Spotty The Giraffe Lovey Crochet Pattern
Spotty The Giraffe Lovey – Crochet Pattern by Crafting Happiness
Meet Spotty The Giraffe Lovey, the cute little brother of the Giraffe Baby Blanket! It is created to match the 3in1 baby blanket’s style and color.
This octagon security baby blanket pattern is made with the granny stitch in the round and has a simple construction that’s perfect for beginners.
It only consists of 8 parts and doesn’t require intricate colorwork because of its two-tone color scheme. I used yellow and brown to make mine, but feel free to play around and try out fun shades that will fit your preference and needs.

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.
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 DK Yarn (Light Worsted Yarn #3)?
Yes, you can! The body parts will come out a little smaller than my own, but still in the same shape. The blanket can be adjusted by simply crocheting more chains in the starting chain.
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. Check out the yarn alternatives I have put together for you.
Can I Change The Size Of The Blanket?
Yes, you can. Each blanket pattern can be adjusted by simply changing the number of rounds you make.

Yes, you can. Please check the copyright section for more details.
