Draw a cuddly bear with yarn! Any worsted weight yarn will work with this baby blanket pattern.

The main body of this blanket uses Tunisian simple stitch crochet, a.k.a. afghan stitch. If you already know how to crochet, this will probably be easy for you.

In brief, each row in Tunisian has a forward pass and a return pass. There are lots of books and tutorials for Tunisian; if you haven’t done it before, check it out! It’s fun, and the resulting fabric resembles weaving.

The borders of this blanket are made with regular crochet.

A chart comes with the pattern which shows where to place each picot, an easy stitch made from 4 chain stitches, creating the outline of the cuddly bear.
