Crochet pattern for a whale blanket / tapestry. This pattern comes with both a graph and written directions.

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

You will need 3 skeins of white (A), 3 skeins of Blue (B) & 1-2 skeins of gray (C) to complete this pattern. This is assuming a medium weight yarn with a skein length of about 350 yards/skein.
You will need only need 2 skeins of gray (C) if you plan on carrying all 3 skeins through the entire pattern.
I recommend carrying all 3 colors through the entire pattern to keep it even. You can also carry only white (A) and Blue (B) through the entire pattern and only carry the gray in the one section it is in (belly).

I recommend a medium weight (worsted weight) yarn with a J sized hook. The tapestry should come out a little over 4 feet wide (when crocheted with a J hook and medium weight yarn) A border can increase the size and give the project a more finished look.

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.

150 stiches wide by 68 rows tall
