Tiger Blanket

This blanket started off as a project for one of my students who wanted to make a Tiger for her son.  I asked if she had a pattern in mind and she said "I thought you could design me one" - as they do! This is the result.

As she is a relatively new beginner to crochet, it was designed to be easy but also to teach new stitches and techniques.
