The Stitches
Written in US term
2
First Treble In The Row – sc in the first stitch, ch3. Compared to the usual
method of crocheting a treble in the first row (ch4), this method of
constructing it will eliminate the gap that usually occurs.
Gauge
Keep the tension relaxed, if your work is too tight, the ends will curl. Use one
size up hook to make the foundation chain and first row.
Using the yarn weight and hook size suggested in this pattern will create a
blanket size 110cm by 130cm (39.5in by 29.5in). Gauge for the blanket for a
10cm by 10cm (3.9in by 3.9in) area is 6 rows by 7 stitches.
About
The blanket is suitable for girls or boys alike and comes in two version:
triceratops or stegosaurus so you can choose the design you like best.
3
The blanket is designed to be a full body blanket. The pattern includes
child and adult size hood and mittens. The blanket can also be customized to
fit a child or an adult and the pattern is explained in a way that you can
make it as big or small as you would like it to be.
Made with super chunky (super bulky / #6) yarn, this blanket is warm
and soft, and works up in no time.
This pattern will create a blanket size 110cm by 130cm (43.5in by 51in).
To customize the blanket, measure the distance from wrist to wrist (with the
hands stretched) for the width and shoulder to floor for the length.
As this is a blanket made specifically for a teenager, I will list the rough sizes
and quantities needed to make a standard blanket for a child and and adult.
Hopefully this will help you decide how much yarn you will need for your
project.
1. child size – 100cm wide (wrist to wrist) and 100cm tall (shoulder to
floor)
– 9 x 100g balls of super chunky (super bulky/ #6) in green
– 1 x 100g ball of super chunky (super bulky/ #6) in gray
4
2. adult size – 125cm wide (wrist to wrist) and 125cm tall (shoulder to
floor)
– 16 x 100g balls of super chunky (super bulky/ #6) in green
– 2 x 100g ball of super chunky (super bulky/ #6) in gray
The Pattern
The blanket is made out of 7 different patterns, choose your design and
make the parts need:
– 1 x blanket (triceratops & stegosaurus)
– 1 x hood that comes in adult and child size (triceratops & stegosaurus)
– 2 x mittens that come in adult and child size (triceratops &
stegosaurus)
– 8 x spikes (stegosaurus)
– 3 x horns (triceratops)
– 5 x back plates (triceratops)
– 2 x eyes small (triceratops) – optional

The hooded blanket is made of 3 parts:
The Blanket
If you are a tight crocheter, use one size larger hook to make the foundation
chain and first row (in this case I used a 11mm hook, then a 10mm hook to
complete the blanket).
– the pattern is a repeat of 2 rows: rows of long wave pattern with rows
of single crochet stitches
– based on the stitches located 2 rows below: sc on top of a tr, hdc on
top of a dc, dc on top of a hdc, tr on top of a sc
6
– the first treble in the row is constructed according to the method
explained in the 'Special Stitches' section on page 2 and will just be
referred as treble blo (tr blo) in the pattern to make it easier to follow,
feel free to use any method you might like to crochet it, this the
method that worked best for me
– end the blanket with a row of sc, it will look neat and balanced
The blanket is made in green super chunky (super bulky/#6) yarn using a
10mm hook.
Row 2: sc in 3rd ch from hook, sc, *2hdc, 2dc, 3tr, 2dd, 2hdc,3sc*, repeat
sequence until the end of the row, turn
Row 4: 3tr blo, *2dc blo, 2hdc blo, 3sc blo, 2hdc blo, 2dc blo, 3tr blo* ,
repeat sequence until the end of the row, turn
For the purpose of this tutorial I made a smaller swatch to show you how to
crochet the long wave pattern. See below the step by step illustrated tutorial
or visit www.craftinghappiness.co.uk for the full tutorial with diagram and

The Mittens
16
The pattern for mittens comes in adult and child size. Make two in gray
super chunky (super bulky/#6) yarn using a 10mm hook.
Work in the round without turning, use a piece of yarn or a stitch marker to
mark the beginning of the rows. The number at the end of each round is the
number of stitches you should have.
Adult Size
The adult size measures 20cm (8in) tall and 13cm (5in) wide.
Child Size
The child size measures 15cm (6in) tall and 10cm (4in) wide.

17
Lay the blanket with the wrong side up (the textured side), place the hood
with the open part up on the width side of the blanket.
Join the hood to the blanket, in the middle, with the slip stitch method. You
should have 14 stitches left on one side and 13 stitches on the other side.
With gray super chunky (super bulky/#6), crochet a row of single crochet
stitches all around the blanket and hood making sure you are crocheting 3sc
stitches in each corner to form the corner.
18
Place the mittens at the corners on either side of the hood and join them to
the edge with the slip stitch method as in the picture (10 stitches for the
adult mittens and 8 stitches for the child mittens).

round without turning, using a piece of yarn or a stitch maker to mark the
beginning of the round.

pulling the end of the yarn string = 6

Make two in DK (light worsted) yarn in white, black and gray using a 4mm
hook.
Round 1: 10sc, sl st in the first sc and fasten off, close the magic ring my
pulling the end of the yarn string = 10
25
Round 2: join the white yarn in any stitch you want, sc in same stitch, inc, sc,
inc, 3hdc in the following stitch, inc, sc, inc, sc, 3hdc in the following stitch, sl

Join the 5 head plates to each other as in the picture, using the slip stitch
method (join 5 stitches from the bottom).
Position the middle head plate in the middle of the hood and sew them to
the hood between rows 13 and 14 ( from the front of the hood, including
the gray row).
26
Fill the 2 bigger horns with polyfil stuffing and sew them in front on the head
plates on the 12th row, approximately 8 stitches apart, as in the photo.
Fill the smaller horn and sew it on the the front of the hood, positioned
between the large horns.
Finally, if you chose your blanket to have eyes, sew them on each side.
Fold each side and then roll the blanket from the bottom until your reach
the hood. Fold the hood over the blanket.
