Panda Lovey (Security Blanket) Crochet Pattern

This written crochet pattern (in US terms) provides instructions to make a panda lovey (or security blanket), and the finished product makes the perfect gift for a baby or toddler!

The finished lovey (granny square) is approximately 35 cm in length and width, and the panda head and arms (amigurumi) is approximately 10 cm in height.

The pattern calls for a 4.00 mm crochet hook, white and black yarn, as well as seven different yarn colours, to create a rainbow effect: a shade of dusty pink, pale orange, pale yellow, mint green, turquoise, pale blue, and lilac (this lovey was custom-made for a friend who recently gave birth to her precious ‘rainbow baby’, a beautiful baby girl…and she also loves panda bears!). However, the lovey would also look lovely in only black and white.

If following the pattern exactly, one skein (either 50 g or 100 g) of each colour yarn (DK) is more than sufficient for this project.

Gauge is not important for this pattern.

Additional materials required are:
- darning needle
- teddy filling
