The Stitches

Written in US term

magic ring dc – double crochet


ch – chain inc – increase
sl st – slip stitch inc blo – increase back loop only
yo – yarn over dec – decrease
sc – single crochet

Special Stitches:

First Double Crochet In The Row (dc1) – sc in the first stitch, ch2. Compared
to the usual method of crocheting a double crochet in the first row (ch3),
this method of constructing it will eliminate the gap that usually occurs
between the first two stitches and will help bring the yarn that is not in use
over to the following row..

Single Crochet Back Loop Only (sc blo) – A stitch has a front and back loop
that meet at one end and look like an horizontal V (looks like this >). To
single crochet in the back loop only, insert the hook in the middle of the V
from top and under the back loop (the loop that is away from you), yo and
draw up a loop. Yarn over and pull through the two loops.

Gauge

Keep the tension relaxed, if your work is too tight, the ends will curl. Use one
size up hook to make the foundation chain and first row.

Gauge is important when crocheting the gingham pattern. Make a small


swatch before starting any larger projects to figure it out how many rows
you need to make to create a square.

2
My gauge for this tutorial is 10 stitches and 4 rows per square. The entire
blanket has 9 squares by 11.

Using the yarn weight and hook size suggested in this pattern will create a
blanket size 100cm by 80cm (39.5in by 31.5in).

About

For your convenience, this pattern contains the illustrated tutorial at the
beginning, and print-friendly pattern with no pictures and large print at the
end.

This beautiful 3 in 1 baby blanket acts as a toy, a blanket and a decoration for
your loved one's room. Unfold it and keep your child warm and snuggly
while he is entertained playing with the bear.

Once done, fold it back and it instantly transforms into a decorative item
that you can rest on the arm chair or the side of the cot.

Made with double knit (light worsted) yarn, this blanket is warm and soft,
but light in weight, perfect for babies of all sizes and ages.

The blanket is crocheted neutral shades of brown that fit in any nursery,
make it your own and choose any color that suits your color scheme and
decor. It's gender neutral, will suit both boys and girls.

This pattern will create a baby blanket size 100cm by 80cm (39.5in by
31.5in), but you can make yours as small or as large as you like by changing
the number of the starting chains and the number of rows.

Depending how big you choose the blanket to be, there are 2 different
techniques of folding it: the gate fold technique and the tri fold technique.
For this size of blanket, I used the gate fold Technique explained in detail at
the end.

3
1. For small to medium blankets such as pram blankets you should
choose the gate fold technique

2. for larger blankets such as baby blankets use the tri fold technique

The Pattern
The blanket is made out of 5 different parts:
– 1 x blanket
– 1 x head
– 2 x ears
– 4 x legs
– 3 x buttons & loops

The Blanket

The blanket is crocheted with the double crochet gingham pattern and
consists of a repeat of 2 color changes: dark brown / brown squares,
brown/cream squares.

If you are a tight crocheter, use one size larger hook to make the foundation
chain and row (in this case I used a 4.5mm hook, then a 4mm hook to
complete the blanket).

5
The pattern requires you to chain multiples of 28 + 17 chains. The starting
row for this blanket is 129 chains.

The Buttons & Loops

The buttons and loops will keep the blanket closed and so, it won't unfold
when rested on the cot, armchair etc.

Make 3 of each.

15
The Buttons

With dark brown color and a 4mm hook , create a magic ring.

Round 1: 12sc in the magic ring, sl st in the first stitch and leave a long tail =

The Loops

Crochet 3 loops on the same side on the blanket, on its length:

With a 4mm hook, join the dark brown yarn with a sl st to the blanket, ch4,
sl st in the following stitch, fasten off and weave in the ends.

Putting The Blanket Together

Lightly fill the muzzle and lightly squish it into an oval shape. Pin it to the
head, right below the eyes, , like in the photos below.

17
Sew the nose on the muzzle with dark brown yarn. Sew the ears on top of
the head as in the photo.

Tie the buttons on the side opposite to where the loops were created, on
the same position as the loops (2 in the corners and 1 in the middle).

Place the blanket with the wrong side up and using the gate fold technique
shown at the beginning, fold the blanket lengthwise then using the tri fold
technique, fold the blanket widthwise. You will end with a square.

If you're still not sure how to fold it, scroll down and see the photos in 'How
To Fold Your Blanket' section.

Mark the corners (for the legs) and the middle of the edge of the blanket
(for the head) with a safety pin or a piece of yarn.

This will be the location of the body parts. make sure the head is located on
the edge of the blanket not the opposite way.

18
Unfold the blanket and sew on the legs.

Now sew the head between the front legs, in the middle of the colored
square (square no.5 out of the 9).

This is how your blanket should look like once finished.

19
How To Fold Your Blanket
Step 1: lay the blanket on the floor with the wrong side up

Step 2: fold each side up the the center and tie up the buttons by sliding
them through the loops on the opposite side.

20
Step 3: divide the length of the blanket in three equal imaginary parts and
fold the end of the blanket (the one that doesn't have the head) like in the
picture below (the end will reach the back legs).

Step 4: fold the blanket again in half as in the picture.

Once folded you can rest it on the side of the sofa, cot, armchair etc, or roll it
inwards and rest it anywhere you like.

starting row for this blanket is 129 chains.
