Sweater Addiction!!

Ahhh! Do you ever crochet something and then start planning the same item in a different color before you've finished the first one??? I made this white cardigan using the Patty Cake Cardi pattern from Ravelry.

(It was my first item on instagram to get more than 100 likes!!!)

This pattern is so quick and easy and you can vary the colors to make very unique sweaters.

Here's a second one I made, keeping the sleeves short:

I like using baby yarn (weight of 3 or 2) for baby items; that way they don't get so heavy.

Have a great crochet day and thanks for checking in!!

Collared Sweater

Good Morning! Happy Spring! It's so nice to see all of the snow melted and the grass turning green. I'm definitely ready for spring and summer! Today I'm sharing a collared sweater that I finished recently.

I love how the collar gives it a more "dressy" look. = )

You can find the pattern here.

(There are a lot of other cute patterns on the same site, Crochetncreate.com)

I used Loops and Threads Snuggly Wuggly yarn from Michaels...

it's very soft.

Enjoy! Thanks for checking in and have a great day!

Baby booties

Wow! Once I found this pattern, I 'hooked' (ha, ha!) on making 

them! 

The pattern is here.

You really can make them in 15 minutes or less!

The original pattern uses chunky yarn.

I didn't have any chunky yarn on hand, so I used 

I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby.

The fun thing about these booties is using a large hook,

so you're done before you know it!

The light blue pair was made using Loops and Threads Capri 

from Michaels. It's super soft, and a little thicker, so these

turned out beautifully.

Happy Crocheting!!!

Just for fun

I did a little "just for fun" crochet this weekend...I have no plans for these items except maybe donate them to a good cause. ; )

It's hard to resist making cute baby items!! Here is the link to the hat pattern. 

And these booties are so quick, easy and cute!

I made a few pair...

 You can find the pattern here.

Have fun and thanks for checking in!

Blankie Update!

I finished my little Viking inspired baby blankie.

It's about 36" x 54." 

I did a little edging...ch2, sc around the outside.

It adds a nice finished touch.

If you need more inspiration, type 'granny ripple baby blanket' in the 

Pinterest search bar and you'll find all kinds of

cute color combinations!

Thanks for checking in and have a great day...

hope you can crochet today!! = )

Baby donation...

We had our annual service project this year at school, in which we collect items for babies and donate them. I made a bath mitt and a wash cloth, paired them up with some baby wash and a rubber duck.

I used "I Love this Cotton" from Hobby Lobby, so the wash cloth and bath mitt are super soft. 

I couldn't find a yellow rubber duck...but this purple one added a little color! And hopefully it will  bring joy to a little baby's bath!

You can find the wash cloth pattern here.

And the bath mitt here. (I made mine to fit my hand.)

Thanks for checking in and have a great day!
