Crocheted Noah's Ark Blanket ~ Finished!

Remember back in March when I showed off the Bright Squares Baby Blanket that I crocheted for a friend to give as a gift? Well, that friend had also asked me to make another baby blanket to give as a gift to a different friend of hers and she wanted the second one to be a Noah's Ark theme.

So I started making it and back in April, I showed my progress in THIS post with lots of strings but all the crocheting complete.

Now the blanket is finally complete, and has been delivered. I hope the new mom likes it! Take a look...



I used the pattern I purchased from Annie's Attic which you can find HERE, but I made the wavy background of the blanket just a little bigger than the pattern called for. I think I added one or two extra 'waves' to this one. I just thought it would end up too small to be very useful if I followed the directions exactly.


Doesn't that look like such a cozy little boat to sail around in?


Such a friendly purple elephant!


This little gold fish is happily swimming in the waves.


The cheerful pink giraffe has light pink spots along her long giraffe neck and orange horns between two pink ears!


A pink and yellow turtle floats in the waves.


And a dark purple bird flies overhead looking for a place to land.

If you decide to purchase this pattern for yourself and make this blanket, you might want to check out the video I posted showing how to work the double crochet decrease which makes the wave design on the background. Even if you don't want to make the blanket with all the detail, this wave design would make a great looking, and cozy, afghan on its own!

Happy Stitching!
