Answer

Animal Baby Blanket
Hi Elaine,
I searched the internet but cannot find your pattern.

I went through all my baby patterns last night and I found the one I had made for my nephew in 1974.  It's not the same number you are looking for.  However, it is made in 5 panels with apghan and filet crochet.  Animals are cross stitched onto the squares formed.
I'm attaching it to this e-mail.

Please let me know what you think.

Expertise

Traditional Crochet and Filet Crochet (not clothes) I do more thread crochet than yarn.

Experience

I have been crocheting for over 50 years. As a child growing up in New Orleans, LA, I had aunts and older cousins who taught me, but now they are all gone and sadly, there is no one who crochets in my area. I hope to be able to meet fellow crocheters through this website, and I'd be delighted if I could help someone answer a question. I'm sure I'll be asking my share, also. I specifically enjoy doilies and afghans. I really like designing filet crochet. I don't make clothes, other than hats and scarves.

Education/Credentials
I learned as a child in the 50's from aunts and older cousins.
