Materials Needed
- Yarn: Worsted weight, 100% cotton
- Crochet Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm)
- Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in double crochet
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Foundation Chain: Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 120. This will form the foundation of your blanket.
- Row 1: Double crochet (dc) in the 4th chain from the hook and in each chain across. You should have a total of 117 double crochets. Turn your work.
- Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc), then dc in each dc across. Turn your work.
- Rows 3-10: Repeat Row 2 for a total of 8 more rows. This will create the textured body of the blanket.
- Elephant Motif Row: Chain 3, then *dc in the next 10 stitches, work the elephant motif over the next 7 stitches*. Repeat from * to * across the row, then dc in any remaining stitches. Turn your work.
- Rows 12-20: Repeat Row 2 for 9 more rows. This will continue to build the body of the blanket.
- Repeat Rows 5-20: Continue repeating Rows 5 through 20 until your blanket measures approximately 36 inches in length. This will allow you to create a beautiful pattern of elephants throughout the blanket.
- Border: To finish, chain 1 and single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire blanket. Make sure to work 3 single crochets in each corner to maintain the shape. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends.
Your Elephant Parade Baby Blanket is now complete! Enjoy the cozy warmth and charm it brings to your nursery or as a thoughtful gift for a new parent.
