I crocheted another round ripple lovey for the local hospital. This lovey is crocheted by chaining 24 single crochet stitches around a ponytail tie to start. This creates the hole for inserting a store bought animal.

I generally follow the round ripple pattern written by Aggie May to crochet the lovey. I crocheted 3 rounds in pink and then white yarn for 11 rounds. At round 12, I crocheted 2 rounds in pink, then one more double crochet (DC) round in white yarn. I finished with reverse single crochet (crab stitch) round in each stitch.

Finished crocheted lovey size is 21 inches wide.
