Description
🧸 Aussie Baby Crochet Vol 1 — 12 original crochet patterns (PDF, 40 pages).
Twelve sleepy Aussie faces to crochet as loveys — a small stuffed crocheted animal head with embroidered closed eyes, sewn to the centre of a soft little blanket a baby can bunch, hold and cuddle, from our Aussie family shop. Every animal is one of Australia's own, worked in soft pastel baby colours: an Australia-first nursery set for Aussie babies, Australia-loving families, and anyone gifting down-under style. Every face is EMBROIDERED — there are no safety eyes, no buttons and no detachable small parts on any lovey in this book, by design, and the patterns say so at every step.
This collection includes 12 original patterns: Koala Lovey (soft grey head on a mint blanket), Kangaroo Lovey (rust head, butter-yellow blanket), Wombat Lovey (mid-brown head, wide nose, blush blanket), Quokka Lovey (honey-tan head, pink cheeks, sky-blue blanket), Platypus Lovey (mid-brown head, flat bill, lilac blanket), Echidna Lovey (dark-brown head, soft cream spikes, peach blanket), Kookaburra Lovey (cream head, brown stripe, long beak, sage blanket), Cockatoo Lovey (white head, yellow crest, lemon blanket), Wallaby Lovey (ash-grey head, aqua blanket), Bilby Lovey (grey head, very long ears, rose blanket), Tasmanian Devil Lovey (charcoal head, white blaze, coral blanket) and Emu Lovey (mid-brown head, crown spikes, periwinkle blanket). Blanket about 30 x 30 cm (12 x 12 in); head about 9 cm (3.5 in) across.
Each of the 12 patterns includes:
• Its own dedicated solo photo — every lovey photographed individually, no repeats
• Pattern-at-a-glance box (type, honest finished size from the stated gauge, pieces, yarn, level)
• Full round-by-round instructions in US crochet terms ONLY, with the stitch count stated at the end of EVERY round and row (396 counted rounds and rows in this book)
• The pack's shared construction: a stuffed sphere head (magic ring, increase ladder, plain rounds, mirror decreases), the animal's own ears, muzzle, beak or spikes, two small arms, and one flat blanket square with a fully counted border round
• Step-by-step assembly with the head sewn to the blanket centre in two passes, plus a maker's tip for every lovey
• The baby-safety rule in every pattern: embroidered features ONLY — no safety eyes, no buttons, nothing detachable
Crochet one lovey as a weekend baby-shower gift, work through the set for twins and nursery gifts, or make the whole dozen as a handmade Australia-themed collection — a koala for the grandbaby overseas, a quokka for the friend who collects smiles, a bilby for an Aussie Easter. The animals are Australia's favourites — koalas, kangaroos, wombats, quokkas, platypuses, echidnas, kookaburras, cockatoos, wallabies, bilbies, Tassie devils and emus — and Aussie makers and Australia-lovers alike will recognise every sleepy face. Soft DK / light-worsted baby yarn, a 3.5 mm (US E-4) hook and a little fibre fill are all you need.
Skill level: Confident beginner. If you can work a magic ring, single crochet, increases and decreases, you can make these loveys.
