There’s something nostalgic about loveys and I love the idea that something handmade with love and care will become a special part of a little person’s life. The Berry Lovey is an intermediate pattern that uses squishy plush yarn. The design includes sweet elements like neck and arm ruffles that give it a distinctly cottagecore/vintage vibe.

This is an adventurous beginner pattern/intermediate pattern.

I used plush yarn and a 4mm hook. You could use thicker or thinner yarn, which would make your lovey bigger or smaller. You will also need to adjust your hook size.

Supplies:
130g plush yarn (I used Kismet Velvet Plush)
4mm crochet hook
Needle for sewing in ends
Stitch marker
Scissors
Stuffing
