(Yes, this is the pattern for THE turtle blanket that got incredibly popular all over the internet in March 2016 and has stayed hugely popular ever since!)
This listing includes 2 original crochet patterns by June Gilbank:
- Ribbed Ripple / Turtle Beach blanket
- Baby Sea Turtle Collection
You can add as many turtles from the Baby Sea Turtle Collection to your blanket as you desire, and/or make the turtles as separate toys.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
RIBBED RIPPLE/TURTLE BEACH BLANKET
The gentle waves of this ripple are highlighted by the ribs at the edge of each stripe. The Ribbed Ripple stitch pattern works up into a beautiful blanket with a wave stripe repeat in any 2 (or more) colours, or make the Turtle Beach version with sand and sea colours, either as an afghan square, a playmat for aquatic toys, or a full blanket. Use the optional edging instructions to square off the rippled top and bottom edges, so you can e.g. use this as a square in a larger blanket, or turn it into the front of a cushion cover.
Yarn: worsted weight yarn
• approx 75m/80yds total for a 10"square
• approx 1300m/1400yds for a 3ft x 4ft blanket
Hook: H US/5mm crochet hook
Size: any size blanket/square of your choice, but the pattern includes specifics to make a 10"/25.5cm square and a 3ft x 4ft (36x48”, 91x122cm) blanket.
Please note: the basic blanket instructions are available free from www.planetjune.com/turtlebeach but this PDF version includes lots of bonus content:
- Full patterns to make 3ft x 4ft Turtle Beach blankets with either 4 or 5 shades of yarn (yellow, white, and 2 or 3 blues)
- The modifications required to turn my Hatching Turtle (from the Baby Sea Turtle Collection pattern, also included in this listing) into a Swimming Turtle that looks like the back half of its shell is submerged.
- Optional edging instructions to square off the rippled top and bottom edges (you can see this in the pink-and-grey sample pictured in the gallery), so you can use this as a beach-themed square in a larger blanket, or turn it into the front of a cushion cover, for example – and there are lots more applications.
- Any-size modification instructions, so you can make any size afghan square, a baby blanket, or even a huge blanket to fit a king-sized bed!
- NEW: A two-page appendix of extra bonus content: popular modification ideas (including the puffy 3-dimensional seafoam addition to the blanket shown in the last photo in the image gallery, my favourite way to attach the turtles, and more) and troubleshooting tips for the blanket and turtles.

BABY SEA TURTLE COLLECTION

Make a family of life-sized baby sea turtle hatchlings, together with about-to-hatch turtle eggs and an adorable baby turtle who is just emerging from his egg. Make your turtles realistic in greys, browns, or greens, or use any colour combination you want to make a sweet toy in any pair of colours!
Yarn: worsted weight yarn (the pictured samples use Red Heart Soft yarn)
Hook: US E / 3.5mm

- Sea Turtle: approx 4.5-5" (11.5-13cm) long, depending on how you position the flippers.

PERSONALIZATION
Before you can complete your order, you'll need to enter "yes" in the 'Personalization' box to confirm you understand you are buying a single-user licence for a crochet pattern to make the item you see in the photos for this listing, NOT the finished item that you see in the photos. Your pattern will be downloadable as a PDF file from PlanetJune; see 'Delivery Information' below for details. All sales are final.
DELIVERY INFORMATION
This/these pattern(s) will be downloadable from PlanetJune.com as PDF file(s) once I have processed your order and issued your pattern licences. I aim to process Etsy orders once a day, even on weekends and holidays when I can, and within 24-48 hours whenever possible. I'll email you with your download details when your order has been processed - please check your Spam folder for an email with subject 'your PlanetJune download instructions' if you don't see my email!
I don't sell my patterns through Etsy downloads, as I don’t sell just *PDF copies of crochet patterns* as other Etsy sellers do, I sell *perpetual single-user licences* for my patterns, which give you far more! All pattern licences are processed through the PlanetJune shop, and they offer you all of my licencing perks (including unlimited downloads, free updates, customer support whenever you need it, etc - see 'Pattern Licence Information', below).
Your PlanetJune account gives you unlimited access to all your PlanetJune pattern purchases, in case you ever need to download another copy, or if there's an update to the pattern. If you don't already have a PlanetJune account using the email address you use for your Etsy account, I'll create one for you using that email (UNLESS you request the account be created with a different email address and/or as a gift - please see my shop's Frequently Asked Questions for gifting instructions).
PLANETJUNE QUALITY
All PlanetJune patterns include detailed written descriptions and crochet instructions together with clear step-by-step photos to demonstrate assembly and any special techniques or other potentially confusing parts. PlanetJune patterns are available in English language only, using standard (US) crochet terminology. Take a look at some examples of my pattern style and quality:

CANADIANS - PLEASE READ!
Please note that due to Etsy's policies for tax-registered Canadian sellers, the price you see when you order from PlanetJune via Etsy is GST/HST *inclusive*. The price may seem high because, unlike most other Etsy items, you will not be charged additional GST/HST at checkout on any PlanetJune items. I know this is confusing, so please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions about this (or anything else) - I'm always happy to help.
