Blanket with Baby Boy, "Declan"
Traditional Basic Granny Square:
Note: This pattern uses a new color on each row so you can use any color that suits your taste. To make 2 rows of 1 color, work row 1 of pattern, do not fasten off, work dc in stitches over to the corner, Slst at the end of row into the first st of row 1 and ch 3 and continue in established pattern.
Important: You want 4 increases on each side for each row so, make sure you work the very first stitch of each row after the corner or you’ll end up with 3 increases on each row instead of 4.
If you would like to make the Cute Baby Bear, I used a pattern from Bernat Cottontots Teddy Toy. I wanted it a little bigger so, I used my leftover Vanna’s Choice yarn with a size US H/8, 5mm and added 2 sc stitches plus 1 extra row to both the head and body, added 1sc plus 1 extra row to arms and legs, added 2 sc plus 1 extra row to ears, kept the muzzle, tummy and tail the same as pattern. I also made a quick little scarf to tie around the neck (use whatever measurements you feel comfortable with.
