FREE crochet pattern - Baby lovey, Swan
This is my sleeping swan lovey pattern. It's so adorable and easy for a child to hold and carry. This crocheted baby comforter will help the child feel secure and beloved. And makes for some super cute baby photos! It's made with a super soft chenille yarn and cotton yarn.
If you love crocheting loveys and comfort blankets as much as I do, I suggest you have a look at some of my other free lovey patterns!
Have fun crocheting and I would love it so much if you would pin this post or share it on facebook! It would mean the world to me!
