The squirrel has made it to the Woodland Afghan! It’s been tough picking only ten animals, but I needed a realistic goal for this blanket. I planned for this blanket to be finished by the time March rolls around, but here we are! It’s March! And this thing is still going! The squirrel is my seventh woodland themed granny square, and only THREE more to go!
I have been getting requests and messages about animals people would like to see appear on the afghan. I have my animals picked and set for the last three, but I’m thinking I may just have to visit this afghan in the near future to add additional squares that are most requested!
You can click here to see all of the woodland themed squares designed so far. And since you guys have been so supportive and sending so much love, I’m going to tell you the next three squares I will be designing. (And I’m a very impatient person, so I know I’d be giddy to know the last three animals to be designed). Ready? The next animals to accompany the other woodland themed squares will be a wolf, a bunny, and a deer. *claps*
So if you have been hoping for a certain animal that I haven’t already created or on my list to design, let me know! If an animal is requested enough, I will come back and design it for an extra square option.
Now that you all know the plan for the rest of the afghan, let’s get to the squirrel pattern!
As always, the pattern for the Granny Square is here where you will also find the running list of squares designed, what colors are needed for the base of the squares as well as what the overall pattern of the blanket will look like.

I made the fun fur optional mostly because I personally couldn’t find this particular color in stores anymore, and I only had it from my yarn stash.
The safety eyes on Amazon are the cheapest I have found. You can get them at the craft store for about $3 for 10 pieces, but on Amazon you can get 100 for only a little over $6. Definitely worth it if you make amigurumi, and you will also need several for this woodland afghan project.
Also, Clover hooks are amazing especially when working with smaller hook sizes. I listed the two hooks you will need for this project, but you can get a whole set of ten for about $40 – that is super cheap for these hooks!
