Description
Highland Cow Crochet Pattern – Cuddle and Play Folding Animal Blanket | PDF Pattern
SKILL LEVEL: Advanced / Experienced
Meet the Highland Cow Cuddle and Play Blanket – an original Crochet Arcade design that combines a cosy chunky crochet blanket with an adorable Highland cow toy.
When opened out, it’s a warm and practical blanket. Fold it up and the Highland cow comes to life! The finished design can be used as a blanket, soft toy, cuddle buddy, cushion or playmat, making it a fun and unusual handmade gift for babies, children, teenagers and Highland cow-loving adults.
Crochet Arcade’s original Cuddle and Play folding animal blanket concept was created by designer Aneta Wawro in 2018, and the collection has continued to grow with new animal designs ever since.
The Highland Cow pattern is available in three blanket sizes, so you can make one for almost any age:
– Baby/Toddler: 30″ × 36″
– Child: 30″ × 48″
– Teen/Adult: 30″ × 60″
A CROCHET GIFT THAT’S A LITTLE DIFFERENT
If you’re looking for something more unusual than a traditional crochet blanket, this design gives you the best of both worlds.
The simple blanket shape works beautifully with modern and neutral interiors, while the Highland cow head, legs and character details transform it into something much more playful when folded.
It makes a lovely handmade gift for a baby shower, birthday, new baby or Highland cow lover – and it’s the sort of crochet project that’s likely to get a surprised reaction when you demonstrate how the blanket transforms!
QUICKER TO MAKE WITH CHUNKY YARN
The blanket is designed using Dreamy Wool Cuddle Soft Chunky, a soft 50% cotton / 50% acrylic chunky yarn developed with baby projects and Crochet Arcade’s Cuddle and Play designs in mind.
Using chunky yarn means the blanket grows surprisingly quickly compared with many traditional crochet blankets. Depending on your crochet speed and chosen variation, a baby-size Cuddle and Play blanket can take approximately 15–30 hours to complete.
ONE PROJECT – LOTS OF USES
Your finished Highland Cow can become:
– a cosy crochet blanket
– a folding Highland cow toy
– a cuddly companion
– a decorative cushion when folded
– a playmat or tummy-time blanket
It also looks beautiful displayed over the side of a cot, bed or sofa when not in use.
