My Minnie Mouse Baby Lovey
It is so great when something finally clicks and makes sense. I have gotten fairly good at sculptural stuff/amigurumi. My granddaughter, who is turning 1 next month, loves Minnie Mouse, so I decided to crochet her a blankie lovey. The only pattern I could find was very cute but did not have a face. So I looked at pics and made one! I am making a 12" red granny square with one row of black at the bottom and a white ruffle to attach the black head and ears to. I am really excited that I was able to just "see" what I wanted to do with the face and made it. This is it so far:

Looks good and you seem to be on the right track. That is a hard face to capture and I think you have done a good job.

Hi, It looks & sounds like it will be really cute when done. Please post a picture when done. I might like to make one adult size. I have a sister in law that is Mickey & Minnie mouse collector.

That's a good idea! I make some loveys that have the head at one corner instead of in the middle--you could do that, so that it could be folded up. The heads I make are only about the size of a baseball, but you might want to make one bigger. And put arms on it...I just have not been doing that. I hate sewing pieces together and have almost stopped making amigurumi because of it. When I make the loveys, I just attach the 6 sc that would be in the magic circle to the middle of the square. You could do that in the corner stitches. I will definitely post pics.

This is a free good sight for Dysney charts and graphs for all kinds of dysney characters. Allot of Mickey and Minnie Mouse. It is knitted but I can not see why you could not single crochet them also .. Worth looking at. HAPPY CRAFTING......Davena
