This one is a bit different from the usual. You can make this as a queen sized blanket, with either the front of the elephant or the back of the elephant on it. You can also make just the elephant (front or back), without the background squares.

Accessibility:

  • tested for colour blind readability using Coblis simulator
  • prints clearly in black/white
  • includes separate schematics for right-handed AND left-handed crocheters
  • video tutorial linked in pattern
  • second PDF file contains picture tutorial for the joining method (or find it here)

What makes ASA patterns different: Traditional granny squares meet innovative joining. These patterns use squares of varying sizes, while the continuous joining method dramatically reduces ends to weave in.

Finished size: (full version) is approximately 28 x
22.7 times bigger than your 3-round square.
Sample measures 94” x 76”

Finished size: (just the elephant) is approximately
17.3 x 22.7 times bigger than your 3-round square.
Sample measures 60” x 78”

Skill level: Intermediate (the joining method is the challenge, not the squares themselves)

What’s included:

  • Written granny square pattern (or use your own favourite)
  • RH and LH schematics
  • Continuous join tutorial links (written with photos + video)
