Yes, you guessed it - this has been made for an animal lover - and what's better than have little paw prints sprinkled all over the blanket, eh? (way better than actual paw prints and animal fur .. 😉 )

You can use any yarn with a suitable hook to make this project to any size.
For Indians : You could use any of our acrylic yarns with a suitable hook or Anchor , Red rose ; Red rose metallic ; Laura or unbranded knitting cotton as well as acrylic yarns
International yarns : Among the international yarns I have used, I’d suggest Aunt Lydia Cotton 10, Aunt Lydia Bamboo-Viscose 10, DMC Petra, Sullivans knitting cotton (Australia), Milford Soft, Hilaza Rustica Eclat , Alize cotton yarn and Alize bamboo yarn.
Size made : Queen size bed cover
This is only given to you to get a general idea of how much yarn you may need.
You can make this to any size to just use up your yarn.
Difficulty level : Intermediate to Advanced Skill level.
Double Crochet : dc :yo, insert hk into st ; yo (3 lps on hk); [yo, draw through 2 lps] twice.One dc made.Check out the video at https://youtu.be/xdnjB27zpYo
Chainless start for Double Crochet : I dislike the ch-2 / ch – 3 start, and this is what I do to start my row of dc.
The only difference is that I started with fdc or Foundation Double Crochet stitches.
Foundation double crochet (fdc) : This is a unique way of starting a project directly with a row of double crochet stitches. Here is an easy video tutorial https://youtu.be/hjNUYVvyU9k
The stitch count for this pattern is given as multiples of 20 + 2 - but if you start with fdc, start with multiples of 20
How do I work this if I do not have the yarn you have used?
I did not have the yarn used by the designer - so all I did was work multiples of 20 sts till I had the width needed for my blanket.
Have fun and do remember to share my blog post & credit the original designer when you show off your creation.
