Animal Blankets

A friend of mine has an animal blanket for one of her kids and it has turned out to be his absolute favorite thing ever. Derek got one from a co-worker of Devin's and he has loved it as well. So with my good friend Shilo's baby shower coming up, I decided to try my hand at making a matching set for her twins. Here is how they turned out.
The polka dot part is minky and the brown is silky. You could make your own animal heads, but I just cut the tops off some stuffed animals. It was easier. :) You can find the pattern here, although you could probably figure it out without one. For another variation you could make them like this...
This is Derek's dog and he loves it.
It was fun to make something different than my usual shower gift. Hopefully her little kiddos will enjoy these as much as Derek has liked his.
