As a gift, to cuddle on the couch or for walks with the stroller. This cute and cuddly blanket will surely be an eyecatcher.

The blanket may look difficult, but with this tutorial it will be a piece of cake.

What skills are you going to need and what will you get

The tutorial is very beginner friendly and contains a lot of pictures. It guides you step by step from crocheting the pattern with tunisian simple stitches to attaching the backside. It also has a list of materials with the estimated amounts of wool for each color.

As a nice bonus, your download also comes with a PDF-file with pre-counted stitches for each color in every row. You can put this file on your ebook-reader or your smartphone and crochet comfortably wherever you are. :)

Size information

The size of the finished blanket is about 60x70 cm.

Required materials

• A tunisian crochet hook size 5.5
• A pair of scissors
• A wool needle, if you want to weave in loose threads
• Soft fabric or a cuddly fleece blanket to sew to the back
(at least 10cm wider and longer than the chrochet item)
• Pins or clamps to hold everything together for sewing
• A sewing machine or a sewing needle
• Wool for hook size 3-3.5 mm

How much wool of each colour you really need depends on how tight or loose you crochet
and how much slack you leave when colours change. The following numbers are estimates
based on my experience to use as a rough guidance.:
Light Blue 534m (214g)
Yellow 45m (18g)
Black 27m (11g)
Dark Green 20m (8g)
Blue 15m (6g)
Brown 4m (2g)
Orange 3m (1g)
