If you’re searching for a special gift for a teething baby, consider a crochet lovey blanket with the teething ring attached! This cozy and comforting blanket is not only soft and snuggly, it also provides a teething solution for your little one.

The Teething Ring Lovey Blanket makes the perfect stash busting project because you can choose any appropriate worsted weight yarn you might already have. The soft and cozy blanket can help soothe babies during stressful times and become a comforting object, providing a sense of security and familiarity. Be sure to choose a soft, durable, baby friendly yarn for your lovey blanket!

The star of the show is the corner to corner granny stitch.

It’s an interesting, easy-to-work variation of the traditional granny stitch that can easily be adapted and customized.

In corner to corner (C2C) crochet, the project is worked diagonally from corner to corner instead of back and forth horizontally. In the granny stitch version of C2C, the granny stitch (3 dc in the same sp) replaces the traditional blocks of (ch 3, 3 dc). However, the C2C concept - decreasing or increasing at the ends of the row - is the same.

Yarn: Any worsted weight yarn that’s safe and appropriate for babies - makes a great stash busting project
Hook: US size I-9 (5.5mm)
Also needed: 2.5-3” teething ring, plastic or wooden, safe and appropriate for babies

Stitches used: chain, single crochet, double crochet
Skill level: Confident beginner - some experience with corner to corner crochet would be helpful

The PDF includes detailed written instructions and access to videos to learn increases and decreases in C2C granny stitch.
