However, I have decided to make it up myself and post it here. If anyone thinks that this counts as theft or is a violation of copyright please tell me and I will take it down. As I'm pretty new to blogging I don't know what's allowed and what's not but I really wanted to post this pattern because it's one of my favourites.
Difficulty:
Easy - Medium
Materials:
- green and white aran/ worsted weight yarn
- embroidery needle for sewing up
- Cream aran/ worsted weight yarn
- Black yarn for the eyes (alternatively you could use beads but this isn't so safe if you plan to give the blanket to small children
For the blanket:

Round 1: 2dc in each st, (change to white yarn) ss to 1st dc, ch2 (24dc)
Round 2: 2dc in first st, dc into next st, (change to green yarn) ss to 1st dc, ch2 (36dc)

Round 9: 2dc in first st, dc into next 8 sts, ss to 1st dc, fasten off (120dc)
Secure loose ends and weave them in, taking care to hide them as best as you can into the fabric.

There are many ways to change colours, but I think the best way to change colours here can be found if you follow this link:
Rounds 3-8: (6 rounds) Sc in each st
Round 9: (Sc2tog, sc 3) rep twice
Round 10: (Sc2tog, sc 2) rep twice
Ss and fasten off
Sew the head to the frill, then sew the head/ frill to the centre of the blanket. Sew the arms on underneath and finally embroider the eyes on using the black yarn.
