Free Crochet Pattern- Super Easy Cube Lovey | Cherry and Crochet Designs

 Super Easy Cube Lovey

This quirky children's toy is super easy to make and also works up quickly, making it rewarding to make and to give. It could be personalised with letters, appliques or faces on the sides of the cube, as well as simply different colours for each square made. It would make a great last minute gift, especially if it were personalised for the child. The pattern itself is very easy, using only basic single crochet and double crochet stitches and no abbreviations are used, only full terms, making it accessible for beginners. It could easily be your first toy project.

5mm crochet hook
Double knitting yarn in colours of your choice

Fiberfill or shredded fabric for the stuffing of the cube 
Yarn needle

Cube Lovey

Faces of cube (make 6)

Assembly

Sew the cube onto the middle of the squares using two strands of yarn at once, and make multiple stitches for security. Strongly pull the cube away from the squares, if it doesn't pull away from the squares, it is secure enough. Please be very careful, especially if making for a child. 

Weave in any remaining ends

This quick and easy toy is suitable as a gift for both pets and children, although supervise pets for safety.

Free Crochet Pattern- Stuffed Fish Toy | Cherry and Crochet Designs

Stuffed fish toy

This simple fish toy would be ideal for both children and pets (don't give it to pets that will eat it though!!)

An ideal present for a fish lover, it is large enough for a baby to safely play with, (although it should be lined so the child doesn't get to the stuffing), and could equally be used to play fetch with a small dog. The pattern uses only full terms, no abbreviations, so it can be understood by beginners easily. Enjoy!
