Bluey Granny Free Pattern Add-On

I’m so excited to share this granny add-on for my Bluey-Inspired crochet pattern, and hope you love it as much as I do!

First things first, you’ll need the base pattern which you can find at your preferred link if you don’t already have it: Website Direct / Ravelry / Ribblr

Once you have the pattern you can continue on!

Materials

Yarn – The pattern is made for DK weight yarn, but being amigurumi, gauge isn’t super important, and you can easily switch it out for a different weight. Just make sure all the yarn used is the same weight (including the yarn you use for the base Bluey pattern) and it should still work.
- Colour A: Main blanket colour
- Colour B: Blanket trim colour (at the bottom)
2.75mm crochet hook to keep the stitches nice and tight. Depending on your yarn you may need to go up or down sizes to match (again, just use the same as for the Bluey base)
Marker to keep track of rounds (I use an extra little piece of yarn)
Yarn needle (or smaller if you prefer to attach pieces with thread), scissors, general etc.

Notes

You’ll need to make and assemble the Bluey pattern body, nose, tail, and legs to begin with. Feel free to skip the colour changes for Bluey’s back and stomach — you won’t see those! No need to create the arms and ears for this version as they won’t fit under the blanket. Make sure not too stuff the body tooo firmly.
This pattern is primarily made in the round and in both loops, though there is a section where you work back to front instead.
Important RE Colour Changes! This is not written into every line of the pattern, but it is assumed: any time there is a colour change, the stitch before the colour change transitions into it by pulling the new colour through the two loops on the hook at the end of the stitch. The next stitch will then use the new colour.
Unlike my patterns for sale, this one hasn’t been professionally tested. If you find anything that’s not quite right, please let me know!

The Blanket/Granny Pattern

Not Bluey, but you get the idea when it comes to the ch slst across to the other side at R11 :)

In sections of the pattern that are turned, the additional ch1 at the end of the round is not counted in the stitch totals

R1. In Colour A: MC7 ( 7 )

R2. inc7 ( 14 )

R3. [ inc1, sc1 ] x7 ( 21 )

R5. sc21 ( 21 )

R6. sc21, ch1, turn ( 21 )

Working back to front instead of in the round now

R6. – R10. sc16, ch1, turn ( 16 )

R11. sc16, ch5, slst into the next stitch across the gap: this is the new row start depending on stuffing the ch6 may not reach or be too many – feel free to adjust to suit your Bluey, but keep in mind that the following stitch counts will need to be adjusted as well. Check to make sure Bluey fits in before continuing! Feel free to adjust the ch count if needed. ( 21 )

R12. – R17. sc21 ( 21 )

R18. sc8, Colour B: slst, sc12 ( 21 )

Leave a long tail of colour A before cutting that yarn off.

R19. sc21 ( 21 )

R20. sc9, slst, F/O and weave in end

Using the Colour A tail, stitch the blanket on roughly around where the blanket meets up again under the chin, as well as around the face so the blanket can’t be pulled back to reveal she has no ears!

The Glasses

Where would she be without her purple glasses? These are made in a single row, but I’ve broken it up into sections for readability.

Ch5, slst into second chain from hook, ch2, slst into second chain from hook, ch2, slst into second chain from hook, ch2, slst into the first ch of the row (creating a circle)

Ch3 (mark the third ch by pulling an extra piece of yarn through – we’ll come back to this ch later), ch4, slst into second chain from hook, ch2, slst into second chain from hook, ch2, slst into second chain from hook, ch2, slst into the chain with the marker in it — come at it from the back rather than the top so it matches the other side better.

F/O leaving a tail. Use tail to stitch glasses onto face, using pins to keep them in a circle shape as you stitch.
