Crochet a super cute Sleepy Puppy Lovey using this free crochet pattern by Nea Creates! The pattern is easy and works up quickly! #freecrochetpattern

Notes: This pattern is written in English, US crochet terminology and SI units are used throughout. I use a smaller hook size than the yarn calls for to get tighter stitches in head, ears & nose. Head, ears & nose are crocheted in continuous rounds, the blanket is crocheted in closed rounds. All measurements are approximate & will vary with your yarn & tension.

Difficulty: Intermediate

Size: 27cm from head to the edge of the blanket & 44cm between two opposite corners of the blanket.
