Looking for a soft baby gift? A gift that is soft but not too hard to make? This free crochet lovey pattern will be a great project to try.
This lovey only has 2 stitches, single crochet stitch and even berry stitch. It is a great beginner blanket. This chunky lovey blanket works up fast too.
Did you wonder, what to make with your left over Bernat Blanket Yarn? After I make this chunky gray stripe throw, I had a little yarn left over.
Try this mini lovey blanket. Don’t have babies? You can use it as a dust cloth too.
There are lots of different colors of Bernat blanket yarn, perfect for a little boy or girl. Most you can easily scale up for a throw too.
The yarn is a chenille style, so it is fuzzy. My little girl keeps wanting to rub her face against the blanket.
