Blankie Friend Merry Menace Crochet Pattern

A little bit grumpy, a little bit jolly and made especially for cuddles.

The Merry Menace Blankie Friend Crochet Pattern brings our mischievous holiday character to life as the sweetest little comfort companion. Part Merry Menace, part cosy blankie and completely full of festive personality.

Featuring his signature squishy head, mischievous expression and little arms wrapped snuggly around a beautifully textured blankie, this design is soft, floppy and wonderfully tactile. The finished Blankie Friend measures approximately 19 inches, with the blankie itself measuring approximately 13.5 inches square.

Designed as an intermediate-level crochet pattern, this project is perfect for makers comfortable working in the round, reading stitch repeats and combining multiple stitch types. It is worked primarily in chunky blanket chenille yarn for that irresistibly plush, snuggly finish.

The pattern includes detailed written instructions and step-by-step photo visuals to guide you through creating the head, face shaping, hair, embroidered features, arms and beautifully raised textured blankie. You can even choose between a mean or jolly expression when adding those all-important eyebrows.
