ZZ-Zebra is the knitted blankie friend everybody needs for adventurous dreams! Not only is it warm and cozy, it will almost certainly transform into a trusted companion that can be tugged along everywhere on its ears and tassely tail.

Instead of contrasting color stripes, this zebra is all about stylish textures with alternating sections of Garter and Stockinette Stitch and a Garter Stitch edging. The ears are knitted separately and sewn on. Optionally, the blanket can be finished off with a fun contrasting color tip on the nose, a bit of fringe for the mane, and tassels in the corners and on the tail.
