FREE PATTERNS · HOW TO
My two youngest boys both had lovies when they were babies. They both still sleep with them in their beds
because it is an item that brings them comfort and memories of love! Not to get too mushy, but my boys
absolutely love any and all handmade items. I am sure your lucky little one will adore this baby alien for
years to come!

When I first posted this lovey pattern to my Instagram stories, I had a very busy day responding to
wonderful messages and feedback. It made my heart so happy! Then I went to bed and HOLY MOLY, when
I woke up I had an inbox overflowing with love and ultimately a strong collective curiosity if I would be
bringing this sweet alien to your hands. I knew with that overwhelming popularity of this lovey, I HAD to
write up the pattern.
Also, we are all needing a little virtual pick-me-up and a crochet hug, so I hope you enjoy this free pattern
from me to you!
Please let me know if you have any questions! I am here to help you!

know! Happy crocheting my talented friends!

Blanket
The blanket to this lovey is made using a standard granny square pattern. There are many ways to start and
make a granny square, this is what I have adapted to work best for me.
Some granny squares are made with one right side and one wrong side. This means the square is not turned
after every round. Other squares are made with turning after every round so there is no right side. The
benefit to turning is the square will even itself out and not end up slanted to one side when finished. This
leaves a cleaner-looking square. In these squares, you will not be working into the stitches of the previous
round, you will be working into the ch1 or ch2 sp(corner) of the previous round. Take care to sew in your
ends as you make your squares, to save yourself time when finished.

There is no gauge here, but depending on your tension, you may need to change your hook size. I used the
entire skein of Sweetheart Soft, which made 14 rnds.
Make sure to reference the photos below, if you have never made a granny square before.
Start with a ch3, sl st into 3rd ch from hook to create a ring. You will be working the first round of the granny
square into this ring.
Rnd 1: [everything in this round goes into ring] sc, ch3 (the ch3 counts as dc and ch2 for corner) [3dc, ch2] x
3, 2dc, slst into the first ch. You should have four 3dc-clusters and four ch2 spaces. (12)
Rnd 2: sc into corner, ch2, turn, (the ch2 counts as dc and ch1) *[3dc, ch2, 3dc] into the next corner, ch 1*
repeat 2 more times, 3dc, ch2, 2dc in the next corner, join with a sl st to the first ch 1
Rnd 3: sc into space, ch2, turn, (the ch2 counts as dc and ch1) *[3dc, ch2, 3dc] in corner, ch 1, 3dc into sp, ch
1, *repeat around until last space, 2 dc, join with a sl st to the first ch 1
Rnd 4: sc into the sp, ch 2, turn, (the ch2 counts as dc and ch1) *3dc into next sp, ch 1, [3dc, ch2, 3dc] in
corner, ch 1, 3dc in next sp, ch 1,* repeat around until last space, forgoing the last dc in the final sp, 2dc, join
with a sl st to the first ch 1
Rnd 5 and on: Follow along in this manner. At the beginning of the round, sc, ch2 and turn, (the ch2 counts
as dc and ch1) every ch1 space gets [3dc, ch 1] and every corner gets [3dc, ch2, 3dc] and then a ch 1.

Use straight pins to hold all pieces together while you sew.
First, sew the ears to the side of the head, over rnds 9-15. Make sure they line up with each other while
sewing.
Sew the arms to the bottom of the head, about an inch apart. Make sure the thumb detail is facing up. Leave
tails on the back of the arms for sewing to the head, after sewing the blanket to the alien.
Embroidery
Embroider the eyes over rnds 11-14. Approximately 12 sts apart. Add the eyelids using New Jade.
Embroider the cheeks between rnds 16 & 17, underneath the eyes.
If you are using safety eyes, please include safety warnings for children under 3.
Sew the blanket to the alien with the arms open first. Make sure it is secure before you sew the arms
together. Take care to attach the blanket to the back of the head to cover where the arms have been sewed on.
Also, take care to sew the blanket securely to the arms and head so it will not move when tugged on. When
the blanket is secure, use the remaining yarn to sew the arms in place along the head. Also, sew the two
arms together tightly. Weave in all ends. Pull the blanket out through the arms.
Don’t forget to watch the video tutorial on how to sew your lovey together!

How large did you make the blanket? The yarn I’m using isn’t as large so it’ll take me more than 14
rounds. Thanks! This will be a great gift for a new mom I know.

You can make the blanket any size, but the one in the sample is roughly 18 inches.
