Size And Dimensions

This lovey blanket is about 20″ square, crocheted from cotton yarn. The size of the bear head is about 5″ in diameter. With the pattern given, you may choose to crochet a different blanket if needed; simply make fewer rounds to make a smaller blanket and more rounds for a bigger blanket.

I intentionally designed this blanket to be larger than normal for some reason. A larger lovey blanket remains useful as the baby grows, accommodating their increasing size and needs, making it an enduring companion for the newborn. Additionally, it provides ample surface area for snuggling and comfort, promoting a sense of security and coziness for children. This blanket is not only a comfort object but also serves as a traditional blanket for warmth. Moreover, it can double as a stroller cover or a nursing lap blanket when needed. Lastly, this blanket size used up all 3 balls of yarn with a little leftover.

How could a cute and free crochet lovey pattern be any better than it already is? Well, how about if you make it into a puppet! Your new puppet lovey will go from a naptime companion to a playtime partner-in-crime as your little one grows. How sweet!

If you have never crocheted a lovey before, then do yourself a favor and try one out! They are such additively quick little projects, and it never hurts to have one ready just in case you get invited last-minute to a baby shower or birthday.

How to make the blanket bigger
