I was wondering a nice baby dress but very easy to do. I thought “I do not know any baby!!”), when it was done, I show it to my son and DIL. She found it so cute, and told me to sell it to her, as she has a friend with a newborn baby girl.

Snugglie Crochet "Quilt"

Introduction

I designed and crocheted this blanket for my youngest daughter. I made it a little larger than the pattern is written for. Mine is 5x4 blocks. The pattern is written for 4x4 blocks. It is just a little snuggly blanket. I've wanted to try using the "fur stitch" for awhile, so this is what I tried. I like it a lot, though I might have preferred it in an even softer yarn. Gauge isn't crucial, so feel free to try a different yarn.

Materials List

Hook: I (or the hook appropriate for your yarn)

Yarn: I Love This Yarn! in two colors--I used periwinkle and buttercup. This is a worsted weight yarn that is 100% acrylic. You'll need one skein of each.

Yarn Needle

Finished Size

About 26in x 26in

Gauge

Gauge is not crucial for this project.

Fur Stitch squares:

Row 1: sc in 2nd chain from hook and in ea ch across (14 sc). Ch 1, turn.

Simple baby booties

Simple baby booties

Introduction

Baby booties are what I always make up for friends and family who are soon to have a little baby come into their lives. However, when I was pregnant I didn't get around to making any booties for my own little boy and by the time that I had a few minutes spare to do a little crochet for him he was already 7 months old!

So I designed these little booties for him - keeping it simple so that they would suit a little boy (though if made up in another colour they would probably look just as sweet on a little girl) and after a few failed bootie attempts I think I have come up with a pattern that is simple to make up and a good sturdy shape for little baby feet.

Materials List

DK wool
3.5mm crochet hook
Darning needle (to work in loose ends)
2 matching buttons

Finished Size

My finished booties measure 10cm long by 4.5cm wide. Not too sure what age I would recommend these booties for - they are bigger than newborn size, possibly best fit for around 6 months old but remember that every baby is different so make them early and wait until they grow into them.

Gauge

I will need to add this later...

Notes

ch - chain
