The Miss Mouse Lovey blanket makes a wonderful baby gift and is easy enough for a beginner to make. It's simply made of four 12" granny squares, seamed together. And then a conical-shaped mouse head is crocheted, stuffed with fibrefill and sewed to the middle of the blanket. It just takes one ball of Bernat Pop! yarn in your choice of colour. This is a blanket that a child will treasure for years to come.

Adjustable Freeze Pop Sleeve
It's sunny, hot, and time for a popsicle (or an ice pop, a freeze pop, an ice lolly; whatever you want to call them)! If you have kids, or you frequently participate in craft shows, this is probably the best stash busting crochet pattern out there. This adjustable freeze pop sleeve is a quick and easy crochet pattern to make plus it sells like hotcakes at craft fairs! It only takes about 15 minutes to make! This is a great stash busting project so all you need is a small amount of medium weight yarn. I suggest that the fiber content be either cotton or acrylic. You will also need a 4mm crochet hook.

This pattern is for sizes 12 months - 12 years and is beginner friendly. It can be worked up quickly using chunky yarn and the pattern is simple and easy to follow written in US terms.

The front lapels and hood will be oversized and will drape for comfort and ease.
