This is my little Mary lamb lovey pattern. One of my most popular patterns of all time. It’s so adorable and easy for a child to hold and carry. This baby crocheted 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.
