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
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.
Just a quick post to share a new child’s granny lovey. This lovey is crocheted using a granny stitch and features a yellow store-bought stuffed dog for the toy. The granny lovey is started around a stretchy hair tie with a stuffed animal inserted through the center hole.
You can find more pictures and pattern instructions at my original granny lovey post here.
Here is one more photo showing the granny lovey more closeup.
I am excited to present a new baby lovey that features a round ripple pattern. It has a centerhole which is created by crocheting around a thick ponytail hair tie. By crocheting the baby lovey with a centerhole, you can use a store-bought stuffed animal for the project. That way you can wash the round ripple lovey separate from the stuffed animal.
Here is the lovey with the stuffed animal removed so you can see how it looks separated.
Here is another round ripple lovey that I crocheted using the same round ripple idea for the project.
I want to detail how I start my round ripple lovies. I use a 2″ thick ponytail tie for the center and it gives a 1.75″ opening on 24 stitches. Here is a photo with the first round of single crochet (SC) stitches around the ponytail hair tie. I work 24 stitches around the tie as show and slip stitch to join.
My round ripple baby lovey is based off of Aggie May’s round ripple (RR) blanket pattern. After the 24 single crochet stitches for the center start, and following Aggie May’s RR pattern, work row 3: Ch 3, 1 DC, ch-2, 2 DC in same stitch as join. Then skip 1 stitch and work 2 DC, ch-2, 2 DC in next stitch and repeat. Join to top of ch 3. Total of 12 sets of shells. See photo below for a closeup photo of this round.
Babypoohsmom from Crochetville shared with me her crocheted baby lovey or lovie, using a store-bought stuffed animal. You crochet the lovey separate with a hole in the center for the stuffed animal. This way the lovey can be washed without the stuffed animal if necessary.
Using a ponytail hair tie, you crochet around the tie with 36 stitches. I used a H (5 mm) crochet hook for my baby granny stitch lovey. The pattern used is based off this YouTube video.
This is a Dollar Store bear that is about 5 inches tall. You can use any type of stuffed animal that you can fit into the center hole. I am planning on recycling some stuffies that I find in gently used condition for future projects.
I did 3 rounds of double crochet (DC) in the same brown color as the base row around the hair tie. Then 3 rounds in cream, 3 rounds in brown, 1 round in cream, 1 round in berry red, 1 round in cream again followed by 1 round of SC in cream yarn for trim. Finished size of the lovey is 15 inches wide.
I do my granny stitch start corners a little different. For granny corner start I chain 3,
