Happy Bee Baby Blanket
3in1 Happy Bee Baby Blanket – A Folding Baby Afghan In The Shape Of A Bee
What a great idea! A cuddly warm blanket that the baby can play with and then it folds into a decorative pillow/armchair decor in the shape of a happy bee.
This blanket is perfect for a minimalist home, it’s gender-neutral and looks gorgeous when folded and rested on the armchair.
Made with double knit (light worsted) yarn, this blanket is warm and soft, but light in weight, perfect for babies of all sizes and ages.
The modern granny pattern used here creates a lacy and delicate blanket.

Happy Bee Baby Blanket – Why is it called a 3in1 Happy Bee Baby Blanket?
The 3in1 happy bee baby blanket acts as a blanket, a toy, and a decoration for your loved one’s room.
It is a blanket that keeps your child warm and snuggly.
Unfolded, it keeps your child snuggly while he or she is entertained playing with the toy bee attached to the blanket.
When you are not using the blanket, fold it back and it instantly transforms into a cute animal decoration that you can rest on the armchair or the side of the cot.

Can I crochet this blanket using Aran yarn (worsted yarn #4)?
Yes, you can! The body parts will come out a little larger than my own, but still, in the same shape, use a smaller hook than recommended for Aran yarn to keep the size smaller. The blanket can be adjusted by simply crocheting more rounds.
Do I have to use the same yarn brand as you to get the same result?
No, you don’t. You can use any brand you like but pay attention to the yardage, different brands have different yardage. Here is a list of alternative yarns I recommend.
Can I change the size of the blanket?
Yes, you can. Each pattern can be adjusted by simply changing the number of rounds you make.
Can I sell items made with your pattern?
Yes, you can. Please check the copyright section for more details.
