The weight is wrong and I don’t know how to change it. It is baby weight and 4 ply.

It took me a long time to finish this blanket, Altho it is easy stitch once you learn it. I learned it over on You tube as everyone was talking about it.. But life just got in the way- alot just to much going on. Crocheted on it when I could.

There are 97 rows. But you have to crochet 2 rows to get the Crocodile Scales Effect so I actually crocheted 194 rows for this baby blanket. Plus 5 rows of Front Post stitch and 2 rows of Crab stitch for the border.
The Border: Rows 1-3 is crochet using Front Post Stitch, I had 3 yarns -2 Baby Cameo with 1 Teddy Bear, 4th n 5th rows 1 Baby Cameo yarn and 2 Teddy Bear yarn.
Crab Stitch 2 rows using 1 Baby Cameo yarn and 2 Teddy Bear yarn.

I did not use the whole 14 skeins. 12 Skeins of Baby Cameo, and 2 skeins of Teddy Bear. There was about half left over from each color. I did buy 19 skeins total. Always buy extra yarn as everyone crochets different. I did take 6 skeins back to Hobby Lobby for a refund as I didn’t use it all.

Picture 14 is our Grand Nephew baby James that I crocheted this baby blanket for.
Baby James will be very warm during springs, fall, winters for the next several years of his life. I picked this stitch for baby james cause when his daddy--our nephew was little, he grew up in Florida around Crocodiles’s and Lizards and many more animals.
He is now married, in the military and baby James comes along. :-)

I used the same yarn to crochet baby James Baby booties crocheted in the form like tube socks, they will adjust with him as he grows. He will get a little wear from them to keep his feet warm.

Would I crochet this stitch again for the whole baby blanket…….no.
But I would use the Crocodile stitch on borders and trimmings--yes.

WARNING:
The Crocodile Stitch eats up alot of yarn!
