Crochet Safari Animal Blanket....

Safari Animal Baby Blanket

Measures approx. 40 1/2" x 40 1/2"

Materials:
--#4 worsted weight yarn; I used "I Love This Yarn" from Hobby Lobby in the following colors:  Sea Blue, Mid-Green, Forest Green, Brown, Coffee, Toasted Almond, Light Taupe, Black, White, Red, Desert Glaze, Terra Cotta, Burnt Pumpkin, Sungold, Light Peach, Mango and Buttercup
--6mm hook
--tapestry needle for weaving

For each block:
1.  I used C2C method with HDC stitches and chain 5.
2.  I added 1 round of SC stitches in the background color after completing each block.  I put 3 SC stitches in each corner. 

For the border:
1.  I used white yarn and 6mm hook to do one round of HDC stitches around each block with 3 HDC stitches in each corner.
2.  I then whipstitched the blocks together to make the blanket.
3.  Now, 1 round of HDC stitches around the entire blanket.
4.  I switched to dark green yarn and completed 1 round of SC stitches.
5.  I switched yarn to a dark brown and completed 1 round of HDC stitches.
6.  For the final round, I used Mid Green yarn and made *5 DC into a stitch, skipped a stitch, SC in next stitch, skipped a stitch* repeat from * to * around.  Fasten off.  Weave ends.
