Crochet Tutorial: Mini Square Bunny Lovey

Crochet Tutorial: Mini Square Bunny Lovey

In the third part of all things baby week, I bring you the Mini Square Bunny Lovey! In keeping with the Granny Square theme (See 365 Days of Granny Squares project), I’ve created this cute little lovey to match the shoes, dress, and hat.

Outer part of granny square:
Row 1: In any corner of the mini granny square, ch 3, 2 dc in same sp; ch 1, 3dc in next ch 1 sp, ch 1, *[3dc, ch 2, 3dc] in corner, ch 1 sp, 3 dc in next corner. Ch 4, turn

Repeat the same concept of row 2 and row 3 until you make your square big enough. End on an odd row. I ended mine on row 7.

Once you have all 4 squares complete and as big as you want them to be, single crochet them together then continue on to the border.

Border of lovey:

Dc in the single crochet from the meeting (see video tutorial for visual instructions), then continue working [3dc, ch 1] in each sp. (Corner: 3dc, ch 2, 3dc), work this pattern all the way around.

Rnd 2: In any ch 1 sp, ch 1, sc in same sp, *7dc in next ch 1 sp, sc in next ch 1 sp, repeat from * around.
