Leo the Lovey is my way to honor one of my favorite childhood books: Leo the Lop. This lop will bring love to any child! I wanted to make a corner lovey, and decided to go with a bunny. As I was making the ears, I thought of Leo the Lop and just knew I had to make the bunny lop-eared and name it Leo the Lovey. The blanket features a center of reversible Jacob’s Ladder stitch, with a border of linen stitch.
