You can choose any granny square pattern but here's what I've done
For today's creation, I've used the Linen stitch.
Part 1 : Make the tiny little snuggle blanket
You can choose any granny square pattern but here's what I've done
I've used (Indian) Oswal 4-ply yarn with a 3 mm crochet hook Start Row 1 : with as many odd number of fsc as you need for the width of your little lovey. Turn.
Single Crochet : Sc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (2 lps on hk); yo, draw through both lps. One sc made. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/ghACqBpA-3k Row 2 : sc in the 1st fsc ;
(ch 1, sk next fsc, sc in the next fsc) ;
rep (to) till the end. Turn
Row 3 : sc in the 1st sc ;
sc in the 1st ch-1 sp ;
(ch 1, sk next sc, sc in the next ch-1 sp) ;
rep (to) till the last ch-1 sp ;
sc in the last sc. Turn
Row 4 : sc in the 1st sc ;
(ch 1, sk next sc, sc in the next ch-1 sp) ;
rep (to) till the end. Turn
Rep Rows 3 & 4 till you get the size you want for your little lovey.
I finally ran a round of sc all around for a neat finish.
Remember to work 1 sc in each sc and 1 sc in each ch-1 sp ; working 3 sc in each corner for a neat turn and finish.
Now if you are using a multi colored yarn, you're good to go - but otherwise, look at these video tutorials on how to work with multiple colored yarns for a beautiful checkered effect.
Part 2 : Make the teddy bear stuff toy
With stuff toys, it is preferable to work in spirals without joining. Instead of using a marker, I prefer to add a contrast thread / yarn for the last/first stitch
This works for me.. Use whatever route that suits you to mark rounds and work in spirals
Get the pattern for the teddy bear amigurumi at https://www.amigurumiforum.com/free-amigurumi-crochet-bear-pattern-and-images/
What I've done is work only the happy bear's face and two feet and then attached it to my lovey
Finishing : Put them all together
Once you have finished the teddy bear stuff toy, all you need to do is attach it neatly to the centre of your lovey. You could choose to keep it at one corner as well. Then you take lovely photos of the child you have made this for and post it on social media.. remember to show me your work as well - I'm on FB and all my social media handles are right here at the bottom of this blog.
