Freddy The Fawn Baby Lovey – The Perfect Baby Shower Gift
I used the hexagon motif to create the white spots a deer would have on its back, and it almost looks like white snowflakes. How cute is that?
If you want to make it even more Christmassy, sew a red nose on it instead of the dark brown used in the pattern.

Freddy The Fawn Baby Lovey – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I am stuck on this pattern, can you help?
Every pattern you purchase from my shop comes with help and support. I will help you get unstuck and finish your project, so you can buy with confidence and try something new.
If you are completely new to crocheting, I recommend starting with beginner patterns and building up your confidence, pay attention to the skill level of my patterns and buy only if you are already at that level.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t contact me if there is a mistake or something unclear with this pattern, it simply means that you will need to learn the stitches, and the techniques, and learn how to read a pattern on your own.
You can contact me by messaging me on my Facebook page, Crafting Happiness, or by messaging me on Instagram.
Can I crochet this blanket using Aran yarn (worsted yarn #4)?
Yes, you can! The body parts will come out a little larger than my own, but still, in the same shape, use a smaller hook than recommended for Aran yarn to keep the size smaller. The blanket can be adjusted by simply crocheting more rounds.
Do I have to use the same yarn brand as you to get the same result?
No, you don’t. You can use any brand you like but pay attention to the yardage, different brands have different yardage. Here is a list of alternative yarns I recommend.
Can I change the size of the blanket?
Yes, you can. Each pattern can be adjusted by simply changing the number of rounds you make.
Can I sell items made with your pattern?
Yes, you can. Please check the copyright section for more details.

Hi…I was wondering where the 3 in 1 Woodland Baby Blanket pattern was. When I click the link it brings me back to this same page. I was hoping to see the set. Thank you so much 🙂

Hi, the 3in1 doesn’t refer to a set of 3 items, it refers to the fact that this blanket can be used 3 ways: baby blanket, playmat & decoration/toy. So you are in the right place,

Such a cute pattern! Are the safety eyes really 1.2mm? Or am I reading that incorrectly.
