Elephant Baby Blanket
"The Tunisian Crochet Elephant Baby Blanket is a precious blanket pattern that is just right for a newborn, boy or girl! So, just perfect when the parents decided not to know the sex of the baby. Even if you are not an experienced Tunisian crocheter, I can guarantee you that you will not have any problems following this pattern. The entire blanket is worked up alternating two basic Tunisian crochet stitches, the Tunisian Knit Stitch and the Tunisian Reverse Stitch. The use of the Tunisian reverse stitch over the knit stitch creates in a tridimensional texture and creates our cute little elephant here and his hearts!"
