Loveys (also known as security blankets) are perfect for little ones! Part stuffed animal and part blanket, they give comfort and love to anyone who snuggles them. This Triceratops Lovey is no exception-- with stuffed parts on the triceratops and braided-looking knots on the blanket, this lovey is great for little hands to grab, play, and snuggle.

To make this lovey, you’ll need:

• Aran or Worsted weight yarn in three colors (sample was created with Red Heart “With Love” in Lettuce and True Blue; and Lion Brand’s “Vanna’s Choice” in Mustard)
• ’G’ and ‘I’ hook
• Stitch marker
• Fiberfill
• Tapestry needle

This is an advanced beginner- to intermediate- skill level pattern; there are color changes, increasing, decreasing, and attaching parts. The pattern gives progress photos and explains the steps clearly, so lots of help is given along the way!
