Woodland Animals Baby Blanket

This written crochet pattern (in US terms) provides instructions to make a woodland-themed baby blanket, approximately 95 cm x 65 cm.

The blanket was planned, designed, and made for my first nephew, who will be born early next year. His nursery is blue with a touch of grey, and the theme is woodland animals.

A total of 12 woodland animals are shown on the finished blanket. However, the pattern gives instructions for 14 animals, so the maker can choose which ones to include. The blanket could also be made by repeating a selection of the animals (or only one), if desired.

The pattern calls for a 4.00 mm crochet hook, and DK yarn (however, any yarn weight with a corresponding crochet hook will work - the size of the blanket will just vary).

Instructions are provided to explain how to attach a fleece backing to the blanket, for extra warmth (it also hides the back of the blanket, which may look a little messy after the smaller pieces of each block have been attached).
