Emily - A Crochet Lovey

"What’s cute, fun to make and perfect for your favorite little in the world? Why this adorable Crochet Princess Lovey, of course! Meet Emily, this ever so cute lovey. I can’t decide what I love best. Her absolutely fun hair style or her beautiful, fun to crochet dress! Sigh! The hair on this crochet princess lovey is unique and different from the usual wig cap. The head is worked from the bottom up, inserting the eyes and stuffing as you go. After the final row, you’ll gather up the last 6 stitches, but instead of closing off, you’ll insert hair bundles. It may sound untraditional and complicated, but it’s actually really fun to see it all come together. All in all a very fun crochet lovey blanket, perfect for gift giving!"
