What Yarn Gives The Baby Owl Lovey Its Soft And Cozy Feel?
The crochet baby loveys seen in the photos were made with Knit Picks Brava Worsted. It’s a soft 100% acrylic yarn and a popular choice for making baby items. It’s also available in a wonderful range of bright colors, so you can choose shades that match your nursery theme or baby’s gender.
Which Crochet Stitches Build The Blanket And Owl Details?
The pattern is classified as an intermediate project and requires you to know how to work stitches in rounds, change yarn colors, and work amigurumi elements. The blanket is made in 12 rounds using a traditional chevron pattern, including chains and double crochets.
Next, you will work up the owl’s head, beak, ears, eyes, and wings. All elements are done separately and then joined together.
Can I Adjust the Size of My Baby Owl Lovey?
Yes, you can. You can do it by switching to a larger hook. When made with a 5.5 mm crochet hook and worsted yarn, the blanket measures 19” from point to point. To make it bigger, use a 6 mm hook, and to make it smaller, go for a 5 mm hook. It’s a simple way to modify the final size of your toy without changing the pattern itself.
