Get ready to add a dash of woodland playfulness to your crochet with the Feeling Squirrelly Blanket! This design features an adorable squirrel perched on a tree stump, playfully holding an acorn, all framed in a bold split silhouette for a modern look. It’s the perfect mix of whimsy and charm, making it a standout project for nature lovers, woodland nurseries, or anyone who enjoys a touch of personality in their crochet décor.
Like the other blankets in my Woodland Collection, this design was created to capture the beauty and magic of the forest in a fun and modern way. The split silhouette style makes the imagery pop, while the squirrel’s lively character adds warmth and personality to the design.
Crocheting with Color Changes
This pattern uses my signature color-changing crochet technique to create crisp lines and clean details without endless yarn ends to weave in. The result is a professional-looking blanket that is both enjoyable to make and eye-catching once complete. Whether you’re snuggling under it on a cool evening or gifting it to a woodland enthusiast, the Feeling Squirrelly Blanket is sure to bring joy and smiles.
If you’d like to perfect your skills before diving in, my Color Changing Made Easy course will guide you step-by-step through the same technique I used in this design. With over 3 hours of detailed video lessons, you’ll gain the confidence to crochet bold, image-driven blankets with ease.
Woodland Style Blanket Collection
This blanket was originally designed as part of a collection of six woodland-themed throw blankets, each featuring a modern split silhouette style. Every design in the series highlights a unique element of the forest, bringing together nature-inspired details in a bold, contemporary way. The mushroom blanket quickly became a favorite for its whimsical charm and cozy woodland feel. You can find links for all the individual designs at the end of this blog post.
