This floppy little lovey doll is sure to be a hit with your little one. It starts with a 5-sided granny square with a star in the center of the belly and works out from there. In just about 3 hours you’ll have your doll finished and ready to go! As you know, a lovey doll’s body is not stuffed, leaving it to flop and cuddle with ease. The head is stuffed firmly. So many color options, what will you choose?

Size
Gauge is not important to this pattern. The size of your finished products will vary depending on the size yarn and hooks you use. Made with the materials listed, the doll measures about 10 inches, not including the tufts at the top of the hat.

Pattern Notes
The pattern is written for advanced beginner crocheters and beyond (mainly because of the type of terminology used). The advanced beginner is familiar with making amigurumi and understands basic amigurumi crochet terminology and stitches as well as how to sew pieces together, finish off, hide ends, etc. If you are not familiar with all the terms used in this pattern, there are a multitude of tutorials on You Tube that can help. Also feel free to contact me with any questions. I’ll be glad to help in any way I can.
