The Puppy Pawprint Blanket is made up of plain solid granny squares and motif squares throughout the body, joined using crochet stitches. The border is made up of 8 rounds using mostly moss stitch with reverse crochet for the edging. I’ve used Stylecraft Special Aran for this blanket, but it’s a great stash busting project. The finished blanket is 42” x 32”.

The 25 page pattern is available in US and UK terminology - both versions will be available for you to download. It is clear to follow with detailed instructions and lots of pictures to help you make your blanket.
Skill Level: Intermediate - a variety of stitches to make up the blanket and border, as well as colour changes - I’ve included full chart and written/picture instructions for the squares, as well as pictures for joining and each round of the border. There are stitch descriptions for less common stitches.
