Just a quick post to share a new child’s granny lovey. This lovey is crocheted using a granny stitch and features a yellow store-bought stuffed dog for the toy. The granny lovey is started around a stretchy hair tie with a stuffed animal inserted through the center hole.

You can find more pictures and pattern instructions at my original granny lovey post here.

Here is one more photo showing the granny lovey more closeup. It’s hard to photograph it flat with the stuffed animal inside the center. But it does lay flat when the stuffed animal is removed.

These crocheted center hole lovies are very easy to make and work up quickly. The stuffed animals for the centers can be purchased at a Dollar Store or recycle a gently used stuff animal for the lovey.
