Free Crochet Swan Princess Lovey Pattern (MODs)

A few weeks ago I received a custom order for a Swan Princess Lovey. I sent my customer lots of examples of water type blankets, flowers, swans, and colors. This is what we came up with, and I'm so happy that she loves it! I used a mixture of 3 free patterns as well as lots of my own modifications. I've added all of the info below. :)
