Fuzzy Lovey Blanket Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Fuzzy Lovey Blanket Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

This lovely Blanket is made to fit any premade stuffed

 animal or toy. I designed this Blanket a few years ago

 and the yarn I used is no longer available, so we decided

 to update the pattern with lots of new pictures, 

and a Brand New Video.

I love this blanket So much, because you can customize

 it for any child's room or favorite animal. And it Stitches

 up quickly since we use a Super Bulky (6) Yarn

 and an N /9 MM Crochet Hook. The blanket is nice

 size for cuddling and snuggling.

The Yarn I chose to update this Crochet pattern is

 from Mainstay, which is a Walmart Brand. It is a

 Chenille yarn called  Chenille Heathered Yarn and

 the colorway is called Multi Pastel. It is a 100% Polyester 

and is machine washable.

The Term refers to yarn that is medium weight according to American yarn standards.

Which is the thickness of the yarn.

It is usually 10 ply.
