Ballerina Lovey Baby Blanket

This crochet ballerina lovey pairs a sweet amigurumi doll with a soft mini blanket body. It makes the sweetest handmade nursery gift for a new baby girl.

I’ve been calling this sweet girl Bella, and bringing her to life on my hook was such a calming, joyful project from the first round to the last stitch. The combination of simple amigurumi shaping for the head, arms, and hair buns with a flowing, textured blanket base gives it the perfect cuddle-friendly feel for little hands. I finished her off with delicate ballet slippers and a soft pastel palette that looks beautiful folded in a nursery or tucked into a crib.
