crochet whirly bird blanket pattern

Hook up your own Whirly Bird Blanket blanket using the yarn and the colors of your choice. Pattern is given in both numerical notation and a graph is included as well. Blankets featured were hooked by my fabulous tester Kim @musingsofamentalbutterfly (see photos for additional credit into). This pattern can be worked with any weight yarn. This pattern can be increased in multiples of 71 stitches across and 22 rows up to make any size blanket.

• This pattern can be worked with any weight yarn and gauge is not important.
• Yarn amounts are given for the baby sized blanket pictured using DK weight yarn with a finished size of approximately 30x40 inches.
• This pattern can be increased in multiples of 46 more stitches across and 21 rows up to make any size blanket. 
• I recommend making a swatch (one full graph picture) in your desired yarn and then measure and decide how many repeats you need to get the blanket size you want.
