About
The Sleepy Sheepy Baby Blanket is an adorable patchwork throw, made of simple sheep and sky squares that come together to create the plushest, cutest fabric. I wish I had more babies in my life just so I could make this blanket over and over again to gift!

This design was originally made for my book, Crochet Retro Blankets in 1 Week. The book includes its matching pillow pattern, too!

Materials
Hook: 6.5mm or size needed to obtain gauge
Notions:

I used acrylics and wools like Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky to make this. I recommend using a similar acrylic or wool for your own project; you can find good substitutes on yarnsub.com.
Always make a swatch before beginning to make sure you meet gauge (also important so your pattern isn’t too big or too small) and are happy with the fabric created!
