More Mama Made Minis Knotted Loveys

[@PoshCrochetPatterns]

Awww these are so adorable 😻🥰 I'm having my first grandbaby in about a month and a half and I'm starting to make her dolls and loveys so excited!

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Yay!! So exciting! 🥰 Congratulations! 🩷 I enjoy making for my grandbabies! There is nothing sweeter than then that grandbaby.

[@BeeWOWdbyAprilLee]

I absolutely LOVE Larry and Lily.

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Thank you so much! I enjoyed making them! Have the best day!!✌️🏻🤟🏻🧶

[@slowcrochet]

What a beautiful result on those lovies, Ms. Marsha! I'm so glad you gave it the ol' college try and found you had what it takes to make 'em! Well done!

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Thank you, Mary!! 🤟🏻

[@JOSWEBCROCHET]

Love them all! The fox and the hound was one of my children’s favorite videos, too! 🤗💖🐸🦊🐶

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Thank you! I need to see if I can feel find and watch it again. 🥰

[@crochetinghousemouse]

Your loveys are adorable! The Fox And The Hound is one of my daughters favorite movies. I think Copper would be so cool!

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Thank you! My son loved watching The Fox and Hound, and it was such a sweet movie. I appreciate you stopping by. Have a great week.🤟🏻

[@craftablyeverafter]

Hello Marsha ❤ Both of your frogs and the fox is just too cute! Everytime you show the loveys you make, you really put me in the mood to make some as well 😁

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Hey Cassandra!! You should make one. MMM has bear patterns. 🥰 Have a great week!

[@yarnchickenkim]

I’ve made several of the Rye Rabbits and one Tess Toad so far. They are so fast and easy to make, and they look adorable. Thanks for showing us the ones you’ve done. I’ve been using the blanket yarn.

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Yay!! I think it’s addictive once you start making them. Thanks for sharing!! Have a great day!!✌🏼🤟🏼🧶

[@2new2this]

I thought I was the only one that had a problem with the fox. I ripped it out several times too. I even emailed mama made minis because I thought I was doing something wrong, the pattern never said to break or carry the yarn but I assumed they carried it. So their answer was to carry it loosely but I can still see the contrast yarns. Kudos to you for coming up with a great solution!

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Yeah….it took me several do-overs, but I think the fox is too cute. My husband told me it was handmade and shouldn't look like it came off a factory line. So I am ok with the back yarn peaking through a little. ☺️ Have a great day! ✌🏼🤟🏼🧶

[@kittenwiskerz299]

I'm probably too late to comment but I also find the Furls streamline metal hooks the best to use with Bernat blanket yarn. I sttuggled with Clover Amour, but my Furls saved me. And I just got my Knotted Loveys book! Just hope I know enough to make them!

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Hello! Not at all. I always enjoy hearing back from others and hearing how their crafting journey is going! Yes, the streamline hooks kept me from putting projects in the reject pile. I know you are going to enjoy making from the MMM book. Have you decided on what you will make first?

[@beckyhalfhill3552]

You have really inspired my love for loveys!! The frog is adorable and the fox is on my short list! I made a Clifford and mouse inspired by your work and they turned out really swret! I'm going to have to check out those hooks!

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Yay!!! This makes me so happy!! The loveys are just so soft and snuggly. What’s not to love? 🥰 Enjoy and Thanks for sharing!!✌️🏻🤟🏻🧶

[@ASquareGranny]

Those sweet MMM patterns! You are really really an expert at making them, imo! I’ve only worked with Parfait Chunky; not yet tried Bernat Blanket (just velvet style, so far) & I’m nervous about it, oddly enough. I need to make a MMM project & try it out! Beautiful projects, all of them! Hugs and happy Valentine’s Day! ☺️🫶🏻🧶

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Thank you!! I want to try making some loveys from the book in parfait chunky yarn. I like the matte look of Bernat Blanket yarn. Some are softer than others. Thank you for stopping by! Have fun making and Have a great day!! ✌️🏻🤟🏻🧶

[@kimmysweet]

The fox and the hound is one of my favourites, I’d love to see a copper go with his buddy Todd

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

It's one of the sweetest movies! 🥰

[@snipes97vs]

I love watching your show on my TV but I noticed I can hit thumbs up button... But I noticed on my phone it's not mark... I love in lucedale ms so it's nice to see some one from you tube I can relate to... Thank you

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Hey neighbor!! Thank you for all the kind words! I appreciate you being here. 🤟🏼

[@juliebearpark7704]

Thank you for all your tips with these loveys. I, too, was concerned about the yarn changes around the mouth. I thought about sewing on a black strip over the yarn changes at the sides, but I will probably use the method you described. I think carrying the yarn loosely at the back is going to make the stitches too loose on the right side. I ended up cutting and knotting the yarn. I'm going to add a dab of glue to secure the ends. My fox's snout is more rounded than yours. It's not stuffed yet, so I'll see how it goes. Thanks again! I love your toads, too!

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Hello! Thank you! 🥰 That process worked for me, and cleaning up the color change line with yarn and needles helped greatly. I will do this moving forward because I want to make another monkey. 😁 Have a great day! ✌🏼🤟🏼🧶

[@GingerCatCrochet]

I think the fox 🦊 is my favourite 😊🧡

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Thank you!!🥰

[@MystLily]

The fox looks great I just purchased all the plushies from MMM and now that I have them all I just can't decide which one to do first, 50% off was too hard to resist

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Yay!! So exciting!! I wanted to get them all during the 50% off. I'm working on Dune Dino ATM! 😍

[@MichelleQuintanilla-l9n]

I have made several of them already but the one that I had trouble with was the fawn. I can’t wait to see if you have trouble with it too.

