I came across 'lovey blankets' on Pinterest. It's a variation of amigarumi, an animal head with a small blanket attached, meant for a baby to cuddle. I've seen rabbits and sheep and various other animals, but since I live in Africa, I've chosen an elephant as more iconic! The pattern is here. I gave him a hat rather than a flower because he's to go to a little boy. The yarn is cotton, easily washable. It's a fun make.
Adorable! My youngest daughter has made those for her children using a granny square pattern. The kids love them!
ReplyDeleteSo cute !!! I'm a bit confused - does the blanket wrap around the child doubled up, or ..? Better go Google some images ...
ReplyDeleteNo it’s just a little thing to cuddle. I need something to show scale, clearly.
DeleteI’d love a lovey blanket like that!!!! When will I grow up?
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love elephants so for a girl it would be great too, maybe with the flower you were talking about?? ;)
Absolutely. The pattern shows a flower behind the ear.
DeleteWhat a sweet little creature! He's a lucky little boy.
