Thank you so much for checking out my Willow the Witch lovey crochet pattern. You can access the free pattern from my website here, and you can also download the free PDF pattern by signing up to my newsletter via the same link.

The PDF pattern also includes a lot of photo tutorials for assembly, the bobble stitch, and also embroidery. However, these photo tutorials are at the end of the pattern so they don’t get in the way for any advanced crocheters.