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

I want to make the fawn. Thanks for the heads-up. 🥰

[@MichelleQuintanilla-l9n]

@@MimiMakesKeepsakes please let me know if you have issues as I did.

[@alyssamdenovio8559]

I’m new to crocheting 🧶 I’ve done a few Woobles kits. Now I’ve moved onto projects like this. I saw this book on Amazon and knew I had to make these. I’m making the toad now. Yours looks amazing

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Thank you!! Welcome to the world of crochet! I must warn you it is a bit addictive. Enjoy making your lovey! Have a great weekend! ✌️🏻🤟🏻🧶

[@alyssamdenovio8559]

Yes I’m loving it so much and can’t wait to get started. Since you made the toad plush maybe you could help me. I’m on row 16 but I’m having trouble understanding what it’s asking. When doing a slip stitch and 5x bobble do stay on the same row or work across. Since they say to fold it flat they there are 7 stitches on each side.

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

@@alyssamdenovio8559 Thank you! I would love to be more helpful, but I do not have my book with me ATM. Feel free to contact MMM. They are always very helpful. “PAT T E R N SUPPORT We are always happy to help! Please send any pattern questions to [e-mail] We do not offer pattern support on Instagram.”

[@alyssamdenovio8559]

I did email them, haven’t heard anything yet

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

@@alyssamdenovio8559 aw…don’t give up. With most all patterns, the stitches are worked in a complete row. I use a stitch marker to help me know where to begin and end my rows. I still get confused sometimes with stitch placement, but I tell myself to trust the process. 🥰

[@denisesherlock6887]

So cute. I still haven’t made one of these. I need to explore substitutions to Bernat blanket. It kills my arthritic hands.

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

I saw that Michaels had a good selection. I did a bunny lovey in the Sweet Snuggles Lite. It worked great for the lovely. I agree that Bernat can be tough. 🤟🏼

[@grandmamn4263]

The fox has white freckles 😊

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

I need to make another fox. Have a great weekend!

[@snipes97vs]

When you crochet the nose on the dragon is it 3 bobble in the same nostro??? I am not good at reading patterns.. I can crochet a lot of basic I have just always made blanket .. My grandson wanted a dragon so I am trying to... 😳🥰

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Yes! I have done the dragon several ways. I have done the bobble stitch as the pattern suggested. I also did the surface bobble stitch. I will share that video with you! Don't give up! 🤟🏻 kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5zOf4Wbj9OBa7csi=aSN_dUuzk7xAmWgf

[@ambercelestebarnes]

I'm trying to make the rabbit and im having trouble with the ears 😢 is it possible to do a tutorial on the ears? All your loveys turn out so cute and lovely!!

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Thank you! I can't do a tutorial because it is not my pattern but feel free to contact MMM. Sorry, I can't be more helpful. “PAT T E R N SUPPORT We are always happy to help! Please send any pattern questions to [e-mail] We do not offer pattern support on Instagram.”

[@ambercelestebarnes]

@@MimiMakesKeepsakesThat's okay. After fiddling with it, I think I figured out what I was doing wrong. Since it said "in second stitch" instead of " from second stitch" I thought all of the single crochets went into the second stitch instead of one in each stitch starting from the second one. Haha, I'm a beginner so I'm sure that's a silly mistake

[@MichelleQuintanilla-l9n]

I also used a needle and yarn to clean it up too

[@roisindisneylandcastle]

Can you make a KNOTTED LOVEly on a knitting machine

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

I can't .🥰

[@donnawylie4254]

I just found your channel and I LOVE your lovies!!!! Question: what do you charge for them? Thanks for sharing your keepsakes!!!

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Thank you! My price for the market will vary depending on size and color change.

[@gwenwilliams6014]

Have you done the deer yet? I’ve made 4 lovey’s with no trouble but the deer head just doesn’t seem right 🤦‍♀️

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

No, I haven’t made the deer yet. It’s so cute. I imagine it’s going to be very similar to the fox. don’t give up. Have a great week! ✌️🏻🤟🏻🧶

[@chelseap7940]

Do you have any videos showing how you embroider eyes on these? Or do you follow any technique in particular? I really need a visual and can’t find one! The instructions in the book don’t make sense to me.

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Hello! Yes, Cassandra from Craftably Ever After has a great KZbin tutorial for embroidery eyes.

[@txgirla]

Is there a video for the Toad? IM struggling....

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

I struggled at 1st with the toad. I had to put it down and then come back to it. You may be able to reach MMM. Don't give up. 🐸

I am making the panda and I am stuck with trying to figure how to do the legs? Any advice?

Sorry, you are stuck on the legs. 😕 You should be able to email them. They have been helpful to me when I reached out with questions. The legs are split off, and you work one leg at a time. 💖

When I got to the legs having a problem

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

Hello! Sorry, you are stuck at the legs. The legs are split and you complete one leg, then go back with new yarn slip-stitch and finish the second leg. If you are still stuck, feel free to email them. I wish I could be more helpful, but it's a paid pattern, not my own. You got this!🤗
