Teddy Bear Baby Blanket Graphghan

**Pattern Notes** This sweet teddy bear baby blanket is a simple, beginner-friendly graphghan design featuring a classic teddy bear face. With clean lines and minimal color changes, it is perfect for those new to graphghan crochet as well as experienced makers looking for a relaxing project. The finished blanket makes a cozy and thoughtful gift for babies, baby showers, or nurseries. **Size** Finished blanket size will vary depending on yarn choice and tension. Sample size is approximately 36" x 36" (baby blanket size). You can easily adjust the size by changing your yarn weight, hook size, or by adding a border. **Materials** Medium (4) weight yarn (I have suggested color choices in Big Twist) 5.0 mm (H) crochet hook (or size needed to meet gauge) Tapestry needle for weaving in ends Scissors **Yarn Requirements** Exact yardage will vary depending on tension and finished size. Approximate usage: Main background color: 3–4 skeins Bear color: 1–2 skeins Contrast colors (ears, nose, facial features): small amounts (scrap yarn is sufficient) **Additional Notes** This pattern is worked in single crochet throughout and follows a color chart (graphghan), indicating color changes for each stitch. You may use your preferred method (tapestry crochet, bobbins, or intarsia). Carrying yarn or using bobbins is recommended to keep color changes clean. For best results, maintain consistent tension throughout the project. Blocking is optional but can help even out stitches and improve overall appearance. **What You’ll Receive** This pattern includes a complete set of files to support different learning styles and make your project as easy as possible: • Welcome to Bracken Wood Guide – includes helpful tips for working graphghans, backing your blanket, and yarn/color details used in the sample • Graph/Chart Pattern – perfect for visual crocheters • Written Pattern – standard row-by-row instructions • Block-Style Written Pattern – simplified layout for easy tracking All files are included in your download after purchase.
