Imagine snuggling under a blanket where every square is stamped with paw-shaped cuteness.

This crochet project is not just about keeping warm, it’s about adding personality to your living space.

You can mix yarn colors to match your pup’s fur or go bold with bright, playful tones.

Each finished square feels like completing a tiny celebration of paws, and once stitched together, you’ll have a blanket that’s as delightful to look at as it is to curl up under.

Materials Needed

• 5-6 skeins of medium-weight yarn (variety of colors: white, blue, beige, brown; approx. 200g each)
• 1 skein of border yarn (200g, color of your choice)
• Crochet hook size H/8 (5 mm)
• Yarn needle for weaving ends
• Scissors
• Measuring tape

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Begin by crocheting the paw print motif squares.

You can start with a magic circle for the paw pad and add four smaller circles for the toes, attaching them to the base square.

Step 2: Continue building the square around the paw print using your chosen background color.

Make as many squares as you need for your blanket size (about 25-36 for a throw).

Step 3: Block your squares to even out their shape and size before joining.

Step 4: Sew or crochet the squares together in rows, making sure paw prints all face the same direction.

Step 5: Add a border around the blanket using double crochet stitches, working 3 stitches into each corner for neat edges.

Step 6: Weave in any loose ends and smooth the blanket flat. Your paw print masterpiece is ready to keep you cozy.

Tips:

Choose softer yarn for a blanket that feels gentle against your skin.

If gifting, consider stitching your pet’s name into one of the squares for a personal touch.
