Crochet lovies have really stolen my heart lately. They’re the perfect mix of toy and blanket, plus they’re super quick to make. This week, I shared a free crochet pattern for a hippo lovey over on Underground Crafter and today, Marie’s here to share some more great lovey free crochet patterns. I’ll let her take it away from here!

Thanks so much for inviting me, Shehla! If we haven’t met me yet, I’m Marie Segares from Underground Crafter. I share free crochet and knitting patterns, sewing and Cricut tutorials, and all types of crafty inspiration on my blog. You may be wondering about the Underground Crafter name. I’m not part of a secret society of crafters (though that would be pretty cool), but I do like to crochet and knit underground on the during my commute on the subways of New York City.

Lovies make really fun gifts for babies, infants, toddlers, and even for school-aged kids! They are smaller to make than a traditional baby blanket (yay to last-minute gifts!) and they have a bit more personality for the child to play with. I’m sharing a collection of free crochet patterns for critter lovies. I hope you find some inspiration for your next gift! Images are © the respective designers and are used with permission.
