3in1 Safari Zebra Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern
Zebra Baby Blanket – Crochet Pattern by Crafting Happiness
I can’t wait to share this 3in1 Safari Zebra Baby Blanket with you — the newest adorable addition to my safari animal-themed designs.
Another warm cuddly blanket or soft playmat that the baby can play on. When folded, it turns into a decorative zebra toy that livens up the nursery.
The stunning animal print makes it perfect for a home with a bold and fun interior. Due to its classic black and white color combo, the blanket is gender-neutral and looks lovely when folded and rested on the cot.
I decided to use the Corner To Corner (C2C) crochet for the zebra’s body to create the stripy pattern, just like I did on my Farm Cow baby blanket.
The mane of this zebra baby blanket got me thinking, but I think that the final result looks right and cute. What do you think?

A Multipurpose Baby Blanket
This zebra baby blanket has varying wonderful uses that are ideal for a modern home with limited space. It acts like a baby blanket, a play mat, a toy, and a decoration for the nursery.
It is a blanket that keeps your child warm and comfy.
It’s also an adorable, on-the-go companion for your baby whenever you want to travel. The blanket with the attached zebra toy keeps your baby well-entertained and it helps with sensory development.
It functions as a play mat at home, too.
When not in use, fold it back and it instantly transforms into a cute zebra decoration for your little one’s room. You can rest it on the cot to continuously entertain the baby.
The Perfect Baby Shower and Birthday Present
This fun zebra baby blanket will make an ideal baby shower gift to a mom-to-be. It’s a thoughtful present that can be used year after year as a blanket, toy, or playmat.
Also, little kids that love zebras are likely to appreciate this snuggly and sweet blanket as a birthday gift!
The 3in1 Zebra Baby Blanket was designed to be a handy pattern for Wildlife or Safari themed spaces and occasions. Check out my other designs with a similar theme: the elephant, the giraffe, and the lion.
The pattern is designed with DK yarn, but you can use Aran yarn if you wish, and make adjustments to the blanket size, the body parts will come out slightly bigger but keep their shape.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I am stuck on this pattern, can you help?
Every pattern you purchase from my shop comes with help and support. I will help you get unstuck and finish your project, so you can buy with confidence and try something new.
If you are completely new to crocheting, I recommend starting with beginner patterns and building up your confidence, pay attention to the skill level of the pattern and buy only if you are already at that level.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t contact me if there is a mistake or something unclear with this pattern, it simply means that you will need to learn the stitches, the techniques, and learn how to read a pattern on your own.
You can contact me by messaging me on my Facebook page, Crafting Happiness, or by messaging me on Instagram.
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. The blanket can be adjusted by simply crocheting fewer chains in the starting chain. Instructions on how to adjust the size of the blanket are in the pattern. TIP: Use the same crochet hook I recommend in the pattern to keep the size closer to the original.
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. I recommend this yarn because it has beautiful colors and washes well.
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 starting chains and rows. Please keep in mind that making the blanket a lot larger than advised will change the way it looks when folded.
Can I sell items made with your pattern?
Yes, you can if you make them yourself. Mass production of my patterns is not allowed without written consent from me, the designer. Please check the copyright section for more details.
