Baby Doll Lovey - kp1114

Discover the perfect gift for baby showers and welcoming new babies with the HugKnits Baby blanket! This delightful creation not only provides all the softness and comfort of a cherished blanket, but its compact size makes it easy for little ones to carry around wherever they go. Mommies will adore this multifunctional item as it offers not just warmth but also a comforting companion for their little ones.

The HugKnits Baby blanket features a creatively designed head that is hollow, allowing it to double as a puppet—this innovative feature transforms it into a fantastic distraction tool for fussy or bored babies, making it a must-have for any nursery. Whether it’s playtime or cuddle time, this adorable blanket will keep babies entertained and comforted.

The blanket portion is expertly knit flat using garter stitch, providing excellent tactile stimulation for young fingers, while the head is knitted in the round for added structure. The pattern requires worsted weight yarn, so be sure to select washable materials for easy care. You’ll need approximately 200 yards of spring green yarn, 90 yards of flesh tone, along with some scraps for eye and lip color, and 2 yards of contrasting waste yarn. This pattern is designed for intermediate knitters and requires familiarity with techniques like Kitchener Stitch and Duplicate Stitch, making it a fun challenge for those looking to enhance their skills. Additionally, an optional crochet lace trim adds a beautiful finishing touch.

For an added touch of cuteness, cheeks can be tinted using non-toxic beeswax crayon, giving your creation a warm, lifelike appeal. And don’t worry if you encounter any difficulties while knitting; our dedicated pattern support team is just an email away to provide assistance!
