My Dolphin Blanket is another one that was completed in my Animal Series of Blankets (check out my blog for some cute animal Blankets). This blanket was made specifically for a girl, that's a tween. It measures 39" wide and 50" from top of the hoodie to the bottom. I used Bernat Blanket Yarn in Country Blue. It has a button at the neck to wear as a cape. The side fins can be used as gloves. And, of course, it folds up, slips under the hoodie and becomes a pillow. I love, love versatility!!!!

Give it a go!!! If you make one please share a picture; I would love to see it!

This is a quick and fairly easy crochet Afghan pattern. Perfect for the fall this Afghan uses Sport weight yarn and still works up fast! The stitch used is a variation of the waffle stitch / side saddle stitch and I was first introduced to it while crocheting a Christening gown. I think the stitch makes for a really nice texture and drape for a lighter throw. I made a few of these in different color combinations and just love the ombre effect!
