Syracuse Blanket Pattern Single Crochet SC is a bold tapestry crochet design featuring the Syracuse University mascot, Otto the Orange, in a sporty collegiate style composition. The pattern is created using colorwork and pixel-style shaping to deliver a strong graphic result suitable for fan-inspired crochet projects.
Worked in SC single crochet, this tapestry crochet pattern uses structured colorwork instructions to guide each row clearly and accurately. The design can be made as an afghan, lapghan, throw, graphgan, or stroller blanket depending on yarn choice and finished size. The chart-based format ensures precise stitch placement and clean definition of the mascot details, including facial features, hat, and lettering.
The theme focuses on Syracuse University sports culture, mascot design, and bold orange and navy branding. It highlights Otto the Orange, university spirit, and athletic identity, making it suitable for fans, alumni, and sports themed crochet collections.

Finished 80″x90″ design uses 3 colours (Blue, Red, and White), and the pattern consists of a 56-page PDF that includes full-colour charts (16-page format), written row-by-row instructions, and a detailed colour block guide.
