Just as the dove has long been a symbol of love and peace, this baby lovey pattern was designed with love; love for crochet; love for babies; love for birds; and love for gifts. This lovey dovey pattern combines all of those into one beautiful gift for the newest addition in your life. The title and idea was coined by my husband as I finished up a couple of other loveys for some baby relatives on the way.

Using single crochet to make the head, single, double, treble and picots to make the wings and tail, and and some whip stitches to bring it all together, this pattern should be sufficient for your advanced beginner and beyond.
