B. Mine Valentine is soft, squishy and filled with love! Using only 3 colors, this cuddly fellow is quick to work up making him the perfect project to gift to your own valentine. Designed with beginners in mind, this pattern features beginner friendly stitches, minimal color changes, and full color reference photos.

This pattern contains instructions to create one (1) Valentines Day Envelope Inspired Cuddler. This is NOT a finished piece.

Difficulty Level: Beginner
Materials Used:
Worsted Weight (WW) #4 yarn in colors: White, Black and Red (alternative colors can be swapped if preferred)
G 4.0mm crochet hook
Polyfil FIber Stuffing
16mm craft eyes (optional; crocheted eyes would also work)
White Craft Felt (to go behind eyes; this is also optional)
Stich Marker
Yarn Needle
Scissors

I created this pattern using a G 4.00mm crochet hook (Clover brand), I realize this is not the standard G size. If you do not have a 4.00mm available, bumping up to a G 4.25mm will still give you the same look without making your Cuddler much larger. Please note: changing the weight of yarn used, hook size, or having a tighter or looser tension may result in a piece that is slightly different in size. The finished size of this Cuddler is approximately 8 inches tall by 9 inches wide. Gauge is not necessarily important for this piece, but you will want to maintain a consistent tension.

If you have any questions at all during the creation process please feel free to contact me. Happy Crocheting!

Yarn Used:
