Baby Sea Turtle Blanket Throw

This blanket is absolutely fun to make. Changing the Baby Sea Turtle Baby Blanket to a larger size was pretty easy.
Isn’t this the cutest lovey.
I make these to sell in my Etsy shop, but I can’t keep up with the orders. This one requires a little more yarn. You will need 2 skeins of each color, except for white, you will only need one skein.
Check out this sweet Turtle plushie!

Baby Sea Turtle Pattern
I used the Baby Sea Turtle Pattern by Kristin Jacobs
Make 9. I used lime green as color 1 and hunter green as color 2. I did not make the back, but instead attached them to the blanket. Due to the nature of the project, I did not stuff the turtles so there wasn’t a choking hazard.
Starfish Pattern
Size H Hook
Gold Yarn
Make 2
Round 1 – Magic circle, ch 1. 5 sc in magic circle, join with a sl st, pull tight. (5 sc)
Round 2 – ch 1, 2 sc in each st, join with a sl st,
Round 3 – *Ch 7, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 3 ch, hdc in next 2 ch, skip next sc, sl st in next sc* repeat from * to *, finish off, leaving a long tail to attach to blanket.
Assembly
Weave in all ends. Use a whip stitch to sew the baby sea turtles and starfish.
