Hello Lovely! And welcome to my Free Puppy Baby Blanket Crochet/Amigurumi Pattern.
I am a big dog lover, which is why I just loved designing this blanket, I have grown up with dogs my entire life, and at the time of writing this I am currently the human slave to my American Staffordshire Terrier named Kenzie.
She is the most beautiful dog and just full of personality, also very cheeky and knows how to get what she wants.
And I swear she holds grudges… because she farts on me a lot, but doesn’t do that to anybody else, and then she gets this huge cheeky grin…. but anyway isn’t she adorable?
I know you’re not here to see pictures of my dog, but I just couldn’t resist, she is just so photogenic, but let’s get on with the real reason your here, my Free Puppy Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern.
It is a 3in1 baby blanket so it can be used for more than just 1 purpose.
It can be used as a baby blanket, however I do recommend supervision at all times, a playmat, again supervision as you can never be too careful with babies and toddlers, as well as a decoration, when not in use simply hang it over a chair or a cot to make your babies or toddlers room stand out.
I do hope you love my free pattern, and I would love to see it if you make one in different colours so be sure to post yours up in the comments!
So without further ado, my Free Puppy Baby Blanket Crochet/Amigurumi Pattern.
This pattern is also available as an ad-free, printer-friendly with step by step pictures pdf pattern that can be purchased at the links below on either Etsy or Ravelry.

You should have 7 squares starting and ending with the dark brown (light brown).
Repeat this process with the Light Brown and Cream Strips, starting with the Light Brown in place of the Dark Brown.
Border (Optional).
Once the blanket is sewn together you may add a border.
Starting in the top corner with the Dark Brown Yarn, SC along the whole top of the blanket.
This should be approximately 133 stitches (this will depend on your sewing seams for the strips).
This should be approximately the same for the bottom amount.
SC 2 times in the corner stitches of the blanket to make nice, even curves.
SC down the sides of the blanket by SC into every row.
This should be approximately 168 stitches (this will depend on your colour joins and if you can or cannot SC into those).
This should be approximately the same for both sides.
To finish off the border neatly slip stitch into the first st.

Congrats you should now have completed all the pieces you need to assembly your Puppy Baby Blanket/Playmat/Decoration.
Now it is time to assemble it all.
(Please Note – I do provide step-by-step pictures off all the pieces and assembly but only in my paid version on Etsy and Ravelry, so if you are wanting more assistance with the assembly, check on my links at the top of the pattern).
First you need to start with sewing the ears onto the head.
You should have sewn them flat so that you can easily pin them to the top sides of the head, pinning them helps keep them in place and allows you to line them up to make sure they match as much as possible.
Then once you are happy with the placement, simply sew them into the head.
Once that is done you are up to sewing the head onto the blanket.
This can be tricky but I found sewing from the bottom of the blanket up into the head worked best for me.
Make sure your head is placed on the middle front square.
Once your head is sewn on, please be sure to make sure it is secure as it can be very wobbly if not sewn in very well done.
Next is the sew the legs onto it.
So to do this you will need to know where and hold to fold you blanket.
First – Lay your blanket flat upside down.
Second – Fold your blanket from both sides so the meet in the middle.
Third – Fold your blanket from the top down.
Your head should be in the middle brown square.
Now you line up your legs on the sides at the front and back, I found it helped to pin them in to hold their place while I sewed them in.
Be careful you don’t sew into more than one layer of the blanket as this is very easy to do.
Now you need to sew in the tail.
Again pinning it helps a lot and it goes at the back, in the middle square, lined up with the back legs.
Now all your pieces should be sewn in!
You blanket should now look like this!
You have completed your Puppy Baby Blanket/Playmat/Decoration!
