Materials You Will Need
- Soft worsted or baby yarn in golden yellow for Pooh

- Embroidered eyes only, for a baby-safe finish
- Soft fiberfill for the head
Tips for a Baby-Safe Lovey
Security blankets for babies must be safe above all: always embroider the eyes and nose instead of using plastic safety eyes, and weave in every end securely. The blanket portion works best in a simple granny or shell stitch with soft, washable baby yarn. Pooh’s little head and arms attach firmly at the center, so stitch them down with several passes to withstand years of cuddles and washes.

This Pooh security blanket is a treasured baby shower gift and a perfect first lovey for a Winnie the Pooh themed nursery. Loveys become childhood companions, which makes this one of the most meaningful items you can crochet. Pair it with a matching Pooh hat or booties for a complete handmade gift set that new parents never forget.
