Freddy The Fawn Baby Lovey Crochet Pattern

Freddy the Faun Baby Deer Lovey it’s a quick and easy to make security blanket that compliments perfectly the 3in1 Woodland Deer Baby Blanket and creates a perfect matching set for a baby’s nursery.

Need a last minute Christmas gift? This adorable deer lovey takes just a couple of days to make and does not require a lot of yarn thanks to the granny hexagon pattern used to make it.

This baby deer lovey is made in warm shades of brown and cream and will make a wonderful gender neutral present for any little boy or girl.

Do you already know this pattern and just want to buy it?

You can find the affordable, large print, PDF pattern for this adorable deer baby security blanket on Ravelry or Etsy.

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.
