Here is a granny stitch baby lovey that I crocheted for the local Hospital. This will be given to a child who may be in need of a lovey for comfort while they are in the Hospital.
This lovey is crocheted with a center hole that has a store-bought stuffed animal toy placed in the middle. They are handy as you can pulled out the stuffed animal and the lovey blanket portion can be washed when needed.
The pattern is based upon this video link of the Zee’s lovey pattern.
Using a H ( 5 mm) crochet hook, I chained 36 SC around ponytail hair band with Red Heart raspberry (pink) yarn. Then 3 rows in raspberry in granny stitches as shown in the video. Then 3 rows of white yarn, 3 rows raspberry, 5 rows of white, the 1 row of raspberry. To finish with white yarn, 1 row of white grannies, the 1 row on Scs with 2 SC in corners.
Here is a closeup photo showing the Birdie Lovey.
A few years ago I posted a free basic cabled hat pattern for adults. Its a quick and easy pattern to crochet. I decided I needed a child’s size hat for an upcoming gift. So I downsized that original crochet pattern and created two different sizes. One for a baby (1+ years old) and another for more of a toddler’s size (2-3+ years old).
The free pattern is below and you can always go up or down a hook size to adjust for a different child’s head size as needed. Enjoy and happy crocheting!
Child’s Simple Cabled Hat Pattern
H (5 mm) crochet hook = 1 year old baby (16” cir by 7.5” long) for baby hat
or 18” cir by 8” long for child size 2-3 year old
Yarn – 2 ounces worsted weight (medium) 4-ply (100-110 yards) baby; 2.4 ounces (120-130 yards) child
Note: Ch 2 at beg of each round counts as DC.
Ch 56 for baby hat or Ch 60 for child size. Join to make a ring and making sure your chain is not twisted.
(You will be working in the round and not turning your work as you crochet this hat.)

Ch 1, Sc into the 2nd bump loop in the back of the chain to create a smooth edge.
