Techniques Used In This Pattern

The Kitty Lovey crochet pattern is an easy project for everyone who knows simple amigurumi techniques and basic crochet stitches. The cat parts are worked in continuous rounds, so if you want to keep your stitch count correct, it’s best to use stitch markers.

As for the star-shaped blanket, you will be crocheting it in the round with double crochets and cluster V-stitches. Prepare also to do some colorwork by changing between three accent colors and white stripes.

Ideas to Personalize Your Kitty Lovey

You can customize your handmade baby lovey in multiple ways. First of all, play around with different color combinations. I know the sample shown in the photo looks incredibly cute, but I’m sure your creativity will let you create equally adorable looks.

Looking for a gift for a baby boy? No problem! If you want to give your security blanket a more neutral style, switch the color palette for blues, greens, and greys and remove the eye-lashes and a bow appliqué.
