Security blanket, crochet loveys, comforter – whatever you call it, it’s one of the coolest crocheted toys for babies. Little blanket with half of an amigurumi toy is both easy to make and fun to play with. As a designer, you can really let your imagination speak here, because there are as many versions as there are creative minds who crochet.
If you are a beginner and want to learn basic amigurumi techniques, lovey is a great way to start, especially if you find step-by-step instructions on how to make it. Just remember that embroidery is always a safer choice than plastic safety eyes. Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
