Pattern Notes

First, you’ll work the pattern from the center by repeating the four rows. The clusters will grow with each 4-row repeat. Second, always count the beginning ch3 as the first dc. Finally, you complete the row with the slip stitch into the beginning chain.

Foundation Row

Ch 7 and sl st into the first ch forming a circle.

Row Instructions

Row 1

ch 3, 19 dc into the circle, sl st into the beginning ch 3 (20 dc stitches).

Finished Size

As a result, the finished size of this crochet lovey is 12″ x 12″.

Summary

While the instruction may seem complicated at first glance, you’ll get the pattern quickly. After the first repeat of these four rows, you wouldn’t need instructions. In brief, you will be making:

• A foundation row
• dc row (10 dc into each ch7 sp)
• Another dc row (10 dc into each dc)
• dc+ch1 row

As can be seen, the finished lovey consists of 3 repeats of these four rows. While three repeats are enough for a baby lovey, you can create a bigger baby blanket.

Of course, when you master this viral crochet pattern, you can create any size blanket. However, crochet baby lovey is a great start.

Furthermore, it is a quick one-skein project that you can finish in a few hours. After all, it is important when you are in a hurry to have a handmade gift for a baby shower.
