Notes

• Pattern is written as Lovey (Lovey, Stroller/Baby, Toddler, Crib, Throw, Twin).

• Stitch counts are given as {Lovey, Stroller/Baby, Toddler, Crib, Throw, Twin}

• The puff stitch used to create the border is different from the puff stitch used to create the blanket. Specific instructions for the border puff stitch can be found in the border section.

• Tip: Instead of counting stitches for every row, mark off each "block" of single crochet stitches or bobble stitches, plus the bobble stitches around the border.

  • The bobble stitch border on each side of the blanket contains 5 stitches, while each "block" contains 20 stitches. When you reach each stitch marker, switch to either single crochet stitches or bobble stitches (see image below)

Follow instructions for the border you want to use (bobble border, or classic shells).

• Yo, pull through all 9 loops on hook.

1. ch 3, ps in 2nd ch from hook, sl st into 1st ch

2. sc in next 5 sts
