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.
Flower Freeze Pop Holder Crochet Pattern

This Flower Freeze Pop Cozy / Holder is a great stash-busting project as it uses such a small amount of yarn. It's also a quick make as you can make it in 30 - 45 min. And it's a wonderful and practical summer crochet pattern for children that will actually get used!
Lamb Squish
The Lamb Squish is a sheepy, wooly, and very squishy, free crochet pattern on Moogly! Perfect for spring, Easter, or any lamb, sheep, or farm lover - you'll love just how fast it is to make with Bernat yarns! Just like all the Squishes on Moogly, you can fill the Lamb Squish with a microbead pillow ball, or you can use Fiberfill. But this time I've used yet another option I found - a 10” Fairfield Pillow Ball! I'm so excited to have yet another choice for these patterns! And the yarn has a lot to do with the squishiness for this one too! I've used Bernat Sheepy for the gorgeous look and feel of the body, and then the details are made with a skein of Bernat Blanket O’Go - just one has all the extra colors needed!
