Oh look, another baby pattern! Hopefully you aren't all getting sick of them yet, since I'm sure this won't be the last baby pattern that wends its way onto this blog. (But don't worry, my next pattern is something more universal.) They say that "necessity is the mother of invention" and the latest need in our apartment is a lovey for Little #3 as we transition her to the crib. So it's time for a new lovey pattern! I debated about which animal to use for a long time, but ultimately went with a classic: a sweet sleepy puppy. Because who doesn't love puppies, right? 

I'm a big fan of hand-me-downs, especially for baby things. Babies grow so quickly that most of the time there's still a lot of life left in their things once they're done with them. We were blessed to be given so many great baby hand-me-downs for our firstborn and we've put them to good use. But not everything made it out alive. Among the casualties was the crib mobile. Little #2 made do without,  but Little #3 needs constant attention/distraction, so a mobile jumped up a lot higher on my priority list. Luckily, crochet saves the day again! Oh, magic yarn, what can't you do?
