Rainbows have become a symbol of hope during isolation and people are placing them on their porches and in their windows to show solidarity during the COVID Crisis. This is a pretty design that would look lovely in the house long after Covid is over. Add it to a bright babies nursery or hang them from your porch. You can see the full Rainbow pattern here.
I recently had the pleasure of working on the Bubbles the Turtle Lovey Crochet Pattern, and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed. This sweet and cuddly turtle is the perfect companion for any little one. His playful and energetic personality is sure to bring a smile to any child’s face, and his soft and snuggly body is perfect for cuddling and napping.
One of the things that I particularly loved about this pattern is that it is budget-friendly. You can use up your yarn scraps to create an adorable snuggle blanket that is both unique and special. The pattern calls for either DK-weight or worsted weight yarn and US sizes E/3.5 mm and G/4.25 mm crochet hooks, so you have plenty of options when it comes to choosing your materials. The finished size is 14 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ (DK-weight) or 15 3/4″ x 10 1/2″ (worsted), making it the perfect size for a little one to hold and cuddle.
But what exactly is a lovey, you might ask? A lovey is a small blanket or stuffed animal that a child becomes attached to and uses for comfort and security. They are often used as a transitional object to help a child feel safe and secure when away from their primary caregivers. Loveys can be an especially helpful tool for children who are anxious or going through a major life change, such as starting daycare or moving to a new home.
In short, I highly recommend the Bubbles the Turtle Lovey Crochet Pattern. It’s a fun and budget-friendly project that is sure to bring joy and comfort to any little one. Whether you’re a seasoned crocheter or just starting out.
