Description
I can’t wait to tell you about my new friend, Jerry. He’s a lovey, he’s a crib draper, he’s a toy, he’s a security blanket…he does it all! This pattern will help you learn to create this impressive baby blanket utilizing corner to corner (c2c) crochet and amigurumi! If you’ve never done c2c or amigurumi before, this pattern also contains links to helpful tutorials, and written out instructions wherever possible to make it accessible to many skill levels.
Feel free to check out my FREE helpful c2c tutorials here and here to see if you like this technique before you commit to purchasing the pattern!
Now back to Jerry… he’s about 15 inches (40cm) wide, he has an oversized head with ears and horns and a cute little fluffy tail. If you flip through the photos you’ll see Jerry in his two configuration options: a traditional lovey and what I’m calling a “crib draper.” Both styles just depend on where you seam the little arms and head. And both configurations are clearly spelled out in the pattern so you can choose the one that your baby recipient will like best!
For this pattern you’ll need about 360 yards / 330 meters of a heavy worsted/aran weight yarn like Caron One Pound or Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran and a 5mm and 4mm crochet hook. The 5mm for the blanket and 4mm for the giraffe’s head, feet and other components.
