Crochet pattern for a Fox baby blanket. This pattern comes with both a graph and written directions.

100 stiches wide by 86 rows tall

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

You will need 3 skeins of white (or background color) (A), 1 skein of brown (B), 1 skein of Orange (C) and 1 skein of tan to complete this project. This is assuming a medium weight yarn and skein length of about 350 yards.

I recommend carrying the fox colors (B, C & D) only in the section where needed. Alternatively you can carry the tan through the entire pattern to give it more thickness. You could also carry all of the colors through the entire pattern or all colors except the dark brown. For this design it largely comes down to personal preference. I have found that carrying one or two colors gives the blanket a little bit of thickness that I like but you can also see a little bit of it coming through (especially when it’s an all white background and a dark or bright color that contrasts highly). You’ll need more yarn if you carry the colors.

I recommend a medium weight (worsted weight) yarn with a J sized hook. The tapestry should come out to about 2’ 8” feet 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 2’ 8” 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.
