Wild Badger Blanket - Crochet Pattern
Crocheted by Susan. Thank you for beautifully demonstrating how you can add a pop of colour to completely transform your Wild Badger Blanket.
Meet the Wild Badger Blanket! This fun and striking overlay mosaic design features the charming British badger in a classic checkerboard pattern. Whether you choose to embrace a bold black-and-white palette or add in a pop of colour, this pattern is sure to become a fast favourite.
Crocheted using aran weight yarn, it’s lovely and cosy to snuggle up under! Plus, with the adaptable repeat, you can easily customise it to create a blanket of any size you like - will you go for an adorable baby blanket, or a hygge-feeling throw?

Fun fact: Did you know that British badgers are the UK’s largest land predator? These nocturnal creatures are also social, living in underground setts with family groups called "clans." Badgers are known for their black and white striped faces, which makes them easily recognizable, just like the bold motifs in this blanket. As you crochet, you'll be creating your own tribute to one of Britain’s most beloved and iconic animals!
