Perfect for little hands to hold and little hearts to love. <3

The Lovebug Mini Ragdoll Lovey was designed using Premier Parfait Chunky yarn for approximately 9 inches of extra soft snuggles! Or use your favourite yarn for a slightly different size. I just finished one with Bernat Blanket Yarn (and an 8.0mm (L) hook) for my daughter and it’s 15 inches, and oh so adorable!

With Valentines Day just around the corner, this sweet little lovebug would make the perfect gift for all your favourite littles. 

The Mini Ragdoll Loveys are designed to be perfect for little hands to hold and little hearts to love.  They have a textured body and knots in each limb for curious little ones to explore.  Plus they have been designed to have embroidered eyes for added safety for those under 3.   

These patterns feature a minimal sewing construction.  The head/body/limbs are all worked in 1 piece making them quick and easy to work up.
