If you have a TMNT fan at home, this is THE blanket you just have to make. It’s a phenomenally simple idea, combining the green yarn to represent the turtle shells, and the four color bands with eyes to represent the individual characters. It’s great, and the best thing is it’s dead simple, with a great effect at the end.
Make a Fun TMNT Crochet Blanket
This handmade crochet blanket by Kathy862 will make a great addition to a children’s room. Especially if they are huge fans of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic books or cartoons.
The blanket features stripes in colors that correspond to the characters. The crocheter also added large pairs of eyes to achieve their iconic cartoon look. How brilliant is that!
Picking the Perfect Yarn and Hook
To make this blanket design work, follow the same colorway. You need about 6-7 skeins of medium-weight yarn, such as Red Heart Super Saver, in dark green color that will perfectly mimic the turtle’s look. Prepare also one skein of blue, yellow, purple, and red yarn for the eye color bands.
A 5.5 crochet hook will help you create a blanket that measures 43” in width and 61” in length.
Stitches Used in the Pattern
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Blanket is easy enough for everyone with a good understanding of crochet basics. It is built from a foundation chain and worked in an alternate stitch pattern. You can either follow the designer’s directions that suggest using single and double crochets or go for your own stitch combination to create a unique look.
