lion Brand Color Theory to make this. I recommend using a similar acrylic or wool for your own project.
