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.

Snowman Lovey
Crochet a comforting Snowman Lovey for a special little one. A star shaped comforter blanket with a plush snowman attachment. To make this extra snuggly, I have used fluffy chenille-style yarn, but it could be made using plain yarn as well. You can also use different weight yarn, eg. #4 Worsted or #3 DK, instead. Just make sure you keep to the same yarn weight for all the colours. Use the hook size recommended for the yarn for the blankey and half a size smaller for the snowman. Please note that this will reduce the finished size of your lovey.
Little Miss Flower Crochet Baby Booties
Parents of newborn girls will love these Little Miss Flower Crochet Booties. There is no better material for tiny feet than the soft, warm texture of yarn. The tiny pink rosebuds circling the ankles have delightful detail and look fresh against the white background of the rest of the dainty little shoe. This pattern just shouts sugar and spice and everything nice, especially on a little pair of feet. These crochet baby booties would make great baby shower gifts, and you can work up a matching blanket to boot. The intermediate level of these booties will give crochet regulars a chance to showcase their skills.
