This knitting pattern is designed for chunky or jumbo chenille yarn and is ideal for creating a soft, cozy blanket inspired by Max the dog from the Grinch story. The design features a small brown dog with a single antler detail, making it a recognizable and playful handmade project.

Worked in stockinette stitch using intarsia colorwork, this graphghan blanket adds a decorative accent to any space, including a nursery, bedroom, or living area. Suitable for both children and adults, it fits well into holiday-themed or cozy interiors.

The pattern includes a chart, row-by-row written instructions, and color block guidance for easier knitting. It can be made using hand knitting, arm knitting, or finger knitting techniques and works well with plush jumbo yarn. This beginner-friendly pattern is suitable for creating a soft blanket with a festive character design.

The final size of your blanket will depend on the yarn and needle size, loom, or finger knitting technique you choose, and may vary depending on your knitting tension. Tighter stitches will result in a shorter blanket. Below are approximate sizes for some yarn options.
