Aussie Granny Square Blanket Crochet Pattern | Koala Kangaroo Wombat Motif Squares PDF Pattern

Description

🦘 AUSSIE GRANNY SQUARE BLANKET — SIX AUSSIE MOTIFS CROCHETED RIGHT INTO THE SQUARES 🧶

Here’s a blanket with nothing stuck on it. Six animal and bush motifs — koala, kangaroo, wombat, platypus, quokka and a bottlebrush spike — are crocheted INTO their squares as flat tapestry colourwork from full colour charts. Nothing is sewn on afterwards, so nothing can come off in the wash: the motif IS the square. Checkerboard them with plain granny squares in soft pastels, join, add the border — done. We’re Al and Tina, an Aussie family shop, and this is a proper Australian blanket for cots, prams, laps and reading chairs.

Please note this is a crochet pattern, not a finished blanket. Your download is a 28-page PDF with 8 patterns inside.

📋 WHAT’S INSIDE

✔ 8 patterns in one PDF — 6 motif squares, the plain granny square, and the full blanket assembly
🎨 A full colour chart for EVERY motif — and the written rows are generated from the same charts, so chart and text always agree
🔢 Every row and round counted, with the stitch count at the end of every line
🗺️ A full layout diagram showing exactly where all 48 squares go
🧶 Joining and border instructions with stitch counts — border round 1 is 736 sts, counted, not guessed
📋 A yarn totals table up front — grams, metres and yards per colour, plus 50 g ball counts
📖 US crochet terms with a UK equivalents table

🧩 THE 8 PATTERNS

Patterns 1–6 — the Koala, Kangaroo, Wombat, Platypus, Quokka and Bottlebrush motif squares: each is a 15 × 15 chart worked as a tapestry panel, framed in cream, then edged into a 14 cm square.
Pattern 7 — the Plain Granny Square in six soft pastels, sized to match the motif squares exactly.
Pattern 8 — the Blanket itself: make 24 motif squares (4 of each design) and 24 plain squares, lay them out from the diagram, whipstitch the strips, and finish with a three-round border ending in crab stitch.

📏 SIZE — The finished blanket is about 88 × 116 cm (35 × 46 in): cot, pram, lap and reading-chair size, with every square about 14 cm. Want it bigger? Add another strip — the border maths in the pattern shows you how.

🧶 SKILLS & YARN — Confident beginner and up: chains, single and double crochet, reading a colour chart, and changing colour mid-row (the pattern walks you through your first panel). DK weight yarn; the whole blanket takes about 1,069 m (1,169 yd), with every colour and amount in the yarn totals table, down to the ball count.
