Crochet pattern for a Elephant chasing a butterfly baby blanket. This pattern comes with both a graph and written directions.

This pattern can be crocheted in any colors your heart desires. It’s only the background color and then a contrasting light and dark colors. You can do it in blues, pinks, yellow etc….

All single stitch crochet using the tapestry crochet technique (carrying yarn)

You will need 3 skeins of White (A) or background color, 2 skeins of Dark Blue (B) or dark color & 2 skeins of Blue (C) or whatever color you’d like to contrast with color (B) to complete this pattern. This is assuming a medium weight yarn with a skein length of 350 yards/skein.

I recommend carrying all 3 colors through the entire pattern to keep it even.

I recommend a medium weight (worsted weight) yarn with a J sized hook. The tapestry should come out to about 3’ 4” wide (when crocheted with a J hook and medium weight yarn). This can vary pretty widely based on the person crocheting it. There are online conversion calculators where you basically crochet a test patch and then enter in your results to come up with a more specific size you’d get based on how you crochet and the yarn you’re using etc. Based on how I crochet I would get a 3’ 4” width.

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. I highly recommend trying a small simple pattern to practice carrying yarn before attempting a larger project. Carrying yarn gets more difficult as you add more colors.
