My husband and I have made 5 of these beauties as gifts for first time mommies. The last was for twins....a boy and a girl. Makes me feel all toasty inside when I run into these new mommies in a store and their little ones are wrapped in this adorable blankie.
Can't wait to try it. Pattern states baby weight yarn, but how much yarn is needed for project? If anyone can give me an answer, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
I'm into 3-D crocheting and this ranks up there with the best of them! Love it!
i made it love when i got done.
I love this
this is one of the cute est blankets I have ever seen. I make baby blankets for a church and I can't wait to do this one. Bless you
I've made this in preemie & newborn sizes. I make one teddy square for head. Color can be black & white, for panda look. This pattern is fabulous and always draws compliments!
This is adorable. I will certainly make this. Thanks.
That is the cutest thing I've seen in a long while. I may take crocheting back up just to make one... or twenty!
can you tell us how much materials we need? thanks. I can't wait to make it. Just a wonderful idea!!!
i think this pattern is adorable

Ah-dorable! Will probably get a giggle out of any baby or young child. Once my neice was given a gift like this and she actually attempted to ride it! Kodak moment. It's in the family scrapbook.
I made one for my niece just on a bigger scale and she loved it !!!
Very cute.... perfect size for little ones sure to be a favorite.

I really like this Teddyghan as a floor blanket for little ones! Great pattern, thanks for the rewriting!
Such an adorable pattern! I've made it with one head square,substituting a triangle crochet square in place of the other heads. My center squares are solid, so no little holes to catch on baby. You can make squares any size & color, too! Great pattern!
