Let’s take flight with a new little one. Babies will love this airplane crochet lovey pattern. This free crochet pattern will walk you through how to make an airplane crochet lovey or just make the airplane as a little crochet toy.
Below you will find the complete pattern and instructional photos for this Airplane Crochet Lovey pattern. You will also find all the materials, stitches, gauge, and sizing information.

Airplane Lovey to Take Up Up and Away
My brother-in-law is training to be a pilot and it just seemed like airplanes would be the perfect theme for the crochet gifts for my little nephew. Now the little boy can pretend to fly like his dad with his little airplane lovey.

A Lovey or just a Toy
This pattern can be used to crochet a cute airplane lovey or just make a few of the airplane toppers to give as gifts. They make a wonderful little toy that can be given as a birthday gift or stocking stuffers.

The Premium Ad-Free PDF Pattern
Below you will find the free pattern with all the instructional photos and videos needed to complete the pattern, but I am also aware that several of us like to crochet on the couch, in the car, or in bed with a printout of the pattern. This is why I also offer a nicely formatted large font PDF version of the pattern that can be purchased on Etsy or Ravelry. You can print the pattern and take it on the go with you or tuck it into your project bag.
