The baby crafting continues....

We have so many baby projects on the go, and so few we can share with you! (We don't want to ruin any surprises!) I made this hat for my lovely friend Lindsay who is expecting in September, and couldn't wait to give it to her.

Lindsay doesn't yet know if she is having a boy or a girl, so I went for something a bit more gender neutral. I also made a pair of baby booties in the same sea foam green colour to match.

The yarn I used for these projects was Martha Stewart Crafts Merino.... it was so soft! AND I got it on a super sale at Michaels, what a bonus! 

Patterns used: (Links to ravelry pattern)

Booties: Crochet wrap around button infant boots

I modified this pattern a tad by doubling the length of the wrap around strap - I wanted it to go all around the foot! 

Toque: Baby Stripes Hat

I made a few little changes to this pattern - as I used a smaller yarn and hook, I added an extra increase row. I also did straight double crochet for the brim instead of the stripe pattern.

I have a little bit of this yarn left over.... any ideas for some tiny infant project to go with my booties and hat?

  4. Oh wow, I LOVE that hat! Really nice work! (And I think green is a great choice for gender-neutral baby stuff.) xoxo
